Easily distorted speaker? Grainy sound - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Is it just me or is the Samsung Galaxy S9+ speaker easily distorted when in maximum volume akin to a busted speaker. Music will be grainy evidently enough when playing the 'Over the Horizon ringtone' in maximum volume.

I sometimes get distorted sound when unlocking the phone. i.e. the unlocking sound sometimes (rarely) sounds distorted.

Same here. Hopefully they can fine tune it in an update?

[Q] crackle noise in the speaker

Hi people, I have got a problem and will be thankful if you help me. The phone speaker works fine but I can hear a little crackle noise when the volume is high in high frequency sounds. For example it can be heard when the mother nature ringtone is playing in high volume. It sounds like a resonance in the speaker. In some reviews there have been arguments about the speaker quality of s3, wanna know if it happens to you too. Thanks
Any help?plz

I see Htc never addressed the poor audio compression in video recordings

Not a gripe...
No change to the sound quality after ICS. Figures ehh.. bad compression in sound still present.. I'm still having to use lgcamera for video. I love that app but I wish the dev would fix the screen cropping, aspect ratio and improper scaling. What apps do you use for video recording?
they fixed the clicks and pops though. That was the huge problem we all complained to htc about and it seems they fixed it... so that's good lol

Yeah, the beeping noise is gone. But I still woukdnt recommend using it in loud environments such as around loud music or crowds. It gives it a robotic swishy effect. Rather annoying and makes some sounds difficult to interpret.
They just figure that suckers for "Beats Audio" don't know what sound quality is.

Some people like the bass heavy , weak midtones and boosted highs , I personally dont. If you are a rap junkie...then yah..shoot. Its ok..but I have a wide music listening taste. Also being an audiophile has that weird effect...

yep, almost positive thats the noice cancellation messing everything up, but joe never figured out how to truly disable it

The frequency curve on Beats is even weirder than most bass-heavy headphones though, at least on the un-EQ'ed headphones. On the standard Beats earbuds (not sure about the iBeats...never seen any tests on them), the low bass is actually suppressed, and the mid-high bass is boosted way up. The mids are actually suppressed (most bass-heavy sets just flatten them), and the highs peak in a weird place instead of just tapering like most bass-heavy sets. I don't mind a bit of bass-heaviness in headphones...you aren't getting the floor-shaking, chest-vibrating feedback of large speakers, so heavier bass helps bring the lows out of the mix, but the weirdness in the low bass and the suppressed mids explains why Beats just sounds like mud to me.

Yes..that was my first thought early in the year because this seems to be mostly audible when louder low to mid bass frequncies are prominent. But it also resembles bad audio compression or a codec problem. Noise cancellation needs the second mic to wirk, so if this is the case .....then why is it still heard during a stereo recording? The second mic signal is being routed to the input mixer/gain amp then to the audio codec...instead of the noise cancelation system. Idk if thats hardware built in or software.
@Shrike , yes the ibeats earbuds do suck. Very muddy sound. I do like their fit tho..

[Q] Galaxy S3 Loudspeaker distortion when on maximum volume

Hey guys,
I’ve just bought myself a white GSIII and has recently noticed that if I play sounds from any source (YouTube, Videos Player, Music Player, ringtone) etc, on near maximum volume, the sound on the loudspeaker becomes a bit distorted/ muffled. It plays fine on low volumes. I wonder if it was the way the metal plate grill on the loudspeaker was designed; how it has a lot of small holes on it and perhaps these limit the amount of noise coming out from it.
Does any of you guys experience a similar issue?
Thanks in advance.

Notification sounds distorted

Just upgraded from S2 to S3. Phone is amazing but have noticed a small issue where some of the notification tones are distorted when playing out the speaker. Some are fine but others such as Flowers and Charming bell sound distorted and a bit buzzy.
Is this normal or should I get it checked? I know it's a small thing but I checked with earphones and it's not the tones themselves. Perhaps they are just played at too louder volume?
Thanks.

The phone speaker rattles at high volume.
Welcome to cheap, sloppy mass production. (Wait until your bezel chips or cracks too. Or you get dust in strange places)

Phone Speaker is crackly and tingy

Anyone else find that the speaker on the Moto Z to be awful at loud volumes? Mine is tingy, muffled and just distorted at high volumes. Even when talking on the phone.

Mine is okay. It certainly isn't great at load volumes, but I guess that's to be expected by a combined ear piece/mono speaker. It isn't worse than my OPO for sure. The sound isn't distorted on high volumes tho, it just sounds a bit worse than on lower volumes
Mine also has the cracking sound a few months after I purchased my phone.
What I did was to CLEAN the speaker with a cloth (something that can get inside the mouth, a bit damp).
My speaker was covered with DUST and this caused the cracking sound.
After thoroughly cleaning it, my phone sounds better now (the crackling noise was ALMOST gone).
