Q: popping noise when using headphone

Hello, I have been noticing popping sound from wearing the headphone. It usually occurs when the keypad pops into view. It's rather subtle and I can't say I am annoyed by it, but I just want to see if other people has the similar experience.

Mac Mini PPC G4 1.5GHz, Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Is there any lint or anything in the headphone jack port?? you may want to blow it out to clear it just in case...

I definitely don't hear it on mine I just paid real close attention while keyboard was told to come in and out several times... was in quite room too...

I'd bet on lint in the port or I guess maybe it's already time to do a restore and see if that helps any...might as well choose restore from back up just in case that works for you...that option will be less time consuming

thanks for the suggestion, I tried the things you mentioned, unfortunately it still produce the subtle pop/click sound. But again i ain't really annoyed by it and iPad works great otherwise.

Oh my goodness. What you're simply hearing, dear user, are the default click sounds accompanying your typing. You can turn this off in Settings under Sounds.

Cheers!

OK, but that will play through your headphones while you're typing unless you turn it off and you did mention you notice it when the keyboard comes up. On mine there's no click when the keyboard comes up. If you take the keyboard off the screen, it clicks. But whatever it is, it shouldn't be there. So keep checking. There must be an answer for it.

I tried this after turning my volume up to maximum. I then went to the search screen all the way to the left and also used the keyboard in some other apps and was not able to hear any clicking sounds other than the normal audio feedback from hitting keys.

Did you ever get a solution to this- as I have experienced this also-
when I slide into view with the keyboard- there is a slight pop in the background-

Does it still happen to you- or should I return this ipad -

Iphone 5 is doing this. It happens anytime a sound is initiated. Really annoying. It's the on board amp turning on and off. Happens 5 seconds after you stop typing yet leave the keyboard open. Must have been a power saving measure.
