iPhone 15, makes a buzzing noise, is it a software issue or hardware issue.
Hello everyone, 1 month and 20 days back I bought a brand new iPhone 15. During week 3, when I opened Snapchat and at the same time there were notifications, my phone made a “bee-like buzzing sound”. I called Apple Service and they ran a diagnostic test and said everything is fine (in the hardware category); however, I had an iOS update, the technician asked me to update it and the issue might not persist. After that, 2 weeks passed and there were no weird sounds. Last week, the buzzing noise was back, so I thought it might be because of the new iOS 26.5 update and I updated my phone immediately. However, I still get those noises whenever I open Instagram or Snapchat camera, but this time it’s very faint and lasts for less than a second.
I went to the Genius Bar and they gave me the option of repairing or restoring the phone. I am not comfortable with my brand new phone being repaired. Will this issue persist or go away on its own, and how can I ask them to replace the phone instead of repairing it?
I have a video of the sound, but unfortunately I can’t attach it here :/
