Default Clicking loudspeaker (and noise) ?

Has anyone noticed this: Everytime time the (back) speaker starts playing, you can hear a clicking noise. And when you stop playing music, sounds, etc. you can hear it click again (after a few seconds).

It seems like the back speaker gets tuned on and off on demand. When it's on, you can also hear white noise coming out of the speaker. It stops when the speaker gets turned off.

The clicking is quite loud...it's not so loud when using headphones.

It is either really quiet or non-existent on my phone, since i did not notice it yet.

The best way to test this is probably:
- Quiet environment
- Press the red button (in touchflo for example)
- The will cause a short click, the a beep sound is played...and about 3-5 seconds later you will hear the click again.

i did like you said, and when holding the phone speaker right to my ear i can hear the white noise and the "switch-off" clicking when the speaker is disabled. then the noise is also gone. But to notice this i had to go to another (quiet) room and hold it to my ear, its really quiet. maybe yours is louder...

Strange. I've been using my Jade for over a month now. Don't seem to experience that problem. No funny sound. Or maybe it's too soft for me to realise.
BE USEFUL IN ANYWAY, TO ANYONE, HOWEVER SMALL.

Thanks for your replies.

I recorded this effect by putting the speaker directly to the mic of my laptop.

Listen here: http://pasalacqua.de/tmp/touchclick.mp3

You can hear the click, then the beep, then the white noise, then the click again (to turn off the speaker).

I put the volume of my phone to low. So the click is actually louder than the beep.


I guess there could be bugs worse than this. But it bothers me when the phone plays system sounds like a simple beep. The click is louder than the sound...


I just wonder if it is a general bug or only a bug on my phone.
