Screen sounds hollow and noisy when tapping

As soon as I started using my first and new iPhone 12, I was surprised and disappointed by how the screen sounds when tapping on it.

It feels hollow and you can clearly hear every single tap, like it is made of plastic. This is especially true when you tap on the center of the screen, while the corners are much more silent.

I found a lot of users in the net complaining about same experience with their iPhone 12.

Is this normal? Does the newest iPhone 13 have the same issue?

N.B. I know a lot of users are ok with that and don't complain about it.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

It's a TOUCH screen, not a Tap Screen. It is natural that the unsupported centre of a large screen will sound different to the edges and corners. Any drummer will tell you sound varies across the surface, but tapping is not the way a screen is designed to be used.

First, when I say TAP I mean TOUCH.

Secondly, this issue is encountered on iPhone 12, I tested on iPhone 7 plus with BIGGER screen and on different Android phones with more LARGER screens than the iPhone 12, they all have a solid touch feeling.

Just go test before replying!
