Maybe electrical interference?
Move the tablet away from any other electronic devices (especially mobile phones) and see if it persists.
It hasnt really been near any phones..my phone is about 1 foot away from the touchpad..I have had it closer before and it hasn't made a noise..
I think I know what you mean, the sound is like a short buzz or "Donk" sound. I sometimes get it when I first click on the pad or when I swipe up to close an app.
The only thing I can think of that I did was installing the increase sound patch and later removed the patch. It started after that.

I got this after going through various patches, although I didn't install the sound patch. It went away for me after a few reboots.
To the OP, you may have abnormally good hearing and can hear the white noise speakers make when they're activated, try it with some other devices, see if you hear the same buzz, if not, call HP and get a replacement.

Touchpad weird sound
Ok so i just got my Touchpad 16GB yesterday and while i was playing around with it, i noticed it doing a weird sound like when those old speakers where powered on. I updated to 3.0.2 and it still does it.
Ps: Its not the WEE easteregg sound
Not sure what sound you mean but it shouldn't be making any noises you don't want it to. Get in touch with HP to see if they can fix it for you.

Well, i bought it from ebay (from canada) so im not sure if they will even think about checking it.
It makes that sound only when its not in 'mute' and when im using it. When the screen is locked, nothing happens. It sounds like a little shutter noise of half a second length.
When I shake the phone there's a rattling noise, it could be the battery or something like that, is this normal or should I take it back to store?

Unless it's loud and feels like something has fallen off, it might be the camera or the accelerometer.
Accelerometer is an aside, no audible moving parts.

just gave mine a shake and i will admit im not in the quietest office but i could not hear anything. If i was you i would take to the store to be safe i mean they should just straight swap it over.
I meant to type "ASIC," silly autocorrect changed it on my atrix.

Yup, I have that too. I noticed it when I followed the 'shake' tip in App Highlights.
It's like one of the bigger parts isn't secured, possibly the battery. It makes a muffled click-clack noise when I shake the phone. But I have to really shake it, when I turn it over or move swiftly it doesn't occur.
Just to let everyone know (esp the guy above me) I took it back and got a replacement, the replacement makes no noise on shake at all so it definitely is some kind of fault (albeit a small one).
Like, robinVerdegaal says I think it was the battery. Mine was pretty loud (you could hear it rattle in a loud room) and I also noticed it when using the Suprise Me function on the App Highlights app.
Thanks brummiesteven. I didn't have a real problem with the loose part, but as I've also had a couple of touchscreen and touchbutton freezes (see this thread) I'll probably go and get a replacement as well.

I think that may be a software problem, I too have a similar issue, screen works fine but none of the buttons on the side work, volume, power, camera etc. It only happens when connected to power which is why I think it's a software problem.
I got my Rezound right after Black Friday, and have had it about 6 days.
My fiance and her dad both complain that my voice sometimes goes in and out for a bit sometimes, making it hard to hear me, or not hearing me at all. At the same location I wipe out my incredible and it does fine, for a phone call that last 2 hours. This has happened quite a few times.
This isnt isolated to just my apartment, it happens everywhere i guess. I have an HTC Incredible that never gives me this issue.
I've pulled the battery, did a factor reset, did a prl update, but nothing seems to fix the problem. And of course the problem isnt consistent since it happens whenever it wants.
I noticed the phone also has a mic on the back, so I have tried to hold the phone differently to see if thats an issue, but the problem still happens.
Anyone else with the same issue? Amazon said they would just ship me another phone. I guess I will chalk this up to a hardware issue.
That was pretty much the only issue i've had, so I'm praying that the one they send isnt one having some of the other issues i've been reading about.
Could just be a faulty phone. But I have seen a review state that it happened to him too, could just be a bad batch. You never want to do a PRL update with 4G phones, *228 is not necessary for these devices. Also by doing *228 on a 4G device, you have a chance of frying your SIM chip. I'd say give the new device a shot and see what happens and if it still cuts out or not. If it still does then it could just be the device needs an update from HTC. I personally have not had this issue happen to me. Hope it works out for you.
I'm really not trying to offend and it sounds like you have tried to deal with this issue already BUT...
Is it possible you could still occasionally be covering up the main mic on the bottom of the phone while holding it? I use my pinky finger on the bottom of the phone to help support it/hold it up and have now had to train myself to be careful not to cover the mic on the bottom of the phone (on my OG Droid it was on the front face of the phone). You may have a real hardware issue with your phone, but maybe do a test where you cover it up on a call to the same people that had trouble hearing you before and ask them if it sounds similar?
Good luck!
Thanks

You have seen a review that had a posssible bad phone that had problems with his voice being heard too? Do you by chance iknow where I can view that review?
Either way, thanks for the info, and tip on *228. I plan on trying the new device and hopefully it goes well.

Not offended at all. You know I thought that too, so I started watching how I held it. I tried holding it different and nothing changed. The bottom mic im used to since I believe the Incredible had one in the same location.
I also tried to keep my hand somewhat off the microphone on the back also.
I tried covering up mics and was unable to decide if that was the issue. The replacement will be here in 2 days, so i play to play with this one some more till then.
You brought up a good point though, and something that I have been keeping my eye on.
Thanks.

http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/14/2557172/htc-rezound-review is where I saw the comment about the calls. No problem! Hope the 2nd phone doesn't have this issue for you.
I've also had a complaint about this, its only been from one person though. And he as commented on it sounding like I was muffled and he will interrupt and ask how I'm holding it, I was holding the phone normally and not destructively each time :-\ he hasn't said anything about it in a few days though, idk if its the phone or the network lol :-\ but... Ive also had this issue, I'm kind of scared to get another one because of all the other issues some people are having with them.
Edit: also I tried to catch it happening by recording audio for about an hour with my phone in front of the TV and it never happened. So idk :-\

My girlfriend has also began complaining about this.
The only possible explanation I can work up is that I've noticed it happens when my mouth isn't close and directly in front of the mic. So maybe the noise cancelling mic's on the back of the phone are picking up my voice also and therefore cancelling them out.

I also think the same tbh... I'm thinking that one gets too sensitive possibly, because I've been told it happens, when I notice that I talk louder or closer to the mic. And it doesn't do it all the time. Its very limited and random, I think its only happened like 3 or 4 times total, since I've had it... I wonder if it is the noise canceling being too sensitive. I bet a software update would fix it.
I was thinking that If it was the mic messing up it would happen more often. but I made a post about it I think a week or so ago, glad I'm not crazy though :-D
Edit: err.. I just realized my otterbox commuter case covers those back mics. I have a whole in the side at the top where that one is though. I suppose I could be touching that one some how, but what does that one even do lol?

Well at least i'm not alone. Her dad complained about it first, then she did. I've never had this kind of issue, so I assumed it was there phone.
I even called my third's line google voice number and recorded myself walking around talking on the phone, to myself. I'm sure the neighbors might think i'm nuts at this point.
I listened to the recording, and I didnt hear any issues. *sigh* Well, if its how i'm talking into the phone, I don't know what to do about that. I've been talking on the rezound like I have every cell phone that i've ever owned.
I dont 'death grip' the phone, and I hold it like normal. Would hate to think I'd have to baby how I hold the rezound, but eh, anything can happen.
If my next phone does this, I guess I have to decide if I have to listen to her complain, or get a different phone (unless I write HTC and see if they have a fix on the horizon software wise). Bad thing is there is no other phone close to the Rezound right now.
I don't want to deal with a Razr right now, with having a non replaceable battery (by normal means), plus i'm not into motorola.
The holes on the back are NOT mics.
The mic is on the side. Those holes are antenna traces.

Funny story: The day I got my phone I put it together, turned it on, did initial setup, and out of habit from flashing Dinc ROMS every other day for the last year I immediately did a *22899 and it popped up some message basically saying "don't do this" so I'm not even sure it will let you "fry" your SIM chip by doing the update.
Alright, so I'm on Notorious ROM right now, but no matter what ROM I try, the thing I'm about to explain stays the same.
You know that tone you hear when you press the volume buttons in the home screen? To change the ringtone volume... It's all clear when that happens. By clear I mean no LOUD noise is coming out of the speaker. Only one thing. When you press the up/down volume buttons in the homescreen, or when "Audible selection" (under Settings -> Sound) is checked and you touch the phone (you know, some tone is being played)... I can hear a background noise like that fuss you hear on a Radio when it's not tuned right. It's not loud, but it's there.
But whenever I play a media (movie, game, I don't know), I hear a constant noise coming through the speaker. You know, like a FM radio isn't tuned right... just WORSE. For example, I play a game with the lowest volume - it sucks.
Can you try this for me, please? Put yourself in a quiet room and start a game or a musical or something, and turn the volume to the lowest. See if you can hear that... If you can't, put the speaker next to your ear.
I really am looking forward to your feedback. I'm starting to believe it's a hardware issue, but a software one, as well (otherwise that noise wouldn't be heard only when media is played). PLEASE !
Many phones will do this when they are plugged in and charging. Is it doing it when your phone is running on battery only? If that is the case you can always buy a filter for your AUX cord.

Thats what I figured...But the Aux cord filter that he was talking about is only for using a cable to connect the phone to the line in of another device. I tried it over and over again and the only thing I hear is my music (very softly because i turned it down as low as I could). My friend has an atrix too and he could not replicate this either.

Breaking the screen
The first one hard bricked, the day I got it when I attempted to unlock the bootloader...It was only an hour after I got it so I took it to AT&T and they replaced it. I guess they figured I couldn't have done that much damage in 45 minutes
The second one slid out of my back pocket as I was getting out of the car without me realizing it. It slid right in the door frame and when I closed the car door, the phone bent and the screen cracked. Since the main board was cracked, it quit booting =P I've had my current one though for 6 months and haven't had an issue. (I do have an otterbox defender on it)

That's exactly what I did with a friend of mine. We went to the shop for him to buy a HTC Desire, then we went to a McDonalds and I tried to unlock it. When the radio was flashing, he mistakenly pulled the cable - brick transformation!!! Then we went back to the store (20 minutes later), told them the phone was not booting anymore.

There's something in that phrase that doesn't make sense there... but yeah, I got the last part of it, so case closed .

To protect my ATRIX, I have a MOMAX iCase Pro case on it. It snaps on so fast & easy, that it is just as easy to take off... so if you drop the phone, the case snaps off from the corner it lands. That happened to me. Lucky me, the crappy plastic of the phone barely got scratched on its right "cheek"... Need a new case (this one is rather used) or a tighter / thicker one. Oh well...
I'm at lost here I'm not sure whether to exchange my LG g3 for something else . some of my apps are not compatible with 4.4.2 with no update in site and being with in my 14 days not sure what to do . verizon is willing to work with me . coming for the note 3 to LG g3 I have to say I'm disappointed . any help would be appreciated.
Just got unlocked if that matters for you.
I really like mine and I'm keeping it but I think it's a dying phone as far as support goes (both official and from the hacking community).
This is especially true for the Verizon version.
The support the phone receives in the next 8 or 9 months before the G4 is available is what is going to make up my mind up about whether I stick with LG or jump back to the Samsung Galaxy line.
The G3/GS4/Note4 are the only flagship phones I would consider right now because I want a replaceable battery. Options are really limited for those of us who like to be able to carry an extra battery when we are going to have a really long day with heavy usage.

I'm thinking of selling mine as well. Still getting callers telling me I am muffled, under water, fading and so forth. I'm one of those rare folks for whom making calls is important. Never had any of these problems with my previous phone a Razr Maxx.

I've done some experimenting with the issue because it happens to me on just about every call that goes more than say a couple of minutes or so.
For me, it has never failed even a single time when I use my BT headset or the BT in the car.
In fact just yesterday, I was on a call and the person on the other end was complaining I was fading in and out. I hot swapped to my BT headset and we talked for about 45 minutes without a single problem.
So that leads me to conclude, that at least for my phone, it is the microphone or the audio processing within the phone and most likely not a radio problem.
Also when it does fail, re positioning the phone or talking loudly into the microphone seems to "wake it up" temporarily.
It also fails on speakerphone BTW.
I've seen some hits on the net regarding others with this problem and I suspect it is wide spread however most people are inclined to blame it on the cell connection etc.
I might try LG warranty repair first before selling and see if they can either fix/replace it.
It might just end up being an inherent design problem in the hardware which would be really bad.
Anyone hear a light crackling and buzzing sound during silent portions of a call through regular ear speaker?

Yes. There is a crackling sound on every single call I get now. I can even hear it while they are talking. It's not loud enough to make it so you can't hear the other person but it is annoying.
I didn't notice it for the first couple of weeks I had the phone but I've noticed for at least 2 weeks now on every single call.
As for the problem of people not hearing me, that was solved by holding the bottom of the phone closer to my mouth. I have a tendency to angle the phone away from my head when talking and it seems like the mic in the G3 is terrible and just doesn't pick sound up very well at more than a couple inches from your mouth.

I am trying to gather all the info I can on the issue. It seems like it's not affecting different phones just depends on how people hold it.
I preemptively disabled the voice enhancement setting just to be safe.
I placed several test calls to another cell and land-line and I heard no crackling. And my voice sounded just fine.
I am very curious to see if our update to hd calling improves the issue.
The sound I heard was so faint it was only noticeable during a pause. It was very reminiscent of signal interference. Maybe there's something not shielded correctly in the speaker or the antenna is too close?
I think the two issues are separate. Because the one time I had complaints it happened with phone, hangout voice call, and video, over speaker, mic, and headset. Hopefully disabling that voice enhancement fixes it.
Alright...
The bootlaoder is (basically) unlocked, you can get a free battery and cradle if you ask for it from LG, you can root/recovery/flash in @5 steps or less using stump/bump/flashify, and you can flash Jasmine(the phone JUST got TWRP!) ROM right now.
What more do you want?
Just go buy your iPhone/S5/locked down Note and stop bugging the rest of us who love our G3.
The G3 is a great phone and the devs are just getting started.
Hang in there.

Of course the G3 is a great phone, but that doesn't negate the fact that people are having problems with call quality. And it's rather odd, at least to me, that people seem to describe the symptoms the same way.
With all the phones I have owned/own, this one is the only one that I constantly have others telling me I'm:
1. Fading out.
2. Sound underwater.
3. Sound muffled.
4. Sound robotic/electronic voice like.
Some things I have discovered, only because I make a lot of calls.
1. Never happens with a BT wireless.
2. Never happens with a wired headset.
3. Never happens with speakerphone.
4. Re-positioning the phone so the bottom mic is above my mouth fixes it. This is not a solution because now the my ear rests in the middle of the screen, almost, not on the speaker.
My guess is that either the mic is not sensitive enough OR that fancy noise reduction/voice enhancement chip LG brags about is running amok somehow.
Reading the boards and even the reviews I realize that actually making phone calls with a phone seems to be an afterthought (see how little space the typical review gives to call quality) but for some of us it's more important than running YouTube at some insane resolution.
I do suspect that the reason the net isn't flooded with complaints is due to the fact that most people will blame this on cell technology and just the nature of the beast.
And that is understandable to a point.
I'm not interested much in rooting the phone.
I just want a phone I can make calls from where I don't have to be constantly re-positioning it so the other person can hear me.
That shouldn't be asking too much for a top tier phone.
This is Verizon BTW.

Of course the G3 is a great phone, but that doesn't negate the fact that people are having problems with call quality. And it's rather odd, at least to me, that people seem to describe the symptoms the same way.
With all the phones I have owned/own, this one is the only one that I constantly have others telling me I'm:
1. Fading out.
2. Sound underwater.
3. Sound muffled.
4. Sound robotic/electronic voice like.
Some things I have discovered, only because I make a lot of calls.
1. Never happens with a BT wireless.
2. Never happens with a wired headset.
3. Never happens with speakerphone.
4. Re-positioning the phone so the bottom mic is above my mouth fixes it. This is not a solution because now the my ear rests in the middle of the screen, almost, not on the speaker.

This will probably be fixed, we haven't even got an update yet.

I agree with you Chilidog !
That's why I am sticking with the phone.
I love everything else about this phone.
I must be lucky. The only time I had issues was after I rooted the phone. Once I restored the original ROM the issues completely went away. While I was rooted I had intermittent Wi-Fi, battery drain, and slow apps. Now I've used the phone at work all day and still have 60% battery left. My work Wi-Fi stayed connected all day and no voice quality issues. I've had all 3 Samsung Notes and I love the G3.
Just wondering, but has anyone tried disabling the noise suppression or voice enhancement settings under Settings > Call? These options don't affect BT.

The Verizon version only has the Voice Enhancement setting and yes I have tried it both ways with no difference.
The android lollipop update is rumored for the end of 2014. It will probably fix a lot of the sluggishness and call quality problems as well as add better support for ART runtime and loads of other new features.
