Is there anyway to make the home button on the IP7 completely silent? The click is quit noticeable compared to the old button which was near silent.
Got a tip for us?

You're joking, right? My home button is completely silent. I only feel the haptic feedback.
try listening to the bottom speaker while performing the click...

I have to hold the bottom speaker to my ear and then I'm only hearing a faint haptic sound.
No it's not completely silent. Not even close.
That is not a sound produced by the Taptic Engine... if it is, the same sound will be present when you scroll through the alphabets in your Contacts, and other system services that generates the haptic feedback.
Definitely makes a noise, when clicking. It's not silent, although it's not loud enough to be troublesome I would still like it to be silent. My question was if you could operate it with zero noise
There is no adjustment do get used to it of return the device.
Settings>General>Home Button (choose 1)
If that's still too much, you can turn off haptic feedback system wide:
Settings>Sound & Haptics>System Haptics
It wasn't a complaint, just a question. Perfectly happy with the device

Must have good ears...
I used to click the side of the home button to reduce/stop the home button "click" on previous iPhones. It annoys me that the haptic feedback is accompanied by an audible click from the speaker - sure, it's unnoticeable most of the time, but I find it unnecessarily loud at night when I'm laying next to my kids or wife when they're sleeping and I'm trying to catch up on emails, etc. I think it's quite noticeable, and in my opinion serves no real purpose.
why even have to ever "click" the home button? You can set up raise to wake, and turn off the setting where you need to click the home button a second time to unlock the phone. From there, just use 3D touch to multitask/return to the home screen.
You would never actually have to press the button and it would be dead silent at night
I press the home button to return to the home screen. Have been doing so since 2007.
I don't like having a big ugly square obscuring the screen.
Nor do I like removing the oleophobic coating from a specific area of the screen (which I'd be doing by invoking the 3D Touch multitasking shortcut). Although I do appreciate the suggestion(s), what I'd prefer is that Apple not force audio feedback to accompany haptic feedback. How hard would it be to give people a CHOICE?if you are afraid of rubbing off the oleophobic coating you should not be using touch screen devices. The control can be placed and moved anywhere on the screen. It's your CHOICE where to put/move it.I don't like having a big ugly square obscuring the screen.

I disagree. Those of us who have differing opinions aren't necessarily trolls - just folks with differing opinions.
