We have these hidden push-buttons in Norway as well. I believe they enable an audible cue when the pedestrian light turns green so that visually impaired know when to cross. AFAIK they don't actually affect the cycle of the intersection, it's just for accessibility.

Oh, this makes a lot of sense actually. I never use those anyway, but I will try and observe the next time I see one.
