Anyone else having issues with static noise accompanying haptics after the Pixel March software update? (feddit.dk)

My Pixel 7a updated overnight to the latest version of Android (Build number: BP1A.250305.019).

Since the update, I now have a static noise accompanying all haptic feedback, which is quite annoying. Very poor video recorded here: https://files.catbox.moe/vcshm5.mp4

The issue is reproducible in safe boot mode, so not related to an app I have installed.

I've been in touch with Google Support who told me to go and get it diagnosed at one of their approved warranty repair stores (the phone has 1 more year of warranty on it). I called ahead to the store, and the employee told me they don't diagnose or fix issues like that, and told me to mail it in to Google Repair directly instead.

I'm a little concerned about mailing it in, as it can take 7-10 days to get it returned, and there's no guarantee they can repair it. So I guess I'll be without a phone for 7-10 days, which in this day and age really isn't that possible.

Anyone else had this issue with the haptic resulting in a static noise? There are quite a few reports on Reddit about some issues with haptic being affected by the March Pixel update, but none relates to it emitting a static noise like in my case.

I haven't noticed problems on my P8P.

I'm surprised the repair places don't send you a loaner phone while they have yours. Then again, I guess nobody would trust a loaner with their personal info.

Yeh, that's a good point, about the loaner and privacy. Will see if I can borrow a phone from a friend while I send it off.

I always turn the haptic sounds off, but the update turned them back on. They didn't sound staticy when I noticed they were back, but I still just turned them off in the settings.

Thanks for checking.
