I have also a ticking sound, but I don't now if it is the same as described here. I use my Jolla C usually only at home to play some games, because it is my backup device (It's to big for me and I'm missing compass and gyro).

Every time I play the game Twenty I have horrible ticking sounds all the time. I don't know where it comes from. For me it doesn't sounds like the camera but the speakers. I only have this sound on my Jolla C, not on Jolla 1. Can you confirm that? Is it the same ticking sound?

A recent development in the matter for me is that the ticking is now also when phone is in use and it doesn't help to uncover the camera lens. I took some pictures yesterday and the problem got worse. No problems with focus (atm I have focus on infinity).

In my AquaFish the ticking sound was reduced to almost non-existent after I powered off the device, moved the battery back and forth sideways without removing it, and rebooted. This implies that it might be related to bad contact or insufficient current availability if using the phone with increased power drain. Before, the ticking sound was slowly getting worse over months. It became prominent when wlan was used with heavy apps like here maps. I also heard it during a phone call if wlan was active simultaneously with browser on. Anyway now I have one tick at the time, very rarely, still related to increased power consumption and wlan combined. Using 2.0.5.6.

Intex Aquafish when connecting headphones a weird humming sound exists as well prior to launch of any music app, to me its the DAC or circuitboard is not shielded properly or leaking current otherwise through software bugs.

I should add humming sound only exists when plugged into USB charger at the same time. I am using a high quality iPad Apple OEM charger, it would be strange but appears to add to the humming sounds.
