Slight Buzz Noise in iPhone 4S Earpiece

At the least I would let a geek look at it. they are very good about making users happy. If it is buzzing, the should replace.

 

Exchange it. I had exactly the same issue with my 4S, and I just returned it/exchanged it at an Apple Store yesterday afternoon.

I bought mine from AT&T online, and had it delivered yesterday. The Apple Store has some stock for replacements in black boxes, and they just swapped out the phone, but nothing else. I kept my box/manual/earbuds etc.

You can try the AT&T store, since that's where you bought it from. Can't imagine they'd give you any grief. That buzzing drove me nuts!

 

go to apple

 

i have very loud noise when i use skype with no earpeace and speaker on
did not have it on my iphone 4

 

i cant beleive some of these things arent normal. man i must have bought the most defective 3g ever...

 

Have the same thing with my white 16GB one.
As all iPhones are now sold out I guess I'll return it later...

Unless theres some kind of fix.

 

Noticed the same problem with my 32GB black 4S

 

I have noticed it intermittently, it is a slight hum that sounds like RF interference. It doesn't happen all the time but happens randomly.

 

Mine wasn't. Definitely some form of speaker resonance depending on the person's pitch on the phone.

 

I had the same problem with my black 64gb iPhone 4s. Went back to AT&T and asked for a replacement and got another 64gb.

 

I'm getting the same thing w my 32GB so taking it in soon for an exchange.

 

same problem here, going in for a replacement.

 

Yep, had my 16 gb black 4S since Friday morning and just started noticing the buzz while on a phone call a few minutes ago. WTF?

Guess I'll be heading back to AT&T or the Apple Store to have it replaced soon. Just sucks that I spent the entire weekend getting it set up exactly like I wanted it and now I'm gonna have to start all freaking over.

Question...as I said earlier, I got mine from AT&T in-store on Friday. If I get a replacement, do they still honor their 30-day return policy if I decided to go with something else (most likely I won't, but just in case)?

 

same here black 32GB 4s

 

Well, now I'm confused. As I stated earlier, I had the buzzing that people have talked about. But I got another phone call this afternoon and it didn't seem to be there.

I guess I'll give it a week or so and see if it's still doing it. If so, then I'll go get it replaced.

 

Just made a genius appointment. Its very annoying. I only noticed it now cause i havn't been using the earpiece, i only use bluetooth.

 

Ya I made an appointment as well, I think it is the speaker, plus I have the yellow screen issue.

 

I replaced the phone, couldn't reproduce it in the store. Has same issue. I have to assume this is normal and its environmental and based on where I am located.

 

I hear the buzz only through the speaker not headphones, so I am assuming it is the speaker itself.

 

Same issue on Apple forums:

I swapped out my iPhone and it seemed to have resolved the issue.

 

it will come back, all iphone 4s have the problem, just depends on where you are. You can even hear it if you turn the phone around and listen to the back. Im not sure its even coming from speaker.
