Is there a way to tension the spring on a brake lever?

I have Ultegra 6800 and the left hand lever rattles. It need a little more tension to hold it still.

Any idea?

Loch side.
You need to tension the brake cable and get rid of any play before it takes.

It's usually down to a sticky brake cable.
The spring in the brake caliper is what generally pulls the brake lever tight and stops it rattling.
