Weird clicking noise from iPhone 11

Same problem here with iPhone 11. Very annoying. In December 2019 I send my phone to assistance and came back the same with this click and they said that the problem was not present. Waiting for iOS update. Finger crossed.

Hello,

I'm French and I still don't have an answer.

I have noticed a little noise when I receive a call on the iPhone when it is in vibrate mode and "lift to activate" is disabled.

The iPhone vibrates well but there is a little sound coming out of the speakers (a little short noise) with the vibration "synchronized".

When I put another vibration "accent" or "pulsations" 'in settings) the little "little short noise" disappears.

The sound I hear seems to come out of the speakers because when I approach the iPhone, the little "little short noise" comes out of the speaker from the bottom and the top (notch).

Here are links to videos that I recorded and put on Youtube to listen to the mysterious "petit bruit court":

No bug (test in settings) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kET3aj8juE&feature=youtu.be

With bug (Incoming call in vibrate) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlhgHVRXKjU&feature=youtu.be

I forced the reboot, restored the iPhone (tested without putting back the backup) and still the same problem.

I think it's the hardware bug because when I test the vibrate in the settings/sounds and vibrations/ringtones/vibration/synchronized, there's no "little short noise".

But when a person calls me on the iPhone and the iPhone is in vibrate mode, there are these little short noises.

You'd have to do a test on another iPhone 11 to see if they all have the same problem (but there should be no noise around where to listen this bug).

I'm under iOS 13.3.1 on my iPhone 11

Thanks for your answers because I think it's a software bug.

Ive also been hearing a loud clicking noise on my iPhone 11. I’ve only had it a few months and just recently stated to hear it. Ive disabled every audio setting and I still have it. Is it the actual phone?

@Apple singapore, I am experiencing this same issue. It happened recently. It’s like a tick sound that occurs once - when I pull up my tabs, or zoom in on a picture, or toggle buttons on Assistive touch. The sound is similar to typing on the keyboard and occurs when a silent vibration is triggered? You can only hear it when it’s really quiet so the people at Apple didn’t really believe it was an issue :( They have changed the haptic engine, did a hard reset and everything and now they say it’s not an issue.

Everyone who’s got this issue, relax! IT IS NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE as some people have tried to persuade here. This issue is now fixed in iOS 13.4 Beta that’s available right now. Update to the beta or wait for the public launch of 13.4. Cheers.

Myra I read the form. I don’t know how to do a beta update. Never have done that. I’ll wait til they release the update to everyone and hope it fixes the issue. Thanks for the sarcastic comment though, very helpful. 🙄

I have the same problem in my iPhone 11 and it’s on iOS 13. I thought it was only me and Im so happy that I’m not the only one with this stupid clicking noise problem because it’s driving me crazy, every time I click on something on my phone it does the stupid clicking noise and I have tried everything and anything helps and it’s more annoying at night because it’s really quiet so I can hear it every single time 😩 I hope they can fix this problem soon in the new software update because I’m not the only one with this stupid clicking noise problem

YES there is a way to solve this, all the answers fail to mention that in the same area is another setting, Lock Sounds.

This must be turned OFF so that when you untick Keyboard Clicks the phone can make the change. You do not need to turn off System Haptics, I've just proved it on my iPhone updated to Gold Master 13.4

I think it is from Facebook Messenger. I have the same problem and it is the only place that I hear those noises normally. It is very frustrating because it beeps even when don’t disturb is on and one night I had to shut down my device in order to stop it from beeping. I don’t know hopefully it will be fixed with and update soon 🤞🤞

The subtle but soft clicking sound happens to me whenever it is in silent mode.

Here is the solution that worked for me:

Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Turn off “Phone Noise Cancellation”

With the noise cancellation turned off, the clicking sound is gone even if i turned the system haptics back on. Hope this helps!

Everyone who's still having this issue, do download and install the latest iOS (it's iOS 13.4.1 for me). I've just updated my iOS and that annoying piece of &$@%#£ click is finally gone! Go set yourselves free too guys. Hope it works for you all. That annoying click is not something I'd wish even upon my worst enemies. Fingers crossed!

I contacted apple and they said it was a software issue but unless I take it to a store (can’t because of COVID) there’s not much they can do. I’m hoping an update, when they release one, will solve it.

I tested another 7 plus and it also did it, though was a little quieter than mine!

Same issue here. Have u solved the problem?

I have that exact issue. Adjusting settings does not work. Any other ideas? I'd hate to think there are none other than going to a specialist.
