iOS 11.2 causes audible, mechanical Taptic feedback

On iPhone X, has anyone else been experiencing a seemingly mechanical sound when invoking a Taptic Engine feedback via, for example, reachability when you swipe back up to put the screen back to the top, or when bringing down control center and then swiping up out of it... my phone will make an audible “click” that sounds like metal to metal contact rather than a quiet haptic feedback before I updated to iOS 11.2. This sound doesn’t happen for scrolling through 3D Touch menus for example, so it’s not happening on ALL haptic feedback scenarios.

I’m going to try and downgrade to 11.1.3 or whatever it was previously and see if the issue goes away. But maybe it’s a new “feature” for iOS 11.2? I dunno ♂

IOS 11.2.5 Beta helps but not 100%. Sometimes it helpends anyway. And you can hear noise in headphones.

Yup. Latest iOS 11.2.5 has seemingly solved the problem. Downloaded it last night and hadn’t even noticed the issues wasn’t there until I got a reply from the community on here.

They just hid this problem. It is 100% hardware issue. Doesn’t look like good attitude to as.

I think problem was with current power on Taptic Engine. Haw can you explain that they switch of vibration during new vibration creation. Or why all my friends don’t have this problems on IOS 11.2.2?
