iPhone 17 Pro iPhone 17 Pro Camera Making A Clicking Sound

[Jamesp96]

I have just upgraded from an iPhone 15 Pro to iPhone 17 Pro and I immediately noticed that the rear and front facing cameras are making an audible clicking like sound.

You can hear it when you open the Camera app. You can also hear the front facing camera make a click sound when FaceID is prompted. Anyone else experiencing this with their device?

My 17 Pro Max and my wife's 17 Pro both have clicking and hissing. The microphone is picking up the hissing when recording video.

I don’t hear anything on my 17PM. I held it right up to my ear while opening the camera.

Mine does the same. Clicking noise when opening camera app.

I think this thread is going to need a poll.

Saw someone mention this earlier today. Yikes!! I’m picking mine up tomorrow, and hope it won’t be the case. That’s a pretty big issue for Apple to miss.

eta: Wonder if it’s both, or just the Pro OR PM.

There is a hissing sound when I open up the camera app. I have to hold my ear up to the camera as I open the camera app but the sound is for sure there.

Deffo an issue then. Software related I would assume.

I have this, as well. I have to hold it to my ear to hear it. Goes away when I switch from back camera to front camera.

Is the clicking like one click when you switch front to back each time, or is it a constant clicking while having the camera app open?

Well, this all sounds bad…

It’s the haptic motor, software fix will sort it

Yeah, I can also hear the hissing sound coming from the camera housing. Can also hear it on video. Strange.

Only when you first open the camera app. Happens in third party apps too but doesn’t seem to be as loud.

It’s definitely not. These sounds are coming from the camera housing.

Hard to tell on mine. Could be either.
