Why do you I hear a knocking on wood type of sound when I am on the phone with other iPhone users? Does anyone else have this problem? It is very annoying I tried iPhone reset and carrier and hardware and no luck

So I’ve been having the same issue, I thought my friend I talk to all the time was doing major remodeling. Anyway, I also have Mint, so today I tried turning WiFi calling off and that seems to work, I’ve been on the phone for a few hours and the hammering is gone. Give it a try!
Yes! Mine also went away for a few weeks and it’s back! I have been to T-Mobile and called Apple tech to sort out the issue. T-Mobile was useless and the Apple tech tried for an hour to figure it out. The Apple tech even references this thread. He had no clue as to why it was happening and said it must be a T-Mobile issue. Do you have T-Mobile?
I did the same thing spent time with t mobile and went to an apple tech and said the device was fine and couldn’t figure it out. Seems there is no solution at this time but best thing that we know is it seems to be happening to a lot of people so it’s not just you.
Does anyone have this happening while on Verizon or another network provider?
I have tried Bluetooth through my car, AirPods, speaker and regular phone and happened with all three again I am with T Mobile this never happened when I was on Verizon. I feel if we all go to t mobile and reference this chat maybe they can see how many people are struggling with this issue and do something about it. I hope if anyone gets any feedback or solutions to please share with the group.
I have the same experience. My carrier is T Mobile and I thought it only happened when the person I was talking to was on speakerphone. However, I'm trying to isolate it; it also happens when I leave a VM. It's not a dirty screen or anything on my phone. It's a system problem. It's not a sharp knock. I also don't believe that it's due to a wiretap. The govt has better ways to do that without letting the user hear clunky noises in the background. I can do better than that by simply using one of off the shelf recording software available online.
I have had knocking noise with T Mobile, not mint. While on Wi-Fi not on Wi-Fi, in different locations, on Bluetooth and not, and I went to t mobile and apple support and still nothing has been done.
anyone on this thread that previously had this issue and now is resolved can you please share what you did
I too have had the same problem I noticed for about a year or more now. It was in my iPhone 13 but now my iPhone 12. The person on the other end does not hear it. I actually recorded it because it happens frequently. Glad to know it’s not just me. No, you’re not alone.
I have had knocking noise with ATT, T-Mobile and now Mint. I noticed it a little over a year ago. It happens so frequently I feel like someone on the other end wants me to know they are listening. I keep my Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and even internet off but it still happens. I’ve learned to live with it because I’ve waisted too much time at the Apple Store and with service providers. The only thing that bothers me most is when my screen goes back and it forces me to look at the camera before ir comes on although all settings are off. Apple seem to have no answers for that either. They had my phone for two weeks and the problem persist. Go figure.
It is not an issue. Sorry. It is a normal. The knocking is what an iPhone does when dialing a FaceTime call. I do not use FaceTime, but for some reason it called the other phone. That might be a question. Why did it dial the other iPhone. A mystery to me. Other than that, there is no mystery. FaceTime call.
iPhone XR on Mint Mobile (T-mobile network). I've noticed the knocking for about 2 years now. Thought my phone was tapped, but reading this thread leads me to believe that it's a network issue with T-mobile / Mint Mobile. Sucks.
I've also been experiencing this issue, without a doubt the sound is that of knocking on wood in a steady cadence. However I am using a google pixel 7 pro, and my carrier is google-fi. My girlfriend who is the only person im on the phone with often enough to have noticed this occurrence is on an iphone, i dont know which carrier. She heard the sound once, but it was likely an echo from it happening on my phone.

I have the same issue exactly. I phone 13 T mobile past 8 months. It sound like a wooden clipboard with paper on it.It is distracting and disruptive. Glad I’m not alone. I hope there is some solution to the problem
Keep telling TMobile. Only they can fix their network.
I was with sprint which is now acquired by T-Mobile. I have the same issue. There’s a knocking sound at a specific tempo. The weird part is that I only hear it when I call one of my friends. It doesn’t happen with anyone else :/
Commenting here just to keep the thread going. This has been happening to me for about a year now. I thought it was my previous iPhone, switched to the new 15, and same thing happens. I also have T-Mobile, and as someone that will be on a long phone call for work, it starts to drive me crazy after a while. I had previously contacted Apple support, and their suggestion was to try switching carriers, but based on this thread that I finally found, it's good to know I'm not alone, I'm not going crazy, and that it is fairly easy to trace back to T-Mobile. This needs to be fixed. If I didn't get such a good deal with T-Mobile, I would happily leave.
I just got a new IPhone SE and have the same issue! Apple was kind and ran numerous tests! It’s not the new phone. I also have T-Mobile that I recently switched! I think it has to be some issues with T-Mobile
as my other phone was switched from Verizon to T-Mobile and I am not having the issue with! Also a SE
I’ve already been there done that Apple diagnosed iPhone 14 Pro Max and said your phone is working and it’s basically not our problem you need to contact t mobile or change carrier. Got a new phone replacement yesterday, and guess what, it’s doing the same thing on new phone
