iPhone 6 Plus vibration is ridiculously loud... is this normal?

Mine is super loud too. I am hoping its just how it is and not a defect on a bunch of phones. I am planning to pop over to my apple store later and see if it sounds like that on the displays.

Same story here. The vibrate shouldn't sound this loud. It is unusable in "silent" mode. Wondering how many others have this same issue.

Yeah, its pretty loud on mine. I'll just keep my vibrate off for now until, hopefully it is addressed somehow.

if it wasn't for the noise, I would never know someone was calling. Mine seems to be a VERY weak vibrate. Cant feel it at all.

Yep, my 6+ is the same way it sounds like there is metal rattling. I took it to Apple and they said that's how it is designe. It's a much larger vibrator than the other phones. Really annoying I hopr I get used to it or the end up replacing the vibrator 😟. My friend has a + and it's not nearly as loud so it makes me think it's not all phones.

I went to the apple store and they replaced my phone. I went right up to the Genius Bar and they replaced it for me. I think they actually blocked out most of the appointments for this weekend so they were clear for things like this. It is definitely a defect in some of the phones. The guy said it could be a bunch of things like a screw missing or something like that but they don't know for sure. I would suggest going in ASAP because I think they are doing replacements easily now so they can start logging all the issues.

Alright I made a second appointment tofsy at 12:20. I will be so angry if they push me away again. Like this sound isn't just because the motor is bigger it sounds like a screw is lose and its rattling against the screen. I hope 1) they acknowledge to replace my phone and 2) that they have phones in stock.

Let us know how it goes.

So I'm the only one with a vibrate that is not very strong? Guess I need to make an appointment.

The vibration on mine mine isn't really that strong when you feel it. But the buzzing noise is extremely loud. I played with some other models of the Plus at the store to compare. Some were a lot better, some were just as bad as mine. I made an appointment for this week to see if I can swap it out but I'm not too optimistic they'll have any replacements available.

Alright guys went to Apple. Spent a combined total of 4 hours over 3 trips there at Arrowhead Mall in Arizona. It took me 3 people to explain what was wrong (they shook the phone and said it was the gyro) before they put it to their ear and listened and said "ohhh that". They had a replacement on hand but they only have full box units - not the iPhone only swaps like they normally have. So, the exchange process was different and that's why it took me 4 hours - they were having technical difficulties. After all of that I still have the same phone - they have to wait until the IT is in tomorrow so they can process th swap. I played around with some display models and some are the same, some are quietER, some are very quiet. My guess is its just luck of the draw. I would honestly wait a few weeks/months until they get more replacements in and maybe Apple will identify the issue and have a fix. I'll tell you mine is wayyyyy annoying I almost want to return the phone.

I prefer it loud. I was always missing calls and alerts on my previous iPhones.

I might be having the same issue, vibration is loud and there is like metal-knocking-sound "tang tang" that kind of sound, almost like a text alert sound. Not sure if this is the issue you guys experiencing?

SSounds like it. Mine sounds like metal is rattling as if my phone was pressed against keys. I have a feeling this is just how iPhones +s are going to be 😟. Seens like every iteration there is stuff wrong eith the phones. Maybe we'll see s future fix. I'll just have to get used to it or turn vibrate off.

I Did speak to Apple again today. they said they should have repair parts by the end of the week and can try replacing the vibe motor for me.

Mine just has a pretty noticably loud "buzz" sound when vibrating. It doesn't really have a knocking sound like the motor is hitting anything. If yours has sounds like the motor is hitting something when it vibrates then I would definitely take it back to Apple.
