IPhone 4s sounds like something is loose when it vibrates?
Ok well I have the iPhone 4s. When it vibrates, I can hear some buzzing noise that sounds like something is loose. When I put pressure on the bottom right corner of the phone, it doesn't make the buzzing noise. I've read a few things online about other people having the same problem. I guess it's due to a new vibration system? I dunno. It's not the worst possible defect. The buzzing isn't too loud, but it is annoying and obnoxious. Anyone else having this issue?
Same problem here. I wish there was a way to merge the similar posts about the 4S rattle problem so Apple can see that it is an issue. So far I've dealt with 4 Apple employees for this issue. The first, an in-store Genius, told me that since his phone also has the rattle it must be normal. The second was phone support. She told me that I was the first person to bring this issue to her attention and it definitely isn't right. She suggested I go to my local Apple store and ask for a replacement. I did, so now my third Apple person was a Genius. He again told me that even though he could hear the problem it sounded normal to him. I called Apple support again (employee number 4). Again they said that I was the first person to call with the problem. She started to suggest a restore but stopped herself cause I think she realized how dumb that was about to sound. In the end she basically said to deal with it and call back if it gets worse.
Awesome job on this one Apple. Please officially acknowledge the problem so your employees can get on the same page.

HELP---hardware issue, sounds like something is loose
Ok so I just got my ipod video in the mail today...I was pretty excited...then as I was taking a walk I moved it and it sounded and felt like something is loose inside, not something small either. And I kept shaking it and it doesnt happen every time but every so often it feels like something moves inside...does anyone have a clue why this would happen and what it might be?????
Im also OCD with things like this but...the screen also seems to have two tiny holes, like when the videos play theres little spots where it doesnt show up but thats probably common...I mean they are very very small but like I said, Im OCD...its the first problem Im more worried about....Yes, there is much more sound from the harddisc operation in the 5g iPod than on the on the previous models. Should be no need to send it back. for a new one.

Hi zaynililouhar12,
If you are having an issue with the sound quality from your iPhone speaker, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

everytime i connect the earbuds to talk on phone it sounds like a loud speaker on earbuds. it has a lot of echo. does anyone know how to fix this?
Is yours 4s? Have you recently updated to 6.1 or 6.1.2?
Looks like apple is kiding with us. Ive had this problem since Ios 6.1 and now after 3 days I ulgraded to 6.1.2 this ****** issue has returned. Again the other part will listen me if I scream HELLOOo in the first second and then everything works fine or if I wait 1 minute but none can wait that.
Im really angry with this company always they mess up after each update -
When I shake my iPhone or walking with it, I can hear that the iPhone are sounds like something or parts inside the phone are moving, or maybe not on the fixed position at all.
I did the research on Internet, and meet a friend in NZ who had same problem at there, then apple replace a new iPhone 5to him during the sounds.
How can I know my iPhone 5 are broken or just normal?1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -
Sounds like somthings loose when it vibrates
i have just brought an iphone 4s and when it vibrates it sounds like something is loose. tried taking it back and they are now saying its water damaged and wont refund me and help with this problem would be much apreciated
I believe you're referring to this thread: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1541784
I do believe the rattle is coming from the autofocus system. If you look at the lens itself while it is focusing, you can see that the part actually moves. That being said, I assume that this part also moves when the device is shaken or put down. -
I have an iPhone 5 and when i lightly tap on the back top part of my phone it sounds like something is rattling inside. Only on the top part of the phone, not on the bottom. I am wondering if anyone knows what this may be and should i have it looked at?
Definitlely have it looked at. That could be a hardware deffect on the maker(apple) so there could be a definite replacement option.

My iPhone sounds as if something is loose when I tap thr back is this ok
My iPhone sounds as if something is loose when I tap thr back is this ok
If the rattle sound is loudest if you tap gently near the back camera (lens), this is normal with the iPhone 4S.

HT4859 when iam talking on my iphone 5 sounds like talking under water can u help
when iam talking on my iphone 5 sounds like talking under water can u help sometime cant here other person
I would have your carrier check out the iPhone. But I have had this issue with other cell phones and beleive it to be related to how good of a connection your have to the cell tower.

My phone sounds like its breaking up when I call.
Then when the other person answers all I hear is my voice echoing and all they hear is static
Same happens when they call me.
Data over the phone - to Vodaphone - is fine. I can browse. With or without wifi.
My speaker and mic work fine.I think the fault just developed out of the blue. I called somebody left the phone on the table downstairs the person tried to call me back 11 times and I never heard them. When I tried to call later in the day the phone had an error.
When try to phone my iPhone from the land line the ring tone is perfect but I get the same problem with my iphone just echoing my voice and nothing else - and the landline having loud static and nothing else. -
The voice of everyone i speak to on my 2 month old iphone 4s sounds like a robot,do i need a new phone.
Try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

G510g sounds like a machine gun when it cycles
G510g sounds like a machine gun when it cycles. Can't see anything jammed in the printer. Seems to be behind the ink cartridges.
Prints just fine and doesn't make the noise when printing only when the cartridges cycle and stopHi csterlin,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
When the printer makes the loud noise like a machine gun or the grinding noise, this is usually caused by one of two things. Either you have very small piece of paper caught under the carriage or it is due to a power issue.
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
