Shaking noise- hardware Note 4

[InVez]

I was shaking my Note 4 and there came a weird sound out of it. I thought something was broken /loose inside the phone.
Than i tried the camera on and the noise was gone when i was shaking the phone with the cam on.
So the lens of the camera is the shaking sound.
When i put the camera on i hear the camera focus hardware sound silent.
Some of you have that problem also , is it a defect?

That's whacky. My Note 4 has a kind of clicking sound when I shake it with the phone off or on but not when the camera app is running.

Must be normal, my phone seems normal in every way.

So you also have that sound, so it is not only my Note 4. Thanks for your input.

I have the exact same problem, except on my galaxy s6.

It's not a problem, its a mechanical piece of the camera that's disengaged. I'll give you a way to prove it...open the camera app and see if you hear it (shaking it) while the camera app is open!

The optically stabilized lens rattles around when the camera is not in use. Once the camera is activated a magnetic field stabilizes the lens and the rattling will momentarily stop. On some devices the rattling is more pronounced. On mine it was loud, and eventually the camera had to be replaced due to focus issues. I'm not saying that this will happen to everyone who hears the rattle just that it happened to me.

YES! This is exactly my case. The camera lens modules is actually floating around in some sort of magnetic suspension, but if you are not using the camera, it is loose and rattles. In fact, I put keys inside the pocket with the Note 4 and the lens cover shattered. Ended up replacing the whole lens module for about 70 bucks. I hope they wake up and use sapphire for the lens cover. It shatters too easily.

It's not a problem, it's a hardware design.
