Buzzing noise when iPhone 4s vibrates

My new 4s buzzes loudly when the unit vibrates. It is not the sim slot or door as the noise exists with the sim and door out of the phone. The buzzing is almost as loud as an audible tone and quite annoying and distracting. Anyone else with this issue?

Went back to Apple store tonight.

Was told loud buzzing sound that's produced when iPhone vibrates is not considered a default.

Noticed that the battery is draining a bit fast.

The apps that were running in background were deleted, but the battery is still draining out a bit fast.

Go figure!

I am tired of going to Apple and getting faulty replacement iPhones.

I never posted on this forum, but it is so annoying that I have to post.

Same problem for me. It is really really annoying when people send me multiple texts, and I get angry at them just because of this defect.

I went to the Apple store twice. First time, the guy noticed it within less than a second by hearing it. He brought it inside and actually "TRIED" to fix it for about 30 minutes. He came back out, and it was gone! I was really happy, but unfortunately, it came back after a week.

So I decided to go back again and ask for a new phone. This time, a girl was helping me. She just said she didn't hear any sound, and she brought it into the back. Only this time, she came out 5 minutes (I'm not sure if she even tried) and said everything looked fine. She even mentioned her manager said nothing sounded wrong.


Shame on Apple genius bar. Literally playing deaf with me. Apple does make fantastic product, but I'm definitely surprised by their service. If they can't cover all their defects with warranty, just DON'T cover them! Can't believe I bought apple care+ for nothing. They refused to repair it or give me a refurb.
