i hear a rattling noise from my iPhone 5i f I shake it slightly.This is a replaced handset,the previous iphone also had a flaw.The people at apple say that it is normal but there was no such noise in the previous one

I would recommend an Apple Store visit because you should hear nothing when you shake an iphone, they are build with little to no moving parts and more than likely that sound is from a hardware defect.

Iphone 5 makes a rattling noise from day 1, the replacement also makes this similar noise. customer care can provide me with another replacement but can not promise if the new replacement will have this noise or not. can i get a refund ?

my iphone 5 from day one makes a rattling noise when you shake the device.
the replacement i recieved also makes the similar rattling noise, apple calls it a "common problem" and says its the autofocus of the camera which makes the noise, but people i know are not experiencing any such noise in their evices, hence its not their in all the iphone.
honestly investing Rs 45000 in india i dont expect my device to have a stupid defect as this one,
In my latest conversation i have had with a senior representative of apple care iv been given an option to have anpther replacement but they cant promise me that the new replacemnt will have no such rattling noise it might be even worse.
since apple cant promise me a replacement without any such noise and my device is not even 90 days old, and since apple calls it a common problem in iphone5 is it possible that they give me replacement of 5c or 5s and il pay the difference in price or just have a refund ? since they cant provide me with a solution and keeping this device with this defect is not a solution with me.

Sorry if it's over 14 days apple does not refund the device, just sit tight and keep on asking for a device that doesn't rattle, be firm but polite about your position on the matter.
Politeness works wonders

Why do I hear a rattling sound in my iPhone 5 when I lightly shake it ?

Why does my iphone 5 make a rattling noise when I lightly shake it or move it ? It's a faint sound but it's brand new this should not happen?

Every morning at 8:00 am there is a loud page-turning sound from my iPhone 5s. I have no idea what is causing it and it can be quite startling earlhy in the morning if you are alone. Any one have any idea what it could be?

If it goes off at 8am every morning, then you have probably set the alarm without realising it.
Check the alarm and turn it off.

Anyone having crackle or sizzle noise from the iPhone 4S ear speaker?

Anyone else getting a hissing or crackling noise during phone calls? It happens in doors, outdoors, and is independent of hand position. Sounds like electrical noise. This is my second brand new 4S to do it.
Any solutions besides hard and soft resets or restores? Tried that already.

I have chat with apple support chat details below there no solutions from apple for crackling noise
TaneyThanks for contacting AppleCare chat support. My name is Taney. Please give me a moment to look over your information.
Me:hi
Me:am using iPhone 4s receiver crackling noise issue
TaneyHello there!
Me:yes
TaneyUh oh! That's never a fun issue to experience and I'm glad to help you in any way that I possibly can, right here over chat, you're in the right place.
Me:i have replaced more then 4 times
Me:same problem remains
Me:i asking what i have to do
Me:many of apple users experienced same issue and they register complaint in apple site
Me:but no solutions
Me:hello there ?
TaneySo your receiver crackles and you've replaced this iPhone more than 4 times for that same issue, is that what you're meaning? Just wanting to make sure.
Me:yes
TaneyI appreciate your time with me while I research our best next step to take from here. That almost sounds like maybe it's not the hardware or maybe you should get a replacement SIM card. Have you asked your carrier or replaced the SIM card for this issue?
Me:i have replaced 5 different sim cards and different networks but noise coming
TaneyDifferent networks like different carriers?
Me:yes
Taneyin that case it sounds like it's probably related to your region or possibly whoever you are contacting.
TaneyI don't see any previous cases with us here for this iPhone, I wonder if I have the proper device here, unless you're referring to replacing them on your own and not through Apple.
Me:uh oh did you check your apple site many of apple uses post this same issue
Me:uh oh did you check your apple site many of apple users post this same issue
TaneyI don't doubt you're experiencing the issue at all, I totally believe you.
TaneyYou can submit product feedback about this at apple.com/feedback. We have a team here at Apple, who's entire job is dedicated to reviewing this feedback, and escalating it to the proper outlets (such as the engineers for iTunes, iPhone, iPad, etc.), so you can rest assured that your voice will be heard! The more feedback we receive about product features, the more likely we are to implement them!
TaneyIt sounds like you've tried so many things, I'm not sure what might be a different resolution for you and this crackling issue. Different phones, carriers, SIM cards, and probably all amounts of troubleshooting. Would you want to try some things here with me now?
Me:i have already submitted my feedback
TaneyIf you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window) - Helpful article for this.

Me:i have tried all these checking
Me:after this much of issue sill am using iPhone because i loved it
Me:but this silly issue irritating me when on voice call
TaneyThank you. Please allow me just a moment to contact some additional support for us and we may bring them into our chat for some insight.
Taneyit's only on cellular calls or do you experience the issue with anything else? If you toggle to speakerphone, does it continue with the call or become clear?
Me:issue only in ear receiver
Me:there is no issue in headphone or speaker phone
TaneySo if you switch to speaker during a call, there is no crackling noise? That sounds strange. That would normally point to a hardware concern, but that wouldn't make sense considering you've tried several different iPhones and all of the other troubleshooting.
TaneyNot sure, we'll see what our consultant suggests we do from here. Thanks for being so awesomely patient.
TaneyWhat would you like for us to do, as the best goal that you had in mind?
Me:i think this very simple issue for apple, Please fix all your feature product
TaneyIt doesn't sound like the devices are likely to be the reason for what you're experiencing. I wish there was an easier answer but I am reviewing your case with another advisor right now and we'll see what additional information we can find for you.
TaneyIt could even be related to the iPhone 4s.
TaneyUpgrading could be an alternative.
Me:that i dont know
Me:i didnt check any other phone
Me:upgrading means ?
TaneyPerhaps the technologies in your region/s are better suited for a newer iPhone model. I don't want to make promises but I would suggest visiting a carrier location and maybe trying a 5 or above and see if you still experience the issue.
TaneyThey can usually give you some kind of trade or other options for your 4s to get value towards upgrading.
Me:okay but check this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3414732?tstart=0
Me:also this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3414732?start=60&tstart=0
Me:Please give solution for this issue otherwise you loose customers
Me:iPhone 5 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5972811
TaneyI do see those threads. I don't want you to keep experiencing the crackling noise issue anymore. I wouldn't like that on my calls either.
Me:iPhone 6 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6586599
TaneyCan I have you speak with my friend, Joseph?
TaneyI'll bring him over whenever you're ready.
Me:am from india
Me:am ready
TaneyThank you.JosephThanks for contacting AppleCare chat support. My name is Joseph. Please give me a moment to look over your information.
JosephHi there Ponsubbiah!
Me:yes
JosephI understand that you’re having a lot of trouble with your iPhone 4S, even after multiple service replacements there is still trouble with the receiver, a crackling noise that has not been solved yet. Is that correct?
Me:yes you are correct
JosephThat is absolutely terrible to hear, especially after so many service attempts at this, this really is an unfortunate issue.
JosephI am thinking an upgrade could be possible for this, something to consider. Have you had an opportunity to test with newer iPhone models?
Me:last week also i went to apple store for this issue but they said we cannot do any more said sorry simply
JosephThey cannot do anymore service replacements?
Me:are you sure is upgrade is only solutions but what you will say for these posts Me:iPhone
Me:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5972811
JosephIn your experience with the iPhone 4S so far, I think trying a newer model could work better for you, not to say it is the only solution but replacement for you so far has not been successful.
Me:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6586599
JosephHaving a look now
JosephHave you had a chance to use a new model?
Me:am sorry just a month before i have paid for replacement
JosephYou paid for the last replacement? Sorry, I don’t know the full details for your service.
Me:yes
Me:because warranty period is over
JosephMakes sense, this isn’t good though, not for you.
JosephTrying to think about what we could do, have you spoke with our support there in India, by phone?
Me:yes but no use of it
Me:so apple wont fix this issue right?
Me:you people check often apple support communities
JosephIt’s difficult to fix an issue like this, it doesn’t seem to affect all devices, I’ve never seen it affect so many devices in a row.
JosephYes, it is something we monitor closely to keep log of specific problems.
Me:if you do this issue will not repeat your new product
JosephIt isn’t something i’ve experienced personally with my own devices, but i’m trying to understand it. Is it only with certain contacts?
Me:i never expect this from apple, dont know what to say
Me:no for all
JosephCan you describe it for me?
Me:when i am talking with someone in ear speaker stat crackling noise in background if we are in very silent place the noise we can hear clearly
JosephBoth of you can hear it?
Me:no, in my phone only. the same sim card i have used in NOKIA mobile but there no noise in this
JosephDo you use a case on your iPhone's?
Me:yes
Me:okay. any suggestions or solutions?
JosephHonestly, I think at this point, using a different model. One of our newer ones to see if your experience improves would be best.
JosephIt sounds like something is interfering with your conversations, a crackling noise like that isn’t normal at all. Testing without a case could help.
Me:I dont think so again go for apple. If i face same issue in new one then i loose my money. anyway thank you for your reply.
JosephAppreciate you letting us know about the problem, it definitely helps us keep track of them, even for previous models.
JosephIf you have time later please reach out to us by phone and we can see about more options in this.
Me:Thank you Jo. Bye.
JosephPlease take care now

Satellite L650/E08 - I hear small rattling noise

I don't know how to describe it, but I hear this faint "rattling" sort of noise when my laptop (L650/E08) is in use.
I've heard that this is normal, but I'm not so sure.
I don't hear the noise all the time, but I want to make certain if it's nothing to be concerned about.

> I don't hear the noise all the time
Do you hear it only when fan is running? Can you explain this more detailed?
Best thing would be if you record this sound using a microphone but in case its a hardware malfunction you need professional help from an ASP

Rattling noise coming from 5s? HELP!

I've just bought an iPhone 5s and I can hear a rattling noise, I've held all the buttons and the noise seems to have disappeared a bit but I can still hear something else.... Any advise?

Hi,
My iPad 2 3G is making the Same Noise. I figured out, where the noise is coming from.
It's not the SIM Card or tray, it's the mechanism to open the Slot. Put the tool or a paper clip in this little hole and shake your iPad again. The rattling noise will be away.

Clicking noise from back-ups

Since replacing my G5 with a new mac mini I hear frequent clicking noises from the APC Back-UPS that I have it plugged into. The only obvious difference is that the mini has an ungrounded two-prong plug while the G5 had a grounded three-prong plug. The clicking noise consists of two clicks in succession, the second one slightly lower in pitch. This occurs at random intervals but also in response to anything that I'm doing on the computer such as opening or closing an application, resizing a window, visiting or exiting a website, etc. Occassionally it will happen when the computer is asleep in which case I will hear the fan running briefly in the mini although the monitor doesn't wake up. When this happens I will often see the internet activity monitor light flashing on my dsl modem. I don't know if these noises are a sign that something isn't working properly or just an annoyance. In either case I would welcome suggestions on how to stop it as well as any ideas as to what might be causing it. The APC unit provides battery back-up power in the case of a power outage and surge protection. I submitted my question to APC support but got no response. I also talked to someone at AppleCare and he had no idea what was causing this and wasn't even sure if he knew what I was asking about. However lots of people use back-ups units so someone out there must have experienced this phenomena besides me.

I checked that box but wasn't around the sleeping computer long enough to tell if it made a difference. I plugged in a lamp with a dimmer and turned it up and down with no effect. Then I had an idea. I'm going to wait a couple of days before marking this as definitely solved, but here's what happened:
The UPS has three outlets marked "controlled by master." Anything plugged into these gets it's power turned off when the computer is sleeping. I had long ago moved the peripherals to the other outlets because I didn't like having my computer and monitor wake up whenever I turned on the printer just to use the copy function. Near the power button on the UPS is another smaller button with a graphic symbol. If you hold this down for a few seconds it turns off the "master enable" function. After I did this the clicking stopped.
This still leaves some unanswered (though no longer important) questions: Why was this an issue with the mini but not with the G5? Why was I getting clicking noises in response to doing things on the computer even with the usb connection to the UPS disconnected? Why was I also getting them even when the computer was asleep? One possible factor is the usb hub. The old one was on a pci card, while the new one is external with a power cord connected to the UPS. Another factor may be the ungrounded power plug on the mini vs. the grounded one on the G5. At any rate it looks like the problem is solved, at least for now.

Clicking Noise from hard drive_U410

Hi,
I hear regular clicking noise from the new Lenovo u410 (windows 8) hard drive.
How can I fix this?

HI,
I hear constant noticeable noise from hear drive_U410. I have this Ultrabook for almost 2 years. Is it still under warrenty? Any suggestions to fix the noise?
Thanks!!
The noise you are hearing might just be the normal sound of the hard drive. Most hard drives aren't 100% quiet. The link below is for a Seagate article on hard drive noises for your reference......
http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/174571en?language=en_US
Are you experiencing any errors or problems with the hard drive ? Seagate also offers a free SeaTools utility that can be used to check the health of your hard drive. You can download that free tool at the link below.....

As for warranty, the hard drive would be covered under your computer's warranty and that would have expired after 1 year.
As for fixing the noise, the only way to fix the noise would be to replace the hard drive with a new one. Then again the noise you are hearing maybe just the normal sounds of the drive.
As with any hard drive it is always a good idea to have a back up of your important files on another media. Hard drives have been known to fail without notice.
