Odd Sound Glitch since iOS 26.1

Good day to you all!

I noticed an odd behavior since updating my iPhone 15 Pro Max to iOS 26.1 and was wondering if others had also encountered this behavior as well.

It appears that when the on-screen keyboard appears, the sound that it makes jutters for a second or two, kind of like a Jack Hammer!

Now the only workaround I discovered that resolves this issue is to open the VoiceOver settings, navigate to Audio, then Sounds and Haptics, navigate by heading to System, and toggle off the sounds for both the "Keyboard Appear" and "Keyboard Disappear" items.

This isn't a major issue, as it doesn't bother me either way whether or not the sounds for the keyboard are on or off, but like I said, this only started since updating to iOS 26.1 and got me wondering if anyone else came across this glitch.

Thanks!
