Every now and then, when opening an app or using the system buttons at the bottom, a very short "click" noise comes from the speaker. I have my N4 on silent/vibrate all the time and it is not an operating system noise that's meant to be there because its random. The best way to describe it is that it seems like the phone is "accidentally" starting to play a sound then stopping because its realised its in silent mode.
Anyone else getting this? Views on this problem?
(It happened again as I was typing this, so it happens through the the keyboard key presses as well)

Media Volume
Maybe you have to turn down the media volume.
I don't have a nexus 4, but I do get that random click noise on my incredible s as well, and from many different roms. I am not sure what it is, though.
Key press noise in settings turn it off may stop it the Gnex had this issue and still does

I get that click noise occasionally on my HTC HD2.
Running PACMAN 4.1.2 Jellybean at the moment.
I had this issue as well. I just turned off touch sounds and all is well.
I should note that I have keyboard sounds enabled and I do not experience the random clicking noise.
It seems to be isolated to the enabling of touch sounds, whether on vibrate or any audible volume.

Could it possibly be the autofocus that people are taking about?

It does sound like that . mine sounds loose when I tap that back glass everything seems to be working OK and not sure if I'll let it bug me just yet

I have the autofocus rattle issue as well. But I rarely if ever would shake my phone like that.
At this point I am just grateful that I got my phone, let alone got my phone earlier than projected. There are a lot of people that would love to hear the rattling of the autofocus on their N4.

Power Management
Ok... I think this is correct,
The audio chip like most other IC's are entering power saving mode milliseconds after you hear any audio so the small click is the powering up and down of the audio hardware... Many phones do this and many people don't notice it.
It's quite normal but if you have very good hearing it might bother some more then others.

It seems like a touch sound issue.
Make sure you've got touch sounds turned off by going:
Settings > Sound > Touch Sounds (disable the checkbox)

I have this weird buzz noise when I open an app or navigate through my phone I click anything. I rooted my phone when I first got it and it was happening on the rom. So I switched to aokp and still had the same problem. Then, I flashed to stock as I bought it and still has the same problem. Could this be a hardware issue? I was thinking to call google play to see what they would do?

Anyone have any similar issues?
I've had a similar problem where tapping the screen creates an audible "click" sound. At first I thought it was the speaker popping, but then I noticed it happening while the volume was down.
It doesn't happen on every touch, but it happens enough to be noticeable.

Exactly the same problem as me. My dad n4 does do it. But if I put the ear piece to my ear, I hear a faint buzzing noise also. Did you call Google about it?

Hi, I don't really know where to post this but does anybody have any hardware issues with their Nexus 4? Whenever I apply a bit of force above the volume rocker (under the chrome part) it makes a small clicking sound. I don't know if it's nothing or if it might get worse over time.

I guess the problem is of the silly packing of chipset and stuffs inside... many users have observed the rattling too
I guess it wont create a problem as such ... just stop applying force ... LOL or else it can create a crater inside !
I've heard a lot about a buzzing noise coming from the earpiece, but whenever i plug in my headphones it makes a really annoying buzzing noise. I'm running AOKP Build 1 with Franco #28 kernel and the beats audio mod. I'm also using original Apple earphones. Any thoughts on how to fix this without flashing AOKP from scratch again? Thanks!

I recall someone else saying Bluetooth being on can cause problems. If it's on try turning it off.
Otherwise I don't know, mines OK with skull candies.

Same here ...... It has something to do with the radio modem as when I was on 4.2.2 with older boot loader this did not happen but after I switched to the newer radio modem the buzzing started and man its annoying! Anyone's got any solution?

Is it like a actual buzzzzzzzz sound or a rapid click click click sound? If it's actually a click noise, it is the proximity sensor, and you have some other app constantly running it. If it's a buzz, are you running a custom kernel? Do you usually crank up the volume? Have you messed with headset gain?
I have the same problem. not rooted
and its not buzzing.its more like rapid clicking, but I don't think I have any apps that use the proximity sensor. idk what to do fam

What the f has the kernel to do with this buzzing noise? This is one of the stupidest suggestions I read in my entire life.
The noise is hardware related. You can't fix it with software.
Guys, you have to accept that the Nexus 4 ist a cheap built smartphone with a LOT of problems, and I am not talking about the bad camera or the bad display in general.
I am talking about the huge and small bugs, for example.:
- noise in earspeaker
- buzzing noise with headphones
- heat-problems (YES, the N4 actually HAS heat-problems)
- Sleep of Death (LED and sound is working, but screen is black -> restart with Power+Volume)
- not-responsive screen when unlocking/not able to answer a call because of this
- dark line on the left side of the screen (especially on grey backgrounds)
- (maybe I am the only one with this problem, but this happens very often) when I am trying to unlock the ring, the status-bar slides down
- WiFi and GPS problems
- and more
Sure, the N4 was really cheap in its price and the problems testify that this phone is cheap.
The parts they used are cheap (e.g. DA-converters, display (don't tell me that it is possible to adjust the screen colors), speakers, cameras, microphone etc.). Maybe also the engineers who built the N4 were cheap.
Before I bought the N4 I had a Nexus S. It was WAY better than the N4 in many points.
I always recommended the Nexus line to my family and friends. But after using the N4 for long enough I will never recommend it again.
It's a piece of crap with a well-meant OS and causes headaches.
Is anyone else having a weird hollow spring noise coming from their phone? Its audible when tapping the screen. Did i get a lemon or is this normal, it has been driving me insane.

This is normal, this is a mechanical component inside the phone that make the springy vibration when you enable vibrate on touch etc. So when you tab it, it make that springy sound, perfectly normal.
Hi there
First some specs:
Nexus 4
PA3.99-RC2
Franco.kernel.plus 188.
SuperSU root
Latest gapps
I have tried asking in the the Paranoid Android Google+ discussion forum, but no useful answers yet. This is x-posted in general Q&A forum as well, to see if other devices also have this.
The problem:
When I use my phone I get random glitchy/clicky sounds from the top speaker (I'm pretty sure it's from there). It's a very quick glitch/click, and then it stops. It doesn't happen in a specific pattern, meaning that it's not like it comes whenever I press the back button or anything - it just happens sometimes. Sometimes more often than other. When I try to recreate the sounds (tapping a lot of menus, settings, apps, etc.) I find it difficult to recreate. It is REALLY random, perhaps mostly after I haven't used my phone for a while, and I turn it on!
Have anyone tried this, and knows a solution? It didn't annoy me at first, but now it really does.
As far as I remember it started when I upgraded to PA3.99. However, I have tried RC-1 and RC-2 and I have also tried stock kernel, Hellscore kernel and different Franco-kernel versions.

Just like you, I've noticed the noise but it sounds to me like its coming from the loud speaker. It doesn't happen that often and its hard to reproduce the sound (like you said). By the way I'm complete stock/unrooted with a lock bootloader. Hopefully its a software glitch and not hardware since the speakers don't sound busted.

Okay, it sounds like it could be the same thing. I don't think my speakers are busted either.. I guess the sound would come more often if that was the case.
It could be from the loud speaker.. Because it's so hard to reproduce, I can't really test it.
I would just love for it to go away.
Unfortunately I've never tested this phone with any other ROM other than 4.3 (Jwr66y) so I don't even know if it's a software glitch. Hopefully it is though.

Since we're experiencing what seems to be the same thing; I would think it most likely is a software thing. But I don't understand why - and why there isn't more people reporting this.....which makes me think I've done something wrong, hence the cry for help
Maybe some people don't notice it. It's not that much noticeable. The first few times I heard it I thought I was hearing things.
