It's been two days since I started using this phone.
Today, I can hear an excessive sound coming either from the camera lens or the front speaker. {Noise heard better from front side of the phone}
This happens when you try to shake or flip the phone even gently. I know usually the camera lens on every phone makes a little noise.
But this is extreme. It's almost like there's a tiny piece of hardware broken inside and it's moving even if you shake the phone gently. I either did not observe this issue or it wasn't there for the first two days.
Can anyone confirm if it's the same?

Yes, even in mine there is a kind of muffled noise
Hi guys.
It's from the cameras. If you try this with the camera app open you will see that the noise stops.
Optical Image Stabilisation most likely. Camera lens can move to handle shake.
I don't hear anything noticeable from mine. Just a VERY slight muffled noise if I shake it while holding the lenses right up to my ear, but nothing I would notice if I wasn't specifically trying to find a noise.

I had not had the tiny rattling sound that comes from the rolling wheels under the slider until today, after I dropped my X1 for the first time. But, after reading around and finding the source of the rattle - the tiny metal wheels under the front of the device - I was able to stop the noise. (not to mention being relieved it wasn't something more serious)
The noise is the light rattle coming mostly from the top end of the front as well as the bottom, louder at the top. It sounds almost like a loose screw and makes noise even just from turning the phone upside down, more high-pitched than the other possible noises. Testable by putting pressure on the front of the device, just to the left of the light sensor. if you push down and shake the noise disappears. The source is the little roller wheels under the slider.
This noise is not the optical joystick and not the camera rattle. The joystick rattle can be detected by holding your thumb with a slight bit of pressure over the optical joystick and gently shaking, if that noise goes away, this will not fix it. If the sound is more of a quiet clunking sound that only happens with a jolting shake, the source is the autofocus of the camera and will not be fixed by this.
How I stopped the noise:
I fixed this by cutting thin slices of clear tape, about 1 mm wide and 3 mm long and placed them flat on the metal of the keyboard, then closed the phone. I slid some paper in the gap to make a cushion and applied pressure to the front face to push the tape up onto the wheels more firmly. No more noise.
To make the fix invisible, use a second strip of tape to hold the edge of the tape that will remain so you can position it far enough inside it cannot be seen and then remove the second strip.

Cool tutorial there dude!!!
Seem a bit excessive though for something i never notice or get bothered by
Still cool idea!

The noise I was suddenly hearing was quite loud and happened with the slightest movement, very much like a small loose screw moving around. Since it happened only after dropping the phone (for the first and hopefully last time), I really wanted it eliminated.
I got my crystal pro on Sunday, overall really happy with it (will be even happier when I get .124 and the improved AOD!) but am noticing a very slight rattle when tapping on certain parts of the screen.
It only happens when I tap the top right part of the screen, it is very minor but is certainly not consistent with the rest of the display. It is the part of the screen that will be sitting adjacent to the rear cameras so maybe it is the camera mechanism? Probably normal but I am kind of OCD about this kind of stuff.
Anybody else noticing this on their pro?
Same here next to the cameras. I thought it's the OIS but my first p30 pro (display issues) didn't do that or i never noticed it!

I can confirm that it is there, and if you tap and listen closely, the sound is originating from the back, so it's most likely the OIS in the cameras.
But it isn't an issue for me, as you have to use some force while tapping it to hear that rattle, using the phone normally with slight taps like I use every other touchscreen device, I can't hear any rattling sound whatsoever.
My Redmi Note 10 Pro makes some sort of rattling or shaking sound as if something were loose inside the camera module when I put it down (on a hard surface such as table, doesn't even have to be forceful).
I can also tap on the inner side of the camera module to produce that sound.
Is that the camera stabilizer? Does anyone else have this rattling?
It really doesn't sound healthy, but everything wokres fine...

I do feel the same. Weird, but, oh well.
I only hear it when I put the phone done with a bit more force, putting it down normally or tapping (even strongly) doesn't produce that sound.
Same here. I tend to think (hope?) it's the stabilizer as well...
Yep, mine arrived today. I also noticed the rattling when I tap on the camera module and when I put the phone down on a hard surface..
My rattle is pretty significant even with only gently placing my phone onto a surface. Did anybody get their issue sorted?

I don't think it's an issue, just how it was designed. It was the same with my last Xiaomi phone and it's still like new after 3 years.
Mine too
So by complete accident I noticed that whenever I shake my 11 Ultra, a strong rattling sound comes from the top portion of the phone, like there's something loose inside. After a bit of testing I assumed it's the OIS from the wide angle, since whenever that camera is used, and the OIS kicks in, the sound when shaken becomes very small. But anyways, is this normal?
This may sound like a strange request, but please, could you people shake your device and give a feedback here to know if it's just my unit?
It’s normal.
Ah ah by accident too, i noticed the same few days ago.
And when i change camera lens in pro mode, i have a little sound similary as haptic.
That's reassuring, i am not the only one. But why we have this thing ?
It's the camera and OIS. It's normal.

It’s the stabilization module inside the camera shaking. It’s a moving part so it’s basically floating when you’re not using it. When you shake the phone you make it move inside the camera, thus the rattling noise.
And obviously, it’s for stabilizing the camera when you’re moving so you don’t get the blur effect.
Thank you guys for your feedback, good to know that it's normal. Have a nice day everyone!
Hello,
There's a strange rattling noise when I move the phone back and forth like something is loose inside the phone near the camera module. Does anyone else have the same experience? Is this related to the gimbal/OIS or a defect? I don't remember if I had this from day one, just noticed it a couple of days back.
Regards.
I have the same thing, Chinese version. Noticed from day 1, no issues with camera. I'm assuming it's the gimbal
Having something similar when i play games and there is vibration, only noticeable at night when there is absolute silence. I suppose its the gimbal, no problems whatsoever, and only noticeable on no noise at night.
Yes, it is the Camera stabilization system and it is natural.
