Home button audible click 8s

My home button has started making an audible click type noise like older iPhones when pressed. It’s not every time but it’s definitely more than 80%. Help?

Weird Clicking sound on iPhone SE 2022 Since this morning my phone’s home button haptic has occasionally been making a very loud clicking sound akin to flipping an old light switch. A restart fixes the issue but it appears again after a while. When this happens it is accompanied by audio issues, whatever is playing sounds tinny and ineligible, like static. I’m running iOS 16.2. Is this a software or hardware issue?

Duolingo clicking sounds Using 14 Pro Max on 16.5.1 Every time I use Duolingo, there’s a clicking sound (chk-chk) nonstop, intermittently. My daughter who also uses the iPhone 14 Pro Max on iOS 16.5.1, too, on Duolingo, doesn’t have this problem. Anybody with the same issue as mine? It’s distracting and a turn off! Is my new iPhone defective???

Hello,

Start here:

About the buttons and switches on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

I guess that it could be wearing out. Have it checked.

Note: the discussion below if for the iPhone 7, but it should still apply:
