funny noise coming for my iphone

[Jaak]

Hey guys

This afternoon I got back from uni ,turned my Iphone off from silent , when I pressed the top button to lock it started making a funny resonating echo sound (sounds like a squirrel on spincycle in a washing machine) for about 5 sec before fading ,now its doing it everytime I lock it.

I was wondering if anyone had this problem before or will I need to take it in to get checked/fix....

its a 3gs with newest software

What it sounds like
Ps this is not my phone but the same problem

Throw it against the wall. Noise should stop but may need a screen replacement.

[MISS 13B]

Fuck that sounds possessed.

[DRKWRX]

sounds like when you hold a microphone near an amp, maybe the mic is on and picking up the sound? fuk knows.

[devilfish]

thats audio feedback for sure

It's from watching to much pron

uhm shit! you sure ,I mean nah I dont watch porn on it:)

[coucheee]

the sound is called "feedback" where the noise from the speaker is heard by the mic and it keeps ocsilating around and around getting louder and louder.

i have an application that makes it do that on purpose so i can annoy the audio techs at work,

my guess is that the new operating system is allowing the mic to stay on when not in a call or rrecording app allowing it to "feedback"
