Hi, just got my Note 3 and it is a wonderful device. However, a little issue on the vibration is bugging me at the moment. When I set the vibration intensity at the highest level, there is a slight rattling / out of the ordinary sound for the first 0.5 to 1 second of the vibration. Subsequent vibrations sound normal. No issues at the other lower vibration intensity level. Just wanna find out whether others have the same problem or my phone is defective.
Yep, the same here. I don't consider this as an issue though.

Thanks. I'm ok wif it too, just worried something inside is loose.
is it an issue.. is not normal for a new device. got mine replaced and no more sound when is set to highest
I am having the issue described as well and am curious about how widespread it is. So far in this thread two users report experiencing it, while one says that a replacement device does not exhibit the same behaviour. Adding myself into the mix that makes it 3-to-1 noticing the slight brief buzz at the beginning of the vibration, when set to the highest intensity. It's an even bigger issue when using a multiple quick-repeating vibration, as the little rattle/buzz sound will happen at the beginning of each individual pulse. A small issue maybe, but an irritating one.
Can anyone else confirm either definitely having, or not having this issue?
To test it, it's easiest to go to Vibration Intensity under settings, and flip the slider back and forth between the highest, and second highest levels, to see if you notice a difference. In my case, it sometimes won't happen depending on how/tightly I'm gripping the phone. Most often it will though.
Has anyone with this minor issue managed to find a fix for it?
I have just bought 2 note 3, the first one was a French version which had the rattle, I returned it and got a new one, this time the one they had in the store was the Portuguese version, and guess what, same thing.
both were sealed and brand new, I really want to keep the phone but this is very annoying... (the rattling is an issue for me)

So far only one person in this thread has reported not having the issue, and that with a replacement for one that presumably did. I'd love to know how widespread the issue is as it seems quite common from the posts here, but there's really no way to know with so few responders.
The rattle doesn't seem to be from something actually loose inside, since on the long vibration (incoming phone call) the buzz sound only lasts for the first tenth of a second, of the two-second or so total duration. A loose piece would keep rattling the whole time, so it seems more related to the vibration motor itself starting up. Also, clamping my hand around the both phone edges semi-tightly seems to prevent the buzz, so it could be interaction between the motor and the frame.
My only workaround so far has been to set vibration intensity to the second highest level, which is not really much weaker than the highest and does not produce the buzz/rattle sound.
I just got my phone today and I'm noticing it. I was almost wondering if that was how it was supposed to sound. E either way it annoys me.

hmm, the issue was more widespread that i initially thought. the rattle is kind of annoying. still considering whether to send it to the service centre coz not sure whether they can solve it.

Hey everybody,
I purchased a Pure last Sunday, and have noticed that the vibration doesnt feel as "solid" as i'd like it to.
A big pet peeve of mine was that my fuze made a lot of noise when it vibrated because the two halves (if you want to call them that) (screen and keyboad) buzzed against each other. I was really hoping to have a feel on the pure similar to the iPhone where its an inaudible vibration (the way it should be).
My Pure vibrates and it sounds like something is rattling around inside, not like its physically shaking the device. Anyone have any similar comments or different experience? I'd like to go swap my pure out with AT&T if it means I'll get a quieter vibrate... Thanks!

If the sound comes by the camera that is normal. Like if you move or tap the back of the phone. Its the auto focus.
I it's not that then IDK. All I know is that the phone doesn't vibrate enough form me and I've never had noise problems. Not even from the camera when vibrating.
I use this (Touch Response) It works great and gives for better tactile feedback. You can set the intensity by making it vibrate shorter or longer. My prefered settings are in the first post I made. (The First Post LOL)
yeah, i used touch response for my Fuze. its hard to tell where my rattling is coming from, maybe i'll swing by the store and get a demo unit to buzz...
I have a weird rattle as well, if i tap the back of the top of the unit it makes a rattle sound. Sometimes when it vibrates the sound is odd too so i assumed that the rattle was that. Is that what ur rattle is like?
I took it to carphonewarehouse and they were like send it off to HTC to get it fixed, would take 2 weeks so i was like hmm its working fine atm so dont worry.

That rattle your getting is the auto focus camer. It is normal. Use the camera and you can here it move and fixate when you take a pic. It's like that when not in use.
I know there is another short post about this, but wanted to get a quick poll from people about whether this is even a fault. The phone does not appear to be malfunctioning.
I have noticed a rattle in the head of the device (this is not related to the volume button, mine is a bit loose, but it doesn't really bother me). If I shake it perpendicular to the screen, it makes a small rattling sound. If however, I tap it lightly near the back speaker, it makes a large and rather unnerving rattling sound (if you're going to test for this, please hold onto the volume button to rule this out). The issue with this is that when I take a call and the volume is quite high, whatever is loose appears to rattle sometimes, making the unrelated but highly annoying audio distortion problem even worse!
I have managed to get opinions from 2 other users already. One has it, the other doesn't. That makes 2 that have it and 1 that doesn't so far.
Any ideas on what it might be, also appreciated!
Mine does it, i suppose it could be the camera lense =/
I notice the rattle, and have noticed previously a nasty distortion type rattling sound when on a call.....
Mine phone started doing that after using the camera edge to open beer bottles. But only after the 12th bottle....
mine too...
My phone does it too, when i shake the phone it doesnt sound but when i tap the speaker it makes the loose kinda screw soundm it almost sounds like when the lens is focusing it makes a sort of click its almost the same so i would assume it is the lens, after all my phone is working great, only the screen fails to respond sometimes when typing an sms or using the sense keyboard...
i think it is the lens
it is the lens, is has a small magnetic mechanism, similar to a solenoid to move the lens in and out for focusing. If it didnt have a little rattle, your autofocuser is stuck
OK thanks for the replies, looks like pretty much everyone has got it, but curiously, I got a reply from HTC on the matter, concluding that there might be an issue with the handset. Admittedly I asked about the sound distortion too, but they recommended a replacement?!? Sounds like they don't know about this or just blanket recommend a replacement if they're not sure.
I'll probably stick with the unit though, other than those 2 issues, my handset is perfect.
Thanks again for all the responses!
Hmmm I just rang htc about this has mine as developed the fault.. Also reported that my bottom buttons are starting to peel. Not to sure if i should send it off now or not.. Problem is.. It didn't do it before so why is it now? The guy on the phone was hinting towards me maybe dropping the phone I think and said I may incur a charge if they don't believe it is a problem with the phone.. Which I no I shouldn't but find really offending because I treat my phones like a baby and has never been placed on a surface hard in its life (and always placed on top of the htc case) let alone dropped.. But I know there are a lot of people who don't mind spending £500 on a phone and not treating it to well so I guess they have to presume this..
Anyway..
I also think it is coming from the camera area.. I never use the vibrate function so turned that on for a bit to see if that would make any difference and also used the camera for a while to see if it was the auto focus but still the same. If the noise wasn't so obvious I wouldn't send it in for repair but I think this noise is going to do my head in.. (also want the buttons replaces as they are starting to peel)
If they try to put the noise down to misuse I think I will be selling up and moving back to apple.. Shame because I love the HD2.
Just out of interest my phone came from one of the 1st batches from Clove in November.
I noticed that upon the vibration being triggered on really short spurts (for example when typing) that occasionally a clicking noise is generated. This isn't from the speaker, it's definately a mechanical noise.
For reference, My EVO is less then 24 hours old.
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks
I haven't heard any clicking and I've had mine for a week. I just tested it with typing and I don't hear any mechanical noise. Perhaps yours is defective?
The vibration on this phone is 100% more refined than the Hero's (in my opinion, lol). I turned off haptic feedback everywhere on my Hero because it was obnoxious and obtrusive. The haptic on the Evo seems smooth and intuitive. I prefer to use it on anything with the option.
I had it on a replacement vogue I got, it went away after awhile.
Take it into sprint and see if you can replace it.
My Nexus One use to do that. Did it from day one I had it since release date and still works fine.
I happened to notice this today myself but the noise eventually went away. I hope it doesn't become a big issue.
Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily a defect. Just when it gets triggered for such a short time-span that sometimes happens. Not that first phone I've noticed it on.

I was watching a podcast of the 404(cnet) and one of the hosts had something go wrong with his vibration on his evo....??
He said it will still vibrate like when calls came in, but for like the haptic feedback it didn't work.(yes he menitoned he had checked all the settings that were relative)
Dunno if this means anything to you but it could be more than a fluke problem. You never know...
I'm having this exact same problem on a nexus one...

After about two and a half weeks of ownership I started getting the click. It happens when the vibration is very short, maybe less than 1 second.
It isn't really obnoxious to me, but it is enough of a click that I notice it now.
Haven't noticed this ... yet ...
-_-

lol I thought I was the only one.
Curious, how loud? Would the key tone, god forbid that even be on, cover it up? Medium volume? (Is that loud??? I don't use the key tones ... )
Mine does the same thing. Clicks every other input. At the home screen I can press the back button over and over and every other time is clicks.. doesn't sound healthy. Its getting annoying when texting because every other letter feels differnt making some letters feel like there is no vibration....
THe more it does it, it's starting to feel like a rattle, like something is loose....
I used to have that w/ my first evo. Then i bought a second off the market and it didnt have the vibration problem. so i returned the first...
I have this issue, will sprint do an exchange because of this? I can replicateit by holding the backspace key on swype, its a loud annoying clicking
Edit: I upgraded to the new swype and thenoise is gone
I have this same clicking sound, doesn't seem to bother me though!
yup, mine will occasionally do it too. It almost sounds like there is slack in there and whenever it starts up it slaps against something. Mine doesn't seem to be getting worse so I'm not to worried about it but I definitely notice it when it does happen.

Sounds about right to me it don't happen all the time so I just assumed it worked similar to a ps3 controller? Prob not but I have noticed but not been bothered by this

Hi,
Just got my Desire HD today and it's all good except I've noticed a rattle when the vibrator kicks in, ie when you're entering text for a message etc that is a very different sound to the actual vibrator itself. Has anyone else noticed it?

Dude! have the exact same Issue! I was going insane, because i thought it happened after i dropped my phone. But You're saying you have it and your phone is new. Anyone else?
My vibration motor failed last Friday. Makes a scraping/clicking/whining noise depending on how I hold it. Never dropped and kept in a HTC leather pouch all the time.
HTC UK quoted 28+ days to repair as "there is a backlog of repairs, due to us moving repair centres". Told them to fcuk right off, not waiting that length of time.
Twisted Phones4U's arm (who I bought the handset off) and they reluctantly agreed a replacement.
I'm still waiting for that, as the first replacement had extremely poor fitting covers, both battery & SIM/SD card.
Sorry to hear that andy. But the issue we are describing is the vibrator producing a rattling "click" sporadically when delivering haptic feedback. It's close in sound to an ipod keypress osund (LOL, didn't know how to describe it otherwise). It's a minor issue, but it's driving me insane! We want to see how many people have noticed it, and if there is a solution/workaround
Same issue here - worked fine for the first week of owning the phone and since then the vibrate function rattles so loud it's embarassing so I avoid using it altogether (not to mention it's a horrible high pitched sort of sound).
I have, however, noticed that if I gently squeeze the left and right sides of the phone and test the vibrate function it works correctly as it's meant to (I try to avoid doing this often as I'm scared I'll damage the screen by putting too much pressure on it). It's almost as if the vibrate motor gains some breathing room and space for movement.
This leads me to believe that either the various removable covers are no longer a decent fit (and they were a pretty bad fit to begin with) and are causing the rattle or the whole case has warped somehow causing the vibrate feature to play up.
I'd be interested to see if any other people confirm this to be an issue.
I have baught my Desire HD around 6 months back. Even my phone gives rattle sound (Something like there are some loose part inside). I don't remember if I have this issue when I bausght the phone, But I am facing this since long time.
In some threads they say the metal ring around the camera could be loose and it rattles when the phone vibrates. Maybe it could be that but my phone vibration is weak but normal.
there comes more and more a louder sound when the phone is vibrating. but when its in my bag, its sometimes better i hear it a bit
Has anyone else noticed the earpiece speaker rattles/vibrates during calls on their Note 4? Its not terrible, but its defo noticable and really annoying. I expected a perfect new phone. Was wondering if this is a general issue before I swap handset?
I havent noticed but could it be the camera module, hold phone close to ear and shake gently, same noise?
I'd say go for a replacement, mine does not make any obscure noise, my 1st note 3 however had an obnoxious vibration from the speaker.
Looks like I will have to go for a replacement I think. Theres no sound coming from camera. Thanks for the suggestion though. I even tried taking the back off the phone to see if it was that vibrating slightly, but no different. Tried pressing against top part of pbone too as thought this may firm up any loose parts, but had no joy. Its a pain as just set all settings as I wanted and really wanted to avoid replacement. Oh well lol. Thank you for your reply, appreciated!
Finally managed to change phone after store got new stock in. Turns out I had a faulty handset. New one is perfect, no unwanted sound from earpiece at all!
