Iphone rattling noise.

I got my iPhone 3GS delivered to my door on June 19. I put a case on it right away and have never dropped it. I recently noticed a rattling noise when i shook my iphone to shuffle my songs. I held all the buttons in place because i figured it was one of them, but it still rattled, so it must be internal. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if apple would be able to replace it for a non-rattling iphone.

my rattling noise is the sleep wake button at the top of the phone. and a little of the silent switch....is the sleep wake button at the top suspose to rattle? and it is also wiggly.
please help

  • 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.

  • I hear a rattling noise from my iPhone 5i f I shake it slightly.

    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.

  • Make a rattling noise near the camera

    Make a rattling noise near the camera. Is it normal?

    There is nothing inside the iPhone that is helped by shaking.  In the iPhone you may here the camera focusing and making a sound like a rattle.  You may also have a loose part that you hear when shaking.
    If concerned, take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians check it for you.
    At any rate, shking will not make your iPhone any better so is not a good thing to be doing.

  • 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.

  • Rattling Noise Inside iPod Touch 5

    I recently got an iPod Touch 5, and I notice sometimes that when the device gets thumped or shaken, I can hear a faint rattling noise. I suspect that this is the gyro. Is this something i should be worried about? The device works perfectly. I just dont expect to hear rattling from an iPod touch. Thanks!

    On the 5G iPod and iPhone 5 the rear camera lens moves to focus and is lightly suspended so it can move. The noise you hear may be the lens moving. It is normal and expected.
    If concerned, Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • MBP fan rattle noise.

    Since I last visited the site has had a revamp but I can't seem to find how to search the forum?
    Anyhow I have a problem with my MBP in which I can hear the right fan making a 'rub/click' type rattle noise. It isn't very high RPM perhaps 200-300 RPM judging by per second rate.
    When I hold the MBP and tilt the base to different angles the sound varies from clicks to rubs.
    I've already had the left fan repaired last year and it appears the same problem is now affecting the right fan.
    It sounds like a little air compressor is working and its at a barely tolerable threshold. Problem is I'm sick of taking this machine in. It's had a total of 6 repairs now and I'm pretty sick of it.
    Any suggestions? And how do I search the discussions?

    It does sound like the other fan's gone, my right fan went a week after the left one ...

  • Loud clicking/rattling noise every 5 seconds

    My MacBook Air makes a loud clicking or rattling noise exactly every 5 seconds. It originates from the bottom of the MacBook, approximately somewhere behind the "P" key. The noise sounds just like a broken clicking hard drive except that I have the SOLID STATE DRIVE MacBook! I'm thinking it might be a fan issue. What is causing this noise and how do I fix it?
    The noise is very loud, in the video below you can listen to it if you turn up your volume.

    Can I bring the MacBook Air to an Apple store, and can they fix it on the spot by swapping out the broken fan or whatever it is?

    I had the exact same problem; my new MBA made the noise right out of the box. Sounded like it was snoring. Rather discouraging, this being my very first mac. BUT, I think I fixed it.
    I downloaded istat, and noticed that the exhaust fan RPM was 0. So, the problem seemed to be that the fan was "stuck." And, I know this sounds awful and wrong, but I gave my machine a sharp little rap just under the power key, to the right of the delete/slash/return keys. Just a soft knock, using the section of my index finger I'd use to show a child how long an inch is. The snoring went away immediately, and the fan speed went up to roughly 2490rpm.
    Seems like a stupid manufacturing glitch, which I REALLY don't feel like dealing with after dropping a few thousand on this machine. But the fix was easy enough.

  • There is a rattling noise at the top of my iphone5.do anyone have a suggestion to fix this issue.?

    Please help me to fix this issue as i cant adjust with this rattling noise at the top when i share my phone

    We're talking about the shortcuts you can add to the top of a Finder window, which occasionally get unlinked and turn into question marks. What are you talking about?

  • N8 - Rattling noise when listening with headphones

    Just got my N8 but unfortunately noticed a slight but annoying rattling noise when listening to music via earphones. It's most noticeable at the start and the end of songs as well as in quieter passages.
    Anyone else noticed this? If this is a known issue and fixable via firmware update I won't bother but I'm afraid it's hardware related. Already tried different headphones and reset the device but that didn't help.
    Is there anything else I can do that might fix the problem? Thanks!

    hi,i'm Hafiz from Malaysia.i'm having EXACTLY the same prob with my new N8's earphone.it's so frustrating that the controller of my earphone unit,is not working at all! The moment i connect the earphone to my lovely N8, the only projected sound appears is full with distortion,incomplete like voice cancellation function is on, and not entertaining at all. I ENABLE THE LOUDNESS AND STEREO WIDENING FUNCTIONS, then it sounds better but the quality is far behind than my previous N70, N73 and N95. To make it even worse, all buttons are NOt functiining at all - volume, fast/rewind, stop etc. I even take off and reconnect the earphone thousand times but it fails to function as what its supposed to be. I went to the outlet where i bought this remarkable hp,unfortunately it was hopeless. The retailer even reformatted my phone's C drive, it failed to overcome my earphone issue. The retailer tried to use and replace with a new earphone set,again it was a failure. Other than that,my N8 functions as what have been promoted. I tried with other earphones and the result was just the same, POOR SOUND QUALITY! Please settle this SIMPLE prob a.s.a.p as it really makes feel uncomfortable and sad of getting 'incomplete' set of N8.
