I had a 8.4 LTE (705) that i sold to a friend, because he needed right away and couldn't wait for shipping.
I bought another one but this one is LOUD when it vibrates, sounds as if the vibration motor was grinding something.
It helps if i lower the vibration intensity in the settings but, the default vibration (i.e. startup or TWRP or anything outside TW) is just too strong and noisy.
Did i get a defective vibration motor? Is there a setting to overwrite the default strength of it? It sounds like miscalibration.
Anybody else with this issue?
Thanks!

Does anyone know how to increase the vibration strength past the default max? I have it all the way up but I keep missing calls due to not being able to feel it in my pocket or hear it on my desk. Any help is appreciated.
Hi everyone, to those who received their oneplus 5T, I got a question for you.
Have you all hear a strange noise after each vibrates? Basically, I've been hearing a strange and non-consistent "raindrop" sound after each vibrates.
When I turn on vibrate on tap and set the intensity to high, I can hear this sound after the vibration motor triggers.
Has anyone else experience such issues?
Here is the sound file I uploaded for better clarification:

I hear that on mine as well.
I have a similar experience. However it's very quiet (I don't know how high you numbed up the volume, but I don't have it that hard) and not all the time.
I think I know why:

It's the combination of the speaker and vibration. So no hardware fault. Or at least, I think it's not.
Way to reproduce this sound: Go to settings - sounds - incoming call vibration pattern
Play a little bit and you should hear the "Raindrop" sound.
After you connect some headphones it's totally gone. So hopefully it can be fixed with a software update.
Weird.. I don't hear it when I do that. I only hear it when the speaker is on. Like when unlocking your phone, the speaker will stay one for a couple of seconds (very quite noise, is normal). When you use your home bottom fast a couple of times after unlock you hear the raindrop. When the speaker totally turns off after a couple of seconds you don't hear it anymore.
I think it's due to the vibration resonating with the speaker when on (try it for yourself). This also explains why you don't hear it when using headphones.
The sound is so minimal many users don't realize it I think. It's not a hardware fault I'm guessing, more a disign thing.
I'm having this problem too.. only after the speaker is activated.
Everyone who notice it, please also let know on the OnePlus forum here, also for more information about it (It's probably design related):

Hi, is it normal that you can actually hear the vibration (quite loudly) when pressing nav bar buttons or typing etc?
I've not noticed it on previous/other phones so was wondering if it's faulty...
I think that you can switch the vibration level in the settings app. At least it worked for me in my old OP5.
Yea I have it set to the lowest level, but in a silent room you could still hear it from say 1-2 meters away. Sounds like when you blow on the lip of a glass bottle lol

Can you also feel slight vibration when you tap near the keyboard area? I think the vibration motor moves slightly when you tap the phone
No, I haven't noticed any other vibrations when tapping on the screen.
With regards to my issue, from watching YouTube videos it appears to be 'normal'.
Massive design floor in my opinion, what's the point of vibrate mode if it's just as loud as having touch sounds on lol!
same here, vibration is too loud and i find it very annoying to feel.Anyone did try adjust vibrations with custom kernel?
I feel the vibration is too weak (can't really feel it when in my pocket). Is there no vibration intensity option for this phone like other androids??
I was gonna come here and ask the same. Sadly no vibration option to be found.
Whenever i put my mobile on vibration mode and put it in my pocket i miss my phone calls because of this low intensity vibration motor. Is this the same way with you?
Is there any way to change the vibration settings?

It seems to be working normally for me, but I usually refrain from using vibrating alerts as they can damage stuff internally and even more when they vibrate strongly. I'd say vibration on my device is standard.
You can specifically test target the vibration motor using the MIUI Hidden Settings app from XDA Labs, you cannot change intensity of it, just test it the motor.
I am not aware of app or patch to change vibration intensity.
Maybe your device is defective (an other user complains not having any vibration at all as you saw) or coming from an other devices that used to vibrate with more intensity you are feeling the gap idk, but in order to see if that's your device or all device the same, you could go to a store selling it to test how the vibration is there on the devices they are selling.
This way you would be able to know if that's common for all production or just your device and act accordingly.
Good luck,
Regards,
