So that's what yours is doing also?
Mine did the same thing, I think its nice rather than a blaring noise right off the bat. The speakers are very loud so that may be why?
OK just wanted to make sure. Usually its an optional setting.
I was thinking the same thing, mine did it from i took it out of the box.. i am going to assume as you seem to be having the same behavior that it is standard.
It is designed to be this way, the speakerphone should do the same....
Motorola have confirmed.

I wonder if there is a way to disable it, since I actually prefer to know when I have my phone ringing rather than have me know only in the middle of it ringing.

I've been really satisfied with the overall performance and feel of the Nexus 5. The only problem I have with the device is the anemic speaker quality. I feel like I get more vibration from the phone than I actually get sound out of the device.
Its not a deal breaker for me (I'd rather have a reference device than speakers on the front that sound good like the HTC One) but it is a concern. Not sure if I'll be able to even hear it ring in louder environments.
I think the speaker is like 1000x better than the Nexus 4 speaker.
I don't like the placement of the speaker. I keep putting my thumb over it cause of the way I hold my phone.

Funny, one of the reviewers on Youtube said that the speaker was incredibly loud. Search for Androidizen's hands on.
I agree. Speakers suck in this phone. However that is only if you turn the volume all the way up. If you leave it at 80% sound is clear. Not too loud though....

Its reasons like this that almost anything you read has to be taken with a grain of salt, some say the speaker is loud, others say its barely audible. I mean come on, how can anyone make an informed decision when every detail of the phone gets praises and boos at the same time.

Coming from the Galaxy S &Note range for the past 4 years I jave to say this pjone has the worst speakers I've. Evwr used. Guess that's where they cut the price on. The sound is tiny~! >.<

I read lot of posts where people is asking himself if the nexus 5 vibration is normal or not (seems like a truck). I'm here to CLARIFY the question. I can do this because fortunately i bought 2 phones (1 for me and 1 for my girlfriend) and i have 1 faulty and 1 not.
To explain better i can 100% says that the sounds i listened into the defect thread is exactly like my phone (the faulty one - 32gb white) and the other one (32 gb - black) is totally DIFFERENT AND NORMAL, so guys i know lot of you are happy to have a vibrator in their hands but trust me and check with someone else you meet : is FAULTY ,the right one is normal, like any other phone (to be honest isn't a good quality vibration like my htc one for example, but it doesn't sound loud as the faulty).
and few words about this:
I know guys that everyone here loves google, me too, but i'm objective. If you sell a phone and for example os is not 100% stable, i can understand, i wait updates and it's ok; if you don't put a 2$ earphones inside, i can accept, but if you sell phones with dead pixels, dust under screen, faulty and crappy vibrator motors, faulty screens, faulty buttons with rattle, here is a question of QUALITY and PLEASE don't say me that the phone is low cost. I PAID 410 EUROS, not 100 and if go to a market and i buy a cheap phone (100euro) i don't have rattle or something like this. We can say that they don't do quality control process properly and that a BIG company like google MUST check this and the data that confirm my ideas is the form that users here have compiled: only 38% of phones are resulted with NO DEFECTS, all others with SAME PROBLEMS, so it's not just a feeling. It's a Real problem...
my suggestion is : DO RMA until it's possible, my MONEY wasn't with dust, or it wasn't rattling...
hope to have done a useful thing

it's okay, he's European.
I paused every single time i saw those "...". Damn it lol
Lol...I´d suggest waiting for the 2nd or 3rd charge or just replace the motor yourself (it is glued to the BACKPLATE, so it´s VERY easy ) - at the moment with my personal experience, there are more faulty motors than correct ones..it might just be something like the Power Button rattle, easy to fix. I have had hands on 5 devices (including mine) - ALL of them did that Chirping sound when typing on the keyboard ( all of them were black, if it matters ). So RMA´ing now will most likely not result in a perfect device. You just might get a worse one..
So again: Wait a few months and then RMA -> until then JUST DEACTIVATE the vibration on keypress - this is an easy fix as the chirping noise only occurs on very short vibrations rhythms (e.g typing on the keyboard)
Here a sound example what everybody is talking about:

Greetings and sorry for the bad English grammar - I´m European aswell :S
I'm very confused about what is written in the OP.
What is wrong with the vibration motors? I noticed mine is not as strong as the one in my GS3, but that's about it.

I just did a bunch of typing on the keyboard while keeping the phone near my ear to hear what it sounded like. I didn't hear/feel anything abnormal.
I tried slow one-letter-at-a-time and rapid typing.
Crap...I was hoping for it to be "normal"...guess I have to RMA then..what a DRAG! Waiting again for a new device and transferring ownership from the previous owner..seriously, why is this so hard, google?

You definitely have a faulty motor.I listened to your sound file and it's terrible; my Moto X doesn't even sound that bad and it has a loose motor. I can barely here the one in my N5 but I can feel its vibes.
Sent from my Hammerhead
wow...there is LOT of nitpicking going on.
The vibration is fine..... you feel subtle vibration while typing and the "noise".... i only heard when i had the phone's back against my ear....plus it's the same sound i've heard come out of all phones that use a linear oscillator vibration motor.

Mine makes no sound what so ever. Only the keyboard click from SwiftKey. Not even up against my ear. In fact when the phone was up against my ear I couldn't even hear the click sound from SwiftKey. No sound whatsoever.

it's impossible that there is "no sound whatsoever" if your vibration is on for the keyboard. Do you even have haptic feedback on in swiftkey?

Umm it's not impossible and yes I do have it enabled and actually have the haptic set to 20ms which is longer than default.

Mine sounds perfectly normal so far. it's actually quieter than my htc one s.
I rarely use the speaker while on a phone call, but today while on a call I noticed that while the other person talks, or makes any noise, I hear a slight static in the background. It's more pronounced if I have the speaker volume as low as it goes (still on speaker mode.)
If anybody can test it and let me know if they have it too, an easy way would be to just call a 1-800 number, such as 1-800-BEST-BUY. I'm curious to see if my speakers are starting to go out.
Once again, the issue is only there while they're making a sound of any kind. If they're quiet, there is no static.
Thanks!
[EDIT]
I just noticed it happens in non-speaker mode as well. Maybe it's just the fact that it's a phone call and it's not meant to be crystal clear?

on 4.4? and are you getting decent reception? sometimes its just Sprint lol
Yeah, 4.4.2, and reception is fine. It's slightly there with headphones, so I'm thinking it's just the fact that it's a phone call, and phone call quality is never the greatest.
My one does the same randomly. I find that calling back using gvoice makes everything clear. With all this NSA mess who knows

Anyone else less then impressed by the max headphone volume on the Nexus 6? I mean, it's better than the Nexus 5 was by far, but I was really hoping that the volume on this would be comparable to the iPhone and it isn't. Otherwise I love this phone, it's awesome in every other way.
Anyone have any mods/apps that could help correct this issue? That's what I had to do with my Nexus 5 to get it to a point I liked.
System/ect/mixer_paths.xml. That was the file we changed on the g3. It's there just don't know what values need to change.

I've used that with my nexus 5 and it worked good. I've been very impressed with the n6 compared to my n5, galaxy s4 and galaxy nexus. I've never had iproduct before which is probably why I'm so pleased with the audio out on the n6.

I use Viper4AndroidFX and it has a large number of sound mods in there that can get your sound higher quality.
very unimpressive coming from the HTC One m8. Boomsound through the headphones was very good.
I always use bluetooth headsets, and sometimes I wish the volume would go up one or two bumps higher... I also had the same issue with my Nexus 4 and 5, so I'm kinda used to it now. I suppose it's better for my ears this way anyway.

A little more information would be helpful. Was it ever loud enough or has it always been low? If it used to be loud, when did the issue start? Is it low only with phone calls or do music and videos still play loud?

If it is still under warranty and you have done a factory reset to see if that fixes it....then take it back to Verizon.
Word I might take it back to Verizon like basically have to no one has a fix so 8 dont know it sucks it's so low

Yeah if you didn't do any modifications and didn't physically damage the phone, sounds like it's a hardware issue and Verizon should take care it.
