Hi guys, I updated my iPhone 4s from iOS 6.13 to 7.1 yesterday. Since than I have been having a major problem with sound effects on my phone. every time I touch the screen, it's making some weird noises beside sound effects. Well, it's quite difficult to describe that noise, all I can say is that it's really annoying especially if I am typing a message or browsing something on Safari. Anyone else having the same problem? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Shannon.

I have an issue with voice over. Once I updated my voice totally changed. It sounds deeper, kind of scratchy and slightly muffled. Also when I type certain letters like A and H, it sounds like it's saying gay for A and gaich for H. Overall I'm not to happy with the updated voice over and will not be updating my iPad mini.

From what you describe, it sounds like that during the update, the enhanced quality voice somehow got erased or turned off. That deep scratchy voice you're hearing is likely the new compact voice. Try going to Settings\General\Accessibility\VoiceOver\Languages and Dialects and turn enhanced quality on, and if it's already on, you'll need to turn it off and back on, and it should re-download the enhanced quality voice you're used to. Hope this helps.
