baffle means to confuse or leave a person stumped (without an answer). Rattle can mean a description of a noise, such as "the toy made a rattling noise." Also, a rattle is a toy, since it makes a rattling noise, it's called a rattle. Rattle can also be used figuratively to say that a person is talking too much. For example, "I was annoyed at my friend because he kept on rattling about how superior his phone is."
