So I was working night shifts last week and when taking a break in our smaller break room, two other people have been in there. One of them napping, the other one busy with her phone, so I started typing away on my Phone (2) and quickly got “the look” from both of them, even though we were sitting a few meters apart from each other, the haptic feedback was very audible, so much I had to turn it off. Pulled out my Fold 4 with haptic feedback enabled and nobody was bothered, I even tried the cheap Nokia smartphone supplied by my employer, again nobody was bothered.
Since I had four night shifts in a row I tried it every night with different co-workers present and most of them were bothered by the noise the haptic engine of the Nothing Phone (2) emits. In a silent room with echoing accustics you don’t even have to sit right next to each other in order to hear it.
Is this some software bug, a design issue with the actual vibration engine or is it even for some reason intentional?
