Does anyone else's Nexus 6P make irritable noises when touched towards the top?

[brett_li]

I've noticed my Nexus 6P came out of the box doing this. Essentially whenever I tap on the top portion of the phone (right above the screen where the camera is housed) it makes a clicking sound. This sound, as best as I can describe it, sounds like two pieces of material touching each other.

I''m not sure if it's something on the inside of the phone, or the glass, or plastic, or aluminum. I have no idea.

It seems to be most prevalent the further to the right I move from the front facing camera, sounding the worst at the upper right corner. It almost just seems like a manufacturer's defect/shoddy construction. But I don't have another 6P to compare to, so I'm not sure if this is common or normal.

Has anyone else noticed their's do this?

The phone works perfectly fine it just makes this slight irritable sound whenever I touch that area or set the phone down.

It's the autofocus inside the camera and from what I've read its perfectly normal. Mine does it too.

re:

That's a relief. I think you're right, I've now read a similar explanation in other threads relating to the auto focus, the word most often used to describe is a "rattle".

Mine does it too, as I assume all do. It bothered me for the first day but I haven't noticed or thought about it since.

It stops when the rear camera is activated.
