Getting a weird sound/noise with haptic feedback

I’ve been using my iPhone X for a while now and yesterday I thought I heard some weird clack coming under the phone while I was rapidly scrolling up and down with the timer. Today I heard the same weird noise again but this time it was while “closing” the accessibility reachability shortcut. Did anyone else experience this?

It happens on silent (apparently it doesn’t happen on silent and probably because there is no feedback when doing it on silent) and ring and it happens regardless of the alert volume and media volume.

Edit: it didn’t happen when I was trying to record my screen with mic enabled to show what I was trying to say. It probably is related to Taptic Engine. It isn’t consistent either, sometimes it is barely hearable, sometimes it really clacks like something is pushing the speakers really quickly. There isn’t any sound when I try the vibration settings or in anywhere else really.

Edit 2: for anyone who was wondering look to this comment.

With the new ios 11.2.5 beta 2 the weird click is gone. Just wait the official release. Peace mate.

Those are normal clicks Apple thinks they increase user experience

It clearly wasn’t there before but I have found another post about it I think.

Yes that’s also normal if you have an iPhone X and you pull down control center and swipe up on the home bar it makes a audible click as well as a haptic buzz totally normal all iPhone Xs do this

Oh my goodness I haven’t experienced that one yet. That is so mildly infuriating lol. Thank for clearing up though, I thought something was loose in there.

No it’s not the topic engine or something mechanical clicking it’s literally just Apple trying to be clever and playing a click sound with the speaker which is why it disappears when your phone is silenced and I agree it’s annoying
