That is the haptic feedback. I do not think it is the sound volume at all. I’m pretty sure that if you turned off the haptic feedback, you wouldn’t get the vibrations.

From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of R Van Lant Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2020 7:42 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: question regarding sound vibration in new SE I’ve had my new SE for about a week. I upgraded from a 6S. Before I sent my old phone back to Apple, I was doing a side by side comparison because of a difference I noticed. I’m curious if those of you who are audiophiles or sound engineer types can explain this to me. My sighted husband couldn’t detect what I was talking about, but I’m guessing other blind people would pick up on this as I did. I’ve certainly heard some of you remark that sound quality is better on the SE. I have really only used it for VoiceOver to date, and I wouldn’t claim to be that astute about music sound quality anyway. Here’s what I noticed. I had VoiceOver volume set as close to the same on both phones as possible I took both out of their cases and set them on the table. I then ran my finger over the screen showing my mail inbox on both phones, so that VoiceOver was reading aloud at the same time. . I notice that the SE distinctly had a different feel as the sound is projecting. I can really feel the vibration through my finger as I’m moving around the screen, even if volume is set low, like 25%. It’s like the sounds waves are causing a vibration,. It changes the sounds a bit and actually kind of irritates my finger. I don’t feel any of that on the 6S. Anyone else notice this? I’m not sure how it would feel on a 7 or 8, so maybe most of you are used to this. I’m just really surprised at how different it feels and I’m honestly a bit disappointed. I think I’m also feeling the difference a bit on my eardrums, but the feel in my finger is a more pronounced way to describe the difference. On a related note, is the hole on the bottom left were the 3.5 headphone used to plug in now also a speaker? I just noticed that, if I have VoiceOver talking, my thumb clearly feels more vibration coming out of the right speaker than the left. I’m not sure if it would be equal, so maybe this is expected behavior. I’ll go to an Apple store soon if this could be a problem, but didn’t want to sound like a complete neurotic person without some validating of what I’m observing.
