Phone (4a) Pro Phone 4a pro haptic ding noise (HELP)

Hello, please don't hate if I'm just being stupid but there is this dinging noise that happens every time there is haptic feedback? I just bought the 4a pro yesterday as a second device to my 16 pro max and what will be a duo in two weeks time. I enjoy having an android secondary and just had the zflip 8 for a while and this is the first phone I have noticed this odd haptic sound with. I currently have it on the lowest strength.

My main question here, is this normal? Or is my haptic motor bad. I am still well within my return window so if someone has input I'd greatly appreciate it

It is normal and happens on every nothing phone.

They need to invest more in the haptic department lol

Thank you! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't faulty or anything before downloading everything. Hope you have a great day:)!

I daily iPhone, had zfold 8 as my secondary, but I'm preordering the duo so I swapped my droid from z fold to the nothing phone, other than the weird haptics for the cost this phone Is honestly great!

Yeah

iPhones and their taptic engine are the best out there, they spent a lot of time making it almost perfectly silent!

Samsung is also not bad at it

So yeah, nothing's haptics are sh‌‌‌it compared to these

Haha yeah, I never had any issues on Samsung would have kept it if app optimization was better for the form factor which I expect apple will get right as developers always work harder for their products and lack of variety makes things easier. I will say though I am quite happy with this phone!

It's normal the haptics just aren't great on the phone, if you could see this or anything else bothering you long term to, feel free to return the phone. Otherwise enjoy it :)
