keypad tone heard during phone call

Same problem, and it's not the proximity sensor either. I have scoured the internet and seen others complaining about this, but not one person seems to know the answer.

It is very annoying when during the middle of a call this keytone sound blairs out all sound.

Anyway, it would be great if anyone on the planet has the knowledge and exact cause of this issue.

Keytone sound during call.

I had the same issue on my iPhone 7 Plus and now with my new iPhone 8 plus on the Sprint network. I have reset my phone through Apple customer support assist and have an active case with Sprint and Apple. I think it is time to contact the media on this issue as both Sprint and Apple do not seem to have a clue as to what is causing the issue. I do notice that I do not have the keynote sound when calling a business, only when I call another cell phone or residential line. I do wonder if there could be interfierance or bleed through from another network close to the same MHz range. I have also brought up the question of active phone tapping on the network, which was quickly dismissed and I was reassured that that was not allowed. I just submitted another round of screen shots to Sprint and am growing very tired of the interruptions on the network. My next move will be to record the sounds and submit to the FCC.

Sorry, iPhone 5 also, iOS6, Sprint.

I am having the same problem -- beeping while on a phone call. It reminds me of when we had land lines and someone would pick up and start to dial without realizing someone was on the phone already. Very aggravating. It is not my sensor either. Checked that. Will send a request to Apple as well.

My opinion is Apple uses or allows for their devices to record your conversations. The beep tone you hear is similar to those of your conversations being recorded. You can thank the Obama admin for this as Apple in the future will be using their devices to know everything about you.

Please call the FCC and file a claim on this issue if your carrier claims they cannot assist. (Keytone sound during call)

I am having the same issue. I am with Telus and they weren't sure how to fix my issue. I just switched companies and got a new Iphone 8 plus. It seems to happen more frequently when I am on the phone with 1 specific person, but it has happened with others. It is not all the time but very random. Were you or anyone able to resolve this issue?

My case with all the notes (6 months worth) has been submitted according to Apple Engineering.

I would suggest anyone with this issue call Apple support, and ask for assistance from senior level support to submit a problem to engineering. Also, submit a feedback request here: http://www.apple.com/feedback

Ask to title your request "Keytone sound during call".

Last, make sure when you call Apple you are ready to run through the diagnostics they will want you to do.

That is:

1. Back up your phone first either through iTunes or iCloud.

2. Restore your Phone.

3. If you are on iOS7, make sure it's the latest version.

-- If you are on iOS6, the last version at this time is iOS 6.1.4

4. Be prepared to do that either prior to the call or during.

5. Ask for your case to be submitted to Engineering and to have a call back to resolve.

Hopefully if we all band together, they will find the issue and we can get our hearing back after the numbing keytone has been blasted in our ears enough times.

Please share your expierences here, but also note that other threads exist on this forum as well for the exact same problem!!

And many more!

... And on almost ALL the carrier forums for support as well. If we all ask for help, and not just complain here, we should get a meaningful response and hopefully a fix! Post up here when your case is in with Apple support.

I just bought a 5s and it's doing the same thing. With the new laws in Illinois it's virtually impossible to talk on yoru phone unless hands free. I cannot use my bt device because of the beeping. I'm a formen for IDOT and I'm on the phone a lot. Help please

I have a 4S on Sprint and also having the same issues. Driving me batty! I contacted Sprint they stated it was an iOS issue and that it may repair itself on the next update.. That was 2 updates ago.. So very aggrivating. Wish someone would have a resolution.

Yeah, Sprint is full of valuable advice like that.

What's amazing is Apple cant explain this issue. No one can apparently. It's an unexplained phenomena like Big Foot, UFO's and J'Lo's badunkydunk.

So to clarify.....

Apple has no answer.

AT&T has no answer.

Sprint has no answer.

Verizon has no answer.

Maybe we should call SETI as our phones seem to be phoning home....

I've been having this issue as well since I got my iPhone 5 back in Oct 2012. I also recently got a new iphone 5 back in early Jan 2014 and it's still having this issue.

I will be talking to my fiancee and all of a sudden I hear what sounds like someone pressing down on one of the numbers. It's so loud and surprises me. My fiancee says she didn't hear anything.

This is such an annoying issue.

I think this is actually a Sprint problem and not an Apple problem. My friend has a Galaxy phone on the Sprint network and it does the same thing. Trying to contact Sprint to see what they have to say about it.

I have this same issue on an iPhone 4s. I am on the speakerphone when this happens.

Nothing about Apple works like it use to...
