Samsung clarifies cause of faint noise coming from camera module
Samsung users are discussing a new issue after installing the One UI 8.5 update. Some people say they started hearing a small sound from the camera area of their phones after updating. The sound is very soft and can mostly be heard in a quiet place.
Galaxy user shared their experience on Samsung’s community forum. They said they updated their phone as soon as they saw the update notification. After using the phone for a short time, they noticed a faint dull sound whenever they opened the Camera app. The user also found that the same sound could be heard when opening photos through the Naver search app.
As the sound appeared after the update, some users thought the software might have caused a problem with the camera. This led to questions and discussions in the community about whether the noise was normal or a sign of an issue.
A Samsung community moderator has replied to the post and explained the reason behind the sound. According to the moderator, the noise comes from a small part inside the camera, an actuator. This part moves the camera lens when the phone is trying to focus on an object, which means in Auto Focus.

Samsung said that the sound is normal and can happen when the camera starts working. Depending on the camera module used in the phone, some devices may make the sound clearer than others. The company added that this is part of the camera’s design and does not mean there is a fault or damage.
Users do not need to worry because the sound is expected during camera operation. However, if anyone feels the noise is unusual or keeps causing concern, they can visit a Samsung Electronics Service Center. For most users, the faint camera noise is simply a normal part of how the camera focuses and works.
