iPhone 7 home button noise

[AndrewR23]

So I'm sure you all know the noise from the home button comes out of the speakers.

But after 2 months of owning I never knew this.

If I click gently on the home button, it makes a quiet noise.

If I press firmer, the noise is a little louder. My setting is at 1.

Anyone else notice? Feels the vibration is a bit stronger too on the firmer clicks as well.

I am afraid all I hear is the Taptic motor. Not sure about sound from the speakers.

I did. Cover the speakers and you can't hear anything. It's not a really Button, it's not going to make any noise.

Yes but only from the bottom speaker.

Yes this is nothing new and normal behavior. It makes sense doesn't it?

Press harder = louder and stronger click

Press gently = softer and less feedback on the tap back.

Mine does this too. It's supposed to simulate a regular button. All is normal and well! I really love the new button that isn't a button!

Cover up the speaker and try again.

yeah I never said it was a problem. Just an interesting thing I just noticed!

To vibrate the haptic motor needs free air. Can't vibrate in a sealed chamber.

I'm getting an all around consistent vibration from mine. But I didn't know the Haptic button sound transits through the speaker. I thought it was audible enough just hearing it in general.
