Pegs might not be in the entire way.

it usually takes a day or so for strings to really settle in. If they are still doing it in a couple days then its a different issue.

I had a problem with a rattling bridge once, most likely there's some screw in the bridge that isn't tight enough (thats what happend to me) so you just bring that baby in to your local guitar shop and tell them to fix it.
