iPhone 11 “radar/sonar” sound

Hi all,

Lately my iPhone has started to randomly make a very low sonar radar pulsing sound. Like it’s searching or getting searched. It is not any of my alarms or apps that are creating the weird sound.

It is always at night it does it, first time I heard it was when I went to bed and everything was quit.

It doesn’t care if I set it to airplane mode or change the volume, I have to turn off the phone and turn it on again before it stops.

Thought it maybe was Find my iPhone but it wasn’t.

any ideas?

best regards

Kristian

Loud System Sounds My iPhone 12 Pro Max with iOS 16.6.1 suddenly is blasting system sounds at max volume despite the slider being over at the left end in Sounds and Haptics. The only thing I can think of that I did differently lately was put it in Airplane Mode the night before last instead of the normal charge with power off as I was expecting an early call, and updated to the latest iOS as soon as it was presented. Any suggestions?

Noises coming from earpiece speaker My iPhone 11 Pro max is making weird static, ticking, crackling noises coming from the earpiece speaker. This happens when I’m using my phone, typing, on a call, or even just scrolling on my Amazon app. Is there anything I can do from home to remedy this? If it makes any difference I got a notification recently saying that my headphone usage had been up too high but I only connect it to my car usually.

Extremely loud screeching noise on my iphoneX and ipad I experienced a loud, screeching noise coming from my iphoneX and ipad in the middle of the night when neither one was in use. The sound was similar to a smoke alarm. This sound first came from my iphone, i powered down the phone, then waited a few minutes and powered it up. Ten minutes later the same screeching noise was coming from my ipad. I powered down both devises until the morning when I could search the internet for a solution to this problem. I found many people with similar experiences, dating back to the iphone 6, but no answers. FYI - I recently updated the software on both devised to iOS 14.6. This noise could seriously damage the users hearing if they were using earbuds. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this problem, or if it is being addressed.
