iPhone XS Max clicking sound from bottom speaker when answering call

iPhone XS MAX clicking when answering a call. I have already replaced the phone but the second one still does it. As long as the “vibrate” toggle switch is on, the phone clicks at the bottom speaker when answered.


NOTE TO APPLE: Please call an XS Max with vibrate on and listen to bottom speaker closely then answer it. This happens with or without “haptic” toggled on.

iPad Air, iOS 9.2.1, null

Interestingly, when the vibration is set to default “synchronization” and the phone rings, when you look at the phone the ringer volume is lowered do to facial ID but the vibration stops. Whereas on other vibration settings the vibration continues even if you look at the phone. Facial ID does not cause the vibration to stop therefore this may be what is causing the issue and so then it is software related.
