iPhone 6 buzzing/rattling when vibrating

I actually have an iPhone 6S running iOS 10, but I've always had he same problem. I noticed that the sound was actually coming from somewhere near the earpiece, and when I hole the earpiece down during vibrations, the sound stops.

I too have this issue. It's not just rattling on a hard surface, the rattle comes from the phone case itself. From the lower right corner (where the motor is).

I have an annoyingly loud vibration motor on my Plus also. Tried other models in the store and some were quieter while others were just as bad as mine.

Sadly, I've got the same problem.. :-/

If I hold down the lower right (or left) end of the phone, it's gone, but without holding it, it sounds horrible.

I guess we just were unlucky and have to return our phones to Apple...

I have the same problem. Horrible sound when the phone vibrates. It does not happen *all* the time, but most of the time. Is there a fix to this? Will this be covered under the 1-year warranty?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.0.2

I have this exact same problem. The vibration is so strong it vibrates the front glass and the front glass makes a terrible noise. If you press the bottom part of the front glass with a thumb finger the buzzing stops and the vibration sound returns to normal.

On top of all this, I wanted to return this defective iphone6 to the Starhub store in Singapore where I got it from, but the store has refused to replace or accept a return for this product.
I don't really know what to do about this. I usually had very positive experiences with Apple in the past and I am an avid Apple user with several Mac gear at home but this incident really got to my nerves. I really need some advice from Apple staff please. Thank you.

I took mine in, they listened to it and promptly got me a new phone. No sweat.

same problem here in Singapore. To reproduce the rattling sound,

1. press the home button just a bit harder

2. don't hold the lower half of the phone

3. toggle to silence mode via the switch

I'm getting this problem too.

I just have got my iphone 6 yesterday and I just found out this problem today. This is so annoying.

I'm aware that if I bring my phone to service center and report it , they will give me a replacement.
But to be honest, I don't want to exchange my brand new phone with a refurbished phone which will be given for replacement.

Sighh..... Is there any fix without going to service center? 😟

Had the same problem, I took in my phone to Genius Bar to have them take a look and they told me it was a loose vibrate motor. Instead of giving me a replacement they took my phone and fixed the problem. Now my phone is fix with no rattling buzzing and no cost because of the 90 day manufacturing warranty.

I have the same problem, terribly rattling when vibrating, seems like the motor is loose inside, very annoying!

So what do I have to tell them when I go there. I just want them to fix this issue and not replace it. It feels like a motor is running non stop. I can feel the rattling/vibration easily. Please let me know?

Thank you

I have same issue... the phone doesn't actually vibrate. It's like the vibration motor is stuffed. Happened on my 4 I think it was. Sometimes it makes a loud motor sound, sometimes a short one, sometimes nothing at all. No vibration, no sound...

Has anyone in Australia had this problem being a Telstra customer, and have they replaced it directly or sent it away, leaving you with a 'loan phone' or nothing? My understanding is, if it's under the 1 year warranty they should just give you a new phone then and there.

Anyone with any info?

Cheers

SAme proplem on my new iphone 6 only

I have the same issue. Problem is am in Thailand, and the staff at the shop where I bought the phone is totally unresponsive. Iphone 6 makes a loud rattle sound when vibrating. Disappointed.
