Screen makes small clicking sound when touched???

sometimes, but not always, my screen on the iPhone 3GS makes a small "clicking" sound when touched. It's not a big deal, but sometimes can be annoying.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I don't want to go to the apple store because I've already done 3 replacements for other reason and want to avoid another. what could be wrong and causing the "clicking" I noticed if I put pressure on the frame, basically squeeze it, the clicking goes away. either something is rubbing or loose.
Anybody else ever experience this? Is there a way to fix it?

I believe that the safest option would be to go to the Apple store...
I understand that it is not great to replace the phone again ....restoring from backup takes forever

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Hindge makes a clicking sound when I press down

    If I press down on the right side of the hindge, it makes a clicking sound. Is this normal? My 1 year warranty expires in April so I want to get his fixed if it's an issue.
    thanks.

    It is not normal.  dominic23 is correct, have it looked at.  There exists the possibility there may be future problems in the display connection.  (much annoyance, grief and frustration not to mention monetary outlay.)

  • Ipod makes clicking sound when turning on and tells me to go to supposrt

    My older Ipod makes a clicking sound when I turn it on and tells me to go to the support website. Any ideas what the problem is? I don't know what generation it is or what ISO what ever that is, I use. It was bought for my son many years ago and he has moved on to the newer ones,lol. I do know it is bulkly and heavy,

    It probably needs service as it's indicative of a hard drive problem.
    What does this picture on my iPod mean?

    when i touch my iphone 5s home button it makes a small click sound before pressing completely.Is it normal ?

    Mine does this too. I know EXACTLY what you mean. If you push lightly (not actually depressing the button) it makes a higher pitched "click". Like the saphire is getting caught up on the ring surrounding the saphire layer. Any input Apple???
    My wifes 5S hasn't started this yet. Wondering what the issue is here? I have notices other threads with the same issues.

  • When plugged into computer a song started skipping, pressed pause but ipod sounds makes a clicking sound. Eventually goes to black screen with red cross. Cannot reset it and doesn't register on my computer.

    I had my iPod plugged into my computer and was playing the songs from there. One song started skipping so I pressed the pause button, the ipod kept making a clicking sound like it was still struggling to play the song, eventually went to a black screen with a red cross with apple.com/support/ipod underneath. Have tried to reset it but does not work, comes up with apple logo and immediately makes the clicking sound and then crashes.
    Is there anyway I can get my music and photos off?? I just got a new computer and had lost everything on my old one so only have the songs and photos on my ipod, desperately want to get them on to my computer.

    You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.

  • Front of iPhone4 makes clicking sound when I press it? Can it be fixed?

    The screen of my iPhone 4 has started making a clicking sound when I press on the front during normal use. Can this be fixed easily?

    Since you are still in the warranty period, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have it checked.  The clicks are not loud, but should be audible.

  • My iphone is making clicking sounds when I try to slide it or tap on an app.  I can not make phone calls.

    I hit something on my Iphone to make it start talking.  I also was not able to slide the screen up or down right or left.  I looked around on the web and found out how to stop it from talking,  Now it is making clicking sounds when I tap on an app.  The screen will still not slide. I have to tap on an app about 5 or six times to make it do anything.  Now I can't make a phone call because the keys will not respond when I tap on them.

    i am sorry to say but there is no way to undo a software update to go back you have to go threw your phone provider and have then do a replacement on the phone and just not do the update. when they receive the phone they will send it off for testing and to have the bugs fixed

    You should take it to an Apple store or an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) Carefully inspect the hinge joint and make sure there is no debris that you can see, you can try carefully sliding some sticky tape thru the joint to clear any loose stuff out. But this sounds like there might be more going on here, and the hinge is something that you do not want to fool with.
