iPhone 6 buzzing/rattling when vibrating

The one problem I was hoping not to have with my new iPhone 6 was a loud buzzing noise when vibrating. Well, I got it. An ugly internal buzz/rattle noise. It seems to be coming from the lower half of the phone. I had this same problem with my 4s. My 5 was perfect. Had a nice soft and smooth vibrate.

Anyone else having this problem? I mean isn't the point of vibrate to be able to alert you silently? Of the millions of iPhone 6 that were manufactured, did I really have to end up with this one? Sorry, I'm just annoyed. And I know there really isn't anything I can do about it except ask for a replacement.

iPhone 6, iOS 8

I started experiencing this on my 2 month old iPhone 6S Plus (128 GB). The phone has been handled carefully, has been in a case since day one and it has never been dropped. I am returning mine tomorrow.

I made a short video of my problem here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kcf1pwBg9w

I had the same issue on my 6S plus. It started happening after about 3 months of ownership. I went to the Apple store and they did replace it. I hope it does not happen again.

The same is happening with my iPhone 6s Plus bought in October 2016.

I hope they replace my phone, but things in Brazil - where I'm at right now - work in a weird way. If I were in the US it would have already bee replaced.
