Has anyone else experienced a problem where the earpiece buzzes when the volume reached a high enough level? For me it happens during the loud part of a word when someone is talking (typically the beginning to the middle of the word), and on the highest two in-call volume settings. I can crank it down two notches and the issue disappears, but it just seems unlikely to me that the highest two settings would be unusable.
I got the same issue too, but only with certain callers though. The worst is when I call *611 to Verizon customer service and listen through the automated rep/music. It would create a buzz or static/distortion sound in the earpiece. Kinda annoying, but luckily I use the bluetooth headset 99% of the time. I just tested the earpiece today on a normal call and can confirm to you that I got similar problem, but again on certain callers only.
Can anybody else confirm this?

A few people have commented to me that when I am speaking to them on my XDA IIs, my voice is very echoy to them. My guess is the mic must be picking up sound from the speaker even though I have the telephone volume a few notches below loudest.
Anyone had similar comments?
I have the exact same problem, someitmes they(ppl I call) say thet its better when I reduce the speaker volume its better but still kind of echoes....
i dont think there is anything that can be done about this,
this happens sometimes on other phones as well. my P800 for example.
although it's just an intermittent event.
When I plug in the headset in it's dead quiet but the minute I start dialing a number from the keypad I immediately hear like faint white noise. I even hear it when on a call, although again it's faint compared to the level of the call itself. Same thing with music although the music drowns it out. Can anyone else confirm the same.
I remember there being a link posted from Anandtech where they tested this phone with the inclusion of the Yamaha chip for audio and noticed this issue. Has something to do with the noise floor in relation to insufficient shielding.
When I used the headset for calls on the Sensation I had none of this, just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
Thanks
I noticed the same thing... Its a bit distracting.... Since its a hardware
issue, I doubt we'll see a fix.
Just wondering if anyone has tried Skype, Google Hangouts or the like where you have the call volume set to max?
I can hear the other party just fine, but they tell me that from my end the sound is very muffled. I finally figured out that I can solve this by turning the volume down 2 or 3 notches, but then I can only make the call in a quiet room or else I can't hear them properly!
I reckon what must be happening is that the phone is trying to compensate for the speaker and mic being so close together (stopping feedback) that at loud volume it just aggressively cancels too much out which then includes my own voice.
So now I think I also know why normal speakerphone/handsfree phone calls are so soft in volume - Sony have deliberately knobbled it as a workaround rather than fixing the core issue. But other apps are allowed to use a higher speaker volume and so run into this issue if using the microphone as well.
So everything about the watch is beautiful except for one annoying fact. Whenever I place a call or receive a call, the sound of the other person is so low, that I can hardly hear them. I have the volume on my phone on high for phone calls and music plays loud on my watch, so what is the deal?
Has anyone else experienced this?? Should I go immediately to the store and get a replacement ASAP? or is this a bug that is common with the update or fixable?
Help a girl out, please!:fingers-crossed:
Have you tried adjusting the volume during a phone call on your phone? I think you have to have an active call to be able to adjust the bluetooth volume.
Hi everyone, to those who received their oneplus 5T, I got a question for you.
Have you all hear a strange noise after each vibrates? Basically, I've been hearing a strange and non-consistent "raindrop" sound after each vibrates.
When I turn on vibrate on tap and set the intensity to high, I can hear this sound after the vibration motor triggers.
Has anyone else experience such issues?
Here is the sound file I uploaded for better clarification:

I hear that on mine as well.
I have a similar experience. However it's very quiet (I don't know how high you numbed up the volume, but I don't have it that hard) and not all the time.
I think I know why:

It's the combination of the speaker and vibration. So no hardware fault. Or at least, I think it's not.
Way to reproduce this sound: Go to settings - sounds - incoming call vibration pattern
Play a little bit and you should hear the "Raindrop" sound.
After you connect some headphones it's totally gone. So hopefully it can be fixed with a software update.
Weird.. I don't hear it when I do that. I only hear it when the speaker is on. Like when unlocking your phone, the speaker will stay one for a couple of seconds (very quite noise, is normal). When you use your home bottom fast a couple of times after unlock you hear the raindrop. When the speaker totally turns off after a couple of seconds you don't hear it anymore.
I think it's due to the vibration resonating with the speaker when on (try it for yourself). This also explains why you don't hear it when using headphones.
The sound is so minimal many users don't realize it I think. It's not a hardware fault I'm guessing, more a disign thing.
I'm having this problem too.. only after the speaker is activated.
Everyone who notice it, please also let know on the OnePlus forum here, also for more information about it (It's probably design related):
