[Q] Do you guys get a noise when the vibration motor "vibrates" when typing?
So when I'm typing at all. The vibration motor makes a like scratching noise and doesn't vibrate but when say I call it. It'll vibrate normally. Is this normal?

Some of the Nexus 5 devices have this too. Some consider it a defect, and some dont. If you dislike it, I would just exchange device for a new one.

I'm noticing this, too. I also saw a similar post on the nexus 6 subreddit.
Can more owners of the Nexus 6 chime in? Is this a defect or normal?
Mine does it as well - I think it's normal. Probably the camera lens.
Mine too
The vibrator in this phone is really loud. If it is a ticking sound I agree that it is probably the OIS parts in the camera making noise as they move around since the motors appears to be near the camera. IF you shake your phone you might be able to hear it as well and a lot of people think that's a defect when they've not use a device with OIS before.
Occasionally once I start typing a lot, yes. I just turned the vibration length down in the keyboard settings... helped somewhat.
Ah so this one also must have cheap vibrator like n5. I wished it had Samsung like one. Bad..
I had to exchange my first N6 for a new one due to the sensors failing. My original one did exactly this, it was driving me nuts. My new one does not though.
Mine is loud but it doesn't rattle anything
Mine is loud also. Noticeable while in a quiet room. Nothing seems broken but I hate it drives me nuts. Other then that phone is great
On the first generation nexus 5, I've observed this. The culprit was the loose physical buttons. Do check the same on the nex6 as well.
Changing the orientation of the phone usually helps.
Yeah I was just thinking today how ****ty mine sounds when I'm in a quiet environment. I turned off my feedback for the keyboard . Went back to my M8 and that vibration is solid when typing.
I've returned att n6 for vibrator rattle. I am not exchanging it becuz I don't want to play return game. I am really disapponted for this price they used cheap vibrator like N5. I am done.
Anybody doesn't hear rattle I quiet environment?
Mine is loud also.
Had the same problem on my first n6. The second one is MUCH better!
I'm not talking about loud vibrator. Something's rattling while vibrating in quiet environment. You hear it.
I notice this too when I use haptic feedback on my Nexus 6. I hear a click/rattle or something coming from the top speaker. It's kinda annoying in a quiet environment.
It only happens when it vibrates quickly (i.e. typing with haptic feedback on). I don't hear it when there's a longer vibration (i.e. incoming message/phone call). Either that, or the vibration is so powerful/loud it's overcoming the rattle.
I'm going to the AT&T store after work that has a Nexus 6 demo model. I'll compare it with that and report back with my findings.
Mine seems to have this issue too. I can hear some noises when I'm typing with haptic feedback on. Not a big issue to me too since I dislike typing with haptic feedback.
Is there any way, to make the vibration stronger?
With the Nexus 6 I could hear it and feel it.
With the Xperia XZ2 I don't hear it and feel it only a little bit.
XZ2 doesnt have a vibrator motor in it, it now has a mechanism similar to the iphone that makes a thump rather than a vibration.

Thanks!
In my opinion I don't regonize it as often as a normal vibration motor.
Hi! I'm aware that the rog phone 2 has actually two vibration motors. Since I have it I couldn't really tell if there actually was one or two motors, as the vibration allways seems to come from the bottom, so I made a test with Asphalt 9 (the game they use to advertise the vibration system and came preinstalled) and actually felt the two vibration motors working separately.
I know by the "Jerry rig everything" video that the top motor is smaller than the bottom one, and during my test I muted the sound and noticed that the top motor makes a not so pleasant sound, I even could say it is painful to hear and noticeably loud, it is almost like an electric noise. My question is, can this be considered normal? Can anyone relate to this with their own device? Thanks!
I'm pretty dissapointed by the weak vibration motor in the phone.
It feels like they put a really cheap one in sadly
It's stronger than my old phone (Huawei Mate 10), although that one was super weak.
Not sure if it's just weak but the placement.. On a table I hear the vibrations fine but when its in my hand typing, its as if the vibration is non-existent. Also may want to try turning up vibration intensity, i felt it helped a tad bit
You are talking about haptics...I do not use them...they serve no purpose...but as a vibration motor for notifications it is only a step down from my old Moto X Pure (those were the days of great customizable phones) that had a vibration motor thatwould knock the fillings out of your teeth. I think the FE has a very good vibration motor.
Wondering if it's just me, but is everyone's vibration motor loud when on maximum? I've turned it down to almost the lowest and it's better but still audible.

I've noticed the same thing. My Note 9 has a broken vibration motor and it sounds almost the same. Wish we could get a quiet and forceful vibration feedback like apple
