Phone makes buzzing sounds when on phone.

I've noticed that my phone makes a buzzing/clicking sound in the ear piece when i take or receive calls. At first it sounded like i was near a speaker, phones cause the speaker to buzz when on it, but it was coming from the ear piece, so it was really strange. Then i started to hold down the black part on the back of the phone and the noise completely stopped. After testing it a few times i realized it is the black part on the back of the phone that is clicking when im on the phone and for some reason its makes a clicking in the ear piece. If i hold down the black part on the back, when im on the phone there is no clicking sound in the ear piece. Any one else have this problem and better yet, have a solution? Maybe get a case for it or something?

Try this tip with foil once just to see if it stops it. If it works, you can put the iPhone in a case and no one will see the tape.

  • IPod makes buzzing sound when charging

    Hello,
    When I connect my iPod touch 5g to either a wall charger or to my computer it makes a buzzing sound, like static. Sometimes it is brief other times it won't stop unless I shutdown the iPod. Why is this happening?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ipod nano 1st gen 2gb will not charge makes buzzing sound when plugged u

    this *** this is my 3rd ipod and i really want to know windows says usb plugged up thing not recongnized and has malfunctioed in the past i would slap my ipod and it would work this ***!!!!

    Wrong term, perhaps, but I did finally drain it to the low battery warning. When reattached to the ac adapter, it will sleep when the play button is held down, or when sleep is selected from the main menu. After 1hr charge, I detached it and tried to do the same and it would not work.
    I reattached it to the charger, and will let it finish charging. Sleep works again after I hook it back up - it's weird that it won't do it on it's own, though.

  • After a successful home button repair, I've got a buzzing sound when I make or receive calls. No problem with the speaker as I can listen to online radio stations and my music.

    After a successful home button repair on my iPhone 4, I've got a buzzing sound when I make or receive calls. No problem with the speaker as I can listen to online radio stations and my music.

    I guess your definition of a "successful repair" is different from most people's.
    If you got it serviced by Apple, take it back to them.
    If you had it serviced by a 3rd party, Apple won't touch it. Take it back to whoeever fixed it for you.

    You have to jailbreak your phone to do this, voiding all warranty & support. Just flip the Ring/Silent switch when you send.

  • My iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when receiving a text message

    for some reason since yesterday, my Iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when I receive a normal or Imessage text message.
    I double checked that vibration works in general and it does. so does the sound file for the Text tone.
    My ringer works fine as well as vibration for incoming calls but nothing works with a normal text message (even whatsapp works fine).
    I have no idea what could be the issue here.
    Any ideas?

    - Unmute your phone
    - Set your Ringtone to default
    - Adjust your volume
    - If you're on iOS6 - DO NOT DISTURB feature turn it OFF
    Try again

  • Buzzing sound when plugging in guitars

    I've been getting this buzzing sound when I plug in any electric guitar or bass into my computer's audio input. This used to happen only when I used my telecaster, and I figured it was just the make, but now it's happening with my other electric and to basses to... it also varies in volume depending on the day.

    Buzzing and hum can be caused by a lot of things. Your tele was probably getting the buzz from a single coil pickup.
    First make sure it's not your guitar cable, it's a long wire just like a antenna and can pickup stray noises from RF and electromagnetic devices.
    Bad ground in your guitar or bad solder joint guitar or cable.
    Move things around lights, speakers, TVs, computers and just about anything electrical can cause noise.

  • Buzzing sound when charging my ipad

    My iPad Mini makes a buzzing sound when charging. What should I do?

    that is not normal.  If you are a very aggresive listener - and hear things that other prople don't - ignore the buzz.  If it is noticable to others as well, take it in for a diagnosis.

  • My speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up

    my speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    3. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    4. Reset the NVRAM.
    5. Reset the SMC.
    6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
