Beeping during call on iPhone 5s

I purchased the iPhone 5s yesterday and have it on the ATT system. During my first call today I noticed there was a beep that would occur randomly. It sounded as if the other party was pushing a button. This is my 3rd iPhone during the past 4 yrs so I am comfortable in saying it is not a notification. There was also no incoming call during this time. The other party could not hear the beep. This was not an issue on my 4s that I upgraded from.

I too am experiencing this issue. I've had 5 iPhones over the years, none of which did anything like this. My issue is with a 5S on all iOS 7 versions (7.0, 7.01, 7.02).

Detail and troubleshooting thus far:

  • The phone makes a short beep, like a quick numeric keypad press
  • The proximity sensor works fine as my display does turn off
  • When I pull the phone away from my ear, the keypad is not displayed
  • The person I'm speaking with cannot hear it
  • If I deliberately press a number on the iPhone keypad during a call, both I and the person I'm speaking with can hear it
  • I haven't heard it while speaking to someone who is on a landline, though given the beeps' randomness, this could be a fluke
  • I have not experienced the issue while using my bluetooth headset which I use about half the time
  • Sometimes it's once or twice during a call, sometimes >10 times
  • I have done a full restore and the issue still applies

I have had the same issue, only had it on the iPhone 5s. It's happened on all versions of IOS 7. I have called Apple and I was directed to AT&T and they told me about resetting the phone. Nothing has worked. No one else can hear it on the other end . Has anyone been able to fix this? It reminds me of how in the past if so one was recording your call you would hear a consistent beep to let you know the call was being recorded.


It's very annoying as it is so random, sometimes not happening then sometimes really often.

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.3: I am also experiencing a constant beep as is used to let you know a call was being recorded. This only occurred when paired with bluetooth, not when using directly. Very annoying, unpleasant, and interfering with the recipient's ability to hear clearly (not to mention mine.) I don't know that they heard it, but I didn't think to ask.
