iPhone 7 home button noise

All of the sudden, My home button is starting to make an odd, hollow tinny noise when I press it, almost like an echo inside the phone. Anyone else having this issue?


It's definitely not the intended noise apple added to make it seem more like a button.

iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2

The Taptic Engine is defective, or loose.Take it to an Apple store for repair or replacement. If you have apple care they will replace it. The Taptic engine is not repairable, but can be replaced. Great care must be taken in replacement in iPhone 7 because or the water tight seal.

Hi! I have the same problem. Almost the same problem. After i take the finger from home buton i can hear a noise in my speaker. Im not talking about the vibrating taptik thing. It is a noise in the speaker. It sounds like a click but it is not realy a click. This sound it was not present before 10.3.2 update. Could be something wrong in the update? My phone is new from the box. Today is the third day im using it.

(Iphone7 128gb jet black) Mine is at the same.. spring sound/feeling maybe once/twice a day it's not good enough from such an expensive phone!! Battery life has also deteriorated massively over the 11 months, its as bad now as my iPhone 4s was after 3 an half years...two/three times a day it needs to be charged and it's not even a year old!! APPLE should be replacing the batteries free of charge an sorting out this spring issue in the home button... I had an iPhone 4s before this and to be honest the only difference I ever noticed was naturally the battery (at the beginning not now) bigger screen and the camera!! Will I spend €850 on a new iPhone again?? Not a hope in **** if this is what I'm to expect..
