iPhone 7 home button noise

No problems with the new one! Working perfect. Don't hear a spring sound either. My problem wasn't that at all. Now, you can hear the sound coming from the bottom speaker that sounds like the old button. To me, sounds exactly the way it should. No springy sound.

I have the exact same problem. I've soft reset my phone, hard reset it, and nothing has came to fix it. Sometimes when I click the home button, there's a haptic misfire. The vibration feels different and it sounds like a metal noise inside. It happens at random, sometimes multiple times in a row. I'm very OCD and this is a big problem to me. I know the phone shouldn't be making this noise. Has anyone contacted the apple store about it? I'm afraid that down the line this will lead to larger problems, but I will try to take it to the apple store as soon as I can.

Yea, I had a plus that was doing this and had to finally exchange it for a new one. It's definitely a defect, I have verified that and is not normal. My new one hasn't had one issue with this. But, I'm also cursed with OCD. I will find something wrong with anything and have already found a new defect in my brand new iPhone that's not related. At the end of the day, I wouldn't swap it for a new on because of the haptic misfires. Since you know that other people do experience the same thing, and it is soooo unlikely this will be an actual problem. I finally just started saying, as long as the thing can accomplish the task needed, who cares if it's a little different than other ones. I honestly wouldn't worry about it, being one that swapped it out and found something else that bothers me even more! haha! Hope this helps!

What do you mean by recycled the power of your phone?

And as a question to everyone else: Mine has the same problem? Should I take to Apple or the place I bought it or something? It annoys me soo badly, also because you pay so much money for a device, and for me, it is very important that everything then works perfectly.

I've been having the exact same problem, took it to apple a couple days ago and showed them the springy sounds...they said it could be the screen and processor itself, so they could replace it for me..

I didn't have time to wait for them to fix it, so was going to go in today, however it stopped last night! Phone ran out of battery and turned completely off, I waited about 30 mins (not on purpose) before I charged it to full battery again and the noises have completely stopped! I'm going to wait a few days to see if this fixed the problem before going back to apple to complete my repair...

I have had my iPhone 7 plus for 8 months now, and it has started doing exactly what you described.

A high, bright noise, as if an internal part were loose, causing a "tinny" sound with each depression. "Cling-clack".

A soft restart fixed it for me, but I get the feeling this problem will resurface...

Thank you for first articulating the issue.

Have had my 7 Plus for ~7 months. Just this week the home button behavior changed to the hollow, tinny response when pushed. I read this thread and did a soft restart. It seems to have fixed the issue, and so far the problem has not resurfaced. If you haven't tried that yet, it's a good first step.

I forgot to mention that the sound has a small delay after i take the finger from the home button. Half of a second or less and then "click!" It reminds me of the sound of old phones left near a speaker.

Hi. I was at an Apple service and for me the solution was to remove the tempered glass protection. It was nothing wrong with my phone or with the update to 10.3.2 or the home button. If you have a protective foil remove it and that sound will diseappear! When you look at it you cant see it but the foil is blocking that button to function properly and it makes that "click" noise. Now with the protective foil removed everything works perfect for me. No noise!

Well my iPhone is making that springy noise for all three settings. I just had the phone for approximately two weeks and it's having this issue. To be honest I'm an OCD person however I'm only 16 and just brought the phone which costed £700. And for that I expect no problems what so ever. I'm just clueless for what shall I do. Will they replace it??

My 7 plus does it random, sometimes 2 3 times in a row, sometimes 1 or 2 days without doing it.

Noticed that after a hard reset doesn't do that for a while. That's annoying, in Italy they would never replace or repair it for something that maybe when I'm there it doesn't show up!

If it does it random may it be a software problem?

(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..

I thought I was the only one with that problem! Whenever I pressed my home button it made this weird loud, almost hollowed noise. I tried resetting, and even changing my home button settings, but it still made the noise. Less than a month ago I went into the Apple Store and reported the problem, they said there were some loose screws and were signs of water damage. They offered to fix it for free and it stopped after that. But I noticed yesterday that all of a sudden it started to make the noise again. I am heading into the Apple Store to report it once more. Hopefully I can get a replacement so the sound doesn't keep coming back. I will give you an update as soon as I come back from the store today.

Update: I went into Apple and they said they didn’t know what was going on with my phone, but that it was a hardware issue. They told me to call over the phone for a replacement since they were all out of the iPhone 7 Plus Rose Gold in 32 gigs. I called and the service went smoothly and I will be getting a replacement in 3-5 days

Mine was actually do to casting with the Apple TV. Once I reconnected and then disconnected, it was good. It seems to happen to me if I cast and leave the house or turn off without stopping the cast.
