Go somewhere very silent.Its not the vibration.I can "hear" the vibration and lets say at the same time the "click" and after milliseconds the "clack"

I just hear the vibration and then the sound.

I bought two galaxy nexus units from unlocked-mobiles. They both do the clack sound, one just much louder than the other .
I can only hear it if I put my ear right beside the speaker with one unit but with the other unit, it's quite loud. I can clearly hear it from arm's length with this second unit.
If I plug in my headphones, I can barely hear the clack sound from both units. Therefore I think the clack sound is either part of "click" sound file or it's just the speaker terminating the "click" sound file. If you can hear it loudly, you either have a defective speaker or low quality headphones. Either way, it's annoying to hear on the one unit whose external speaker "clacks" loudly.
Samsung's quality control is pretty disappointing. The unit that "clacks" loudly has already suffered from the "sleep of death" twice, and I've only had these phones for 24 hours! I'm all the way in Canada and so it's a pain to mail the defective unit back to the UK.

They mentioned no fix.They said this is how speaker works BUT i asked supercurio for this issue (he doesnt have the device, he just read the thread) and here the answer
"Looks like pop-in and pop-out.
Means through hardware design or sound driver design are not very good for this codec."

I wouldn't say case closed.
With one of my devices, it's hardly noticeable (which is the way it supposed to be) so I don't mind at all. With the other I can clearly hear it from arm's length so it's a problem.

Obviously.Case closed goes for my case .Its not so loud.But in your case you must ask for replacement. The think is that everybody has it (other lower and other louder) and google/samsung must look at it.Maybe the solution is "simple" as supercurio quote (codec) or harder (bad hardware).If the problem (yes its a problem, i had sgs1,htc desire hd,nexus s, sgs2 and none of them has this issue and believe me from day one i check for pixels, speaker quality etc etc) is hardware then google/samsung you have a problem

Hello guys this is also my fault if we want to call it, but on a page of code.google there is a page to know the problem at the big G.
Who has this problem can visit this page and present it.
Bye

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22307

Yes i have this issue, thanks for the page wollyka i forgot it for posting.

All I hear is the sound it's supposed to make, nothing after. I turned off vibration and held it right to my hear and tried loads of times... all I hear is the single touch sound!

They're called Touch Sounds, its a feature, and you disable them under the sound settings.
Settings>Sound> uncheck Touch sounds.
This isn't a new feature either...

Either:
a) I'm just lucky because I don't have it; or
b) You guys are incredibly stupid and don't realise that the first sound you can hear is the vibrate and the second is the touch sound which you turned on

Low External Volume "FIXED"

So, as this issue has been reported many times and even apps created to fix this problem with no luck, Now i've actually found a proper way to fix this issue... take a dry toothbrush and gently poke the bristles through the little holes on the back... thus fixed my issue and now my phone is super loud again! =) Hope this helps with anyone who has this problem

Done this to get all the crap outta my Ear piece also! Can see the LED and Now it sounds like my missus is shouting at me on the phone (not sure what i have done now lol! )

Any ideas for why my internal sound (through headphones) is so quiet?
Its not too bad through stock player, but any other player I use makes it sound like they're whispering. But stock player doesn't have a play by rating feature.

Well, other than the Volume+ app on the market, maybe your headphones are knackered? or use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790558, you know the drill, flash via recovery, that should increase volume... i've got mine always on 40% as any higher and my ears bleed, and I'm deaf lol!

External speaker issues

Is somebody experiencing issues with the external speaker? Everything was normal until suddenly the speaker started to sound like is broken. I am using viper audio and I am not sure if this is making the problem. But, somebody can tell me what can I do?

Actually I realized that my external speaker is damaged (even if I don't know how it happened) in conclusion I decided to buy the the spare part at zandparts. Believe me or not this is a great phone and having a galaxy note 3 too, I prefer this one a thousand of times.

Update***
I replaced the speaker and everything is working fine again

I got scared, because the same thing happened to me and all i had to do was press on the speaker and it worked, on the back press on the mesh and it might work.! hope it helps

My speaker was broken too but it's very easy to replace it and the speaker's price is very low on aliexpress or ebay. I found a how to on ifixit.com

Aha. It seems that i'm not the only one. I replaced the speaker in March in ASUS service center and it breaks again now.

hi all, experiencing same problem with my zenfone 2, sent the device to a local repair shop but they said that problem with the chip on the board.
They changed 2 speakers and same problem, what you guys think ?
The thing is that I could still hear some sound at very high frequency but things such as music or youtube no.

T-mobile Note7 speaker issues

So I've had my note 7 for about 2 days now and I've notice the sound quality of the loud speaker is terrible. It has a crackling sound and the volume is extremely low. It sounds loud and very clear after I restart the phone, but after about 30 minutes it happens again. Ive tried factory reset 3 times already. It works fine after a reset, but the problem reoccurs. This happens when I watch YouTube, playing a ring tone, and using the speakerphone during a call. I've never dropped it or gotten it wet. Trying to see if anyone else have this issue. Or perhaps it's my unit.

I had the same problem as well and not only the speaker but the ear speaker was low on volume, now after a couple of days it seems better but the sound quality is like its muzzled up. I spoke with tmobile and they said to send it in. only thing is that if you dont have an extra phone u will probably be without it for a couple of days.

I have the same problem that the max volume is really low. When the phone rings I can hardly hear it ring at max volume. Max Volume is like half volume on my s6 edge plus.

In a way I was hoping I was the only one and that my unit was defective. This sucks that others are having this issue. I advice you guys to call Tmo and have them do a return for you under the buyer's remorse return policy. They will actually overnight you a new one and you can return yours once you receive the new one. They will also give you a return label so you don't have to pay for it. That's what I did and in fact my new phone will arrive later today. If the rep you speak to won't do it (which I highly doubt) ask to speak to a supervisor.

When you get the replacement, let me know if your new unit has the same issue or if the new unit still has low volume. From what I am reading it seems to be a problem across all of them.
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app

So after 3 days with the new unit, I did not have the same issue. Both speakers and volume work perfectly fine. I spent a bit more time on YouTube, listening to music, and watching Netflix more than usual and everything seems to work fine. Doesn't really matter much now that the recall is in placed.

[Q] Note 4 - Camera buzzing

Camera now buzzes like a mosquito and has problems focusing, particularly in low or well lit areas. Do I need to replace the camera hardware itself or is there something I can do to fix? A hard reset & clearing caches did not help.

Mine did this twice, I had too many programs open once and second time I received a call during video recording of newborn meets sister for first time very disturbing to find out after the recording the sound was messed up. At least the video was ok on the baby shot. But the previous the video was shaking also.
Are you OK on memory? You have

Yes, I am good on memory. I agree that the sound is terrible when it does this...Do you still experience this?

Finally, I thought I was the only one. Usually when it starts buzzing I smack it a bit to stop and then I can focus. It's gotten worse and worse though. I'm thinking it might be a hardware issue

No but I did hear the mic making funky buzzing sounds last week and now I'm having battery issues. I'm thinking I may flash my twrp backup file. I need to back up phone first.

I don't think its hardware but it may if you smack it around.
It down sent help I dropped in water last week. Phone got better after the mishap.

I've seen many posts about this around the internet and from what I've read it does seem to be faulty hardware. Not faulty enough that it will cause an issue, but enough that it creates this annoying sound. I've had this buzzing/whirring/mosquito sound (that I can actually feel, holding the phone near the camera) for about 6 months now. I haven't had any issues running any software though. The biggest culprit is using snapchat for me. It happens almost 100% of the time.

I read on some forum(can't remember which at the moment) that if you place a strong magnet by the camera while it's buzzing, the sound should cease. It's not a permanent fix but it's something.

Interesting...
I have deeply considered replacing the camera itself...especially now that the Note 7 is done. I just don't want the hassle of taking this apart.
