iPad Air 2 sound vibration

i just got my iPad Air 2 and the speaker vibrates whenever I play video or music even at low volume. Is this a common problem?

This is my first iPad and I'm not impressed. Display uniformity issues (bluish on right side, yellowish on left), severe vibration while playing music/video even on low volume, and as mentioned above, an odd warping effect when I hold it certain ways. $760 CAD....

I Want to chime in (pun intended). I got the iPad Air 2 in Space Gray. The first thing I noticed was the sound from the internal speakers was way tinnier than the Air. I play one game way too much and there is music and sound effects that just sounded way worse. Then I started to notice an electrical feeling while using my fingers to play the game. I deduced it was a vibration. Sigh. Today I decided to Google it and found this thread. I already traded in an old iPad 3 and handed down my Air to mom. I'm going to wait it out and claim it under warranty, when Apple eventually acknowledges it and fixes it.

I don't think it's necessarily a defect so much as a result of it being so thin. I understand why thinner is a goal but now it seems to be at the expense of user experience (not to mention fragility of the product, battery). It's an amazing tablet in many ways I just hope my replacement is better.

Given, I've had an iPad 1, iPad 3 and iPad Air and nothing like this has ever happened before. It's a defect. How this obvious problem got past beta is beyond me and someone should be fired.

One should never expect an Apple product to be this much worse than a previous generation. At these prices it's the least to expect is equivalency.

You reply this in every single thread I've read, have you even used it? Seems like you have an iPad Air and want to convince everyone not to upgrade cause you can't afford to or something.

I'm loyal costumer for Apple and all my stuff from Apple and recently l have had my new iPad Air 2 were so exciting to have it but after one hour of using i noticed while playing music the whole tablet vibrates! seems to be not normal to me as i still have the Air 1 so i went to Apple store to check the devices if it's normal but unfortunately mine was definitely different so i retuned back to Best Buy and had them retuned it.
