Is anyone having the issue where the audio is crackling? Out both my speaker and even over Bluetooth. I'm trying to figure out is it's the Rom or my phone.
Wow I just started using Play Music and I'm hearing the same thing. I'm on redruM lean v2.1.

I believe the volumes in the phone is wrong, I think they did it to sound more loud, but I don't like it sometimes

I get the same issue too, but only when music is NOT playing. Basically if I have my phone in plugged in through the headphone jack it start to make this sound. It can be rather annoying and it reminds me of when like the sound on my ipod is WAY louder than the sound I have set through my speakers and you get this humming sound. What I have noticed though, is if I just turn the sound down faintly instead of pausing. I don't hear the sound.
I am hearing little bubbling sounds when listening to Slacker Radio. I thought some app was running in background (had something like this with Hanging With Friends on my Galaxy Note), but still occurs if every other app is closed.
Wow you got to be kidding me. My X2 does this all the time and it's annoying. Looks like I may have to use supercharger on this phone too.
What rom are you all using??
Exchange the phone. My replacement sound fine. You have 35 days to return the defected phone. I'm still waiting for a way to reset the custom binary count before I send it back.
So it kinda depends on who I am talking with and the environment I am in. But in general the in-call volume is pretty low that even I am at home, I need to shut the window so I can reduce the noise from passing by cars and turn off the cylindrical fans (this type of fan is kinda loud on max level). When I turn on the hearing aid, it's plenty loud. But sometimes it is too loud that it's making me deaf. With hearing aid turned on, the volume rocker won't work anymore. I am pretty much just stuck with the max volume. I was wondering if anyone knows a solution to this dilemma?
I have the same issue with in call volume

I think it's the phone, I've used many cell phones and the evo, I find the front speaker is also to low, any loud noise forget about hearing a conversation

Yeah my phone had the same problem. I was using headphones when receiving a call, but I got tired of that so I decided to take it in for repairs.
In the meantime, I'm stuck with a cheap Samsung Intercept loaner phone until my phone gets fixed. For now, I guess you can use some headphones if you have any lying around.
Honestly i dont have a big problem with this but sometimes when i set alarm or get a msg(apart from notification light) i dont hear clear sound of it ringing cause it back is covered.. For me is sometimes annoying but idk is it a problem for u?

Well, I can deal with it. But my notification volume is always near max because of this.
I'd like phone designers to do something about it.
I remember some old mid-range Nokia phones that had better STEREO sound you could enjoy listening music with.
You would expect this too from an expensive modern phone.
I don't have a problem with it - the vibration alone across my desk is enough to make me jump when I'm focusing on something else.
Lol its just that im not kinda good with it.. Its not a problem its sometimes annoying

I've been using a Note 2 demo unit for the past two days and have noticed that during a call, and the other person is talking, I can hear a "hiss/white nose" around the voice in the earpiece speaker. But when the person isn't talking, there is no hiss. I tried this with several calls (and also 1-800 recordings) and can hear it for every call. I'm not sure what the cause is, but it is quite distracting.
On the GS3 is does have a slight hiss, but it is hardly noticeable. The Droid DNA doesn't have any hiss during calls.
Since I wasn't sure if it could just be an issue just this Note 2, I stopped by a store on my way home today and tried the Note 2 that was on display. It has the same hiss/white noise that I'm getting on my unit.
Has anyone else noticed this on their phone?
I'm thinking it may have to do with the Note 2 using P_Rev 6 and the EVRC-B Vocoder. In my area, the regular EVRC sounds better than EVRC-B, but I don't see any way of changing it on the Note 2. I've changed between the P_Rev and Vocoders on other phones by doing ##PROGRAM, but that command doesn't work on the Note 2.

I had the same problem on my first Note 2. Took back to Verizon and replacement had the same issue. Was going to get a third one but the CSR tried it out and heard the same thing on the 3rd one so just returned it all together. Awesome phone otherwise but I make a lot of calls in a quite office, and with no other sounds it was really annoying.
Here is another thread with same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021447
Really hope it is just a bad batch. I'm going to give it a few weeks and try another one.
I have the same issue, for what it's worth. However, I'm lucky enough to almost never use my phone to make phone calls so I can live with it.

I can't wait till some one comes in here and claims they don't have the problem lol. "My device is a special snowflake out of the manufacturing plant that doesn't exhibit this problem at all!"

I've definitely noticed the hissing but honestly haven't noticed it since the first couple days of having the device. Going to pay attention the rest of the week and see if I still have it. I use speaker phone or etymotic ear buds with mic 95% of the time however

I just started noticing it with headphones. Light hiss behind notification sounds, stops just a moment after the sound. Hmph. Not sure how I feel about it. It's pretty distracting.

I have it but don't mind it too much. Probably because it's better than the tinny distortion I had on the Thunderbolt! I've noticed the headphone jack must be better too. Much less hissing when listening to music with headphones...at least compared to the TB. I can't believe I had that TB for so long...so...painful...

Yeah man, same here. I pick it up every once in awhile now and just hold it in my hands and laugh. What a piece of garbage.
First and last HTC device. They're still making twitter posts saying they're still working on ICS for the Thunderbolt............. loooooool
Had a tb too. Held it today. . It's so bricklike in comparison! Not to mention the problems in function. Think I'm over the light hiss now. ..rarely have headphones in and not listening to music anyway so rarely have a chance v to notice it.

Does turning off noise reduction (menu during call) address this problem at all?
Just an update on my previous post. I made a couple somewhat long calls today and I did not hear the background noise on the other end the way I had in the early days of the phone. Either it is simply a sporadic issue or it has worked itself out somehow.

I don't think it's a noise reduction issue. With noise reduction on or off, Voicemail calls sounded perfect. No hiss or anything. And I am quite sure of what the hiss sounds like, so I know what to listen for.
I'm wondering if it's just a case of the person you're talking to having a crap phone that has outgoing issues. It doesn't do it when I call my brother on his Note 2, just some other people. Wierd.

I've also noticed who I call makes a difference in when I hear it, though I've heard it at least once with everyone who I've talked to... Some every time some only randomly... weird.
Definitely flippin annoying when you pay attention to it...

So in the past two weeks since I posted about this, I've tried calling a few people and tested it out, and I hear it on every call.
When the person on the other end is quiet, there is no hiss in the Note 2's earpiece speaker. But when the person talks, you can hear the hiss "surround" each word.
I've also tried it with the noise reduction feature on and off, and it doesn't make any difference.
Hi,
Does it happen when using bluetooth?
Thanks,
Bryan
I hope it is software not hardware. Was thinking about getting a Note II but this flaw would render this phone unusable to me, I use my phone as a phone a lot.
When I make a call on my Sony Z2 the call volume is shockingly bad, its very low and I struggle to hear at times, Tried standard call,viber and Line all the same, Popped sim in my old IPhone and volume is so much louder and clearer, any fix for this or am I stuck with a phone that doesn't do what it says

Same for me. It's one of the only things that I'm REALLY disappointed about with my Z2.
Same with me as well and Z2 being my first Sony device I feel as if they rolled out a beta version of handset to the public

No problems with call volume here. Both ends of the call loud and clear.

Have the same issue here. Came from a Z1c and the call quality is so much better on Z1c. I send sony a mail with my complaints and suggest you all do the same. Maybe they will do something about it if more people complains.

Ya, call volume is not that good, speaker phone too, it maybe hardware related.
