Sometimes I notice this as well and sometimes I can't tell there is a difference.
The difference is really really small, can't tell unless I hold my ear right next to the speakers.
Are you experiencing a bigger difference? Enough to get annoyed by it? Because if so, hurry and send it in for repair! Thats my advice.

Bottom Speaker Louder then Top?

As the subject states.
I'm noticing my bottom speaker is massively louder then the top speaker when playing music and when in call on loudspeaker.
I test by simply covering one of the speakers. The effext is very evident.
The top speaker is very low compared to bottom.
Is anyone else noticing this or has my top speaker failed on me?

I'm noticing the same thing. Balance seems to be off.

If you have had it like that since the beginning you are most likely experiencing the same problem i had.
When the phone was built in the factory, a small plastic piece above the speaker wasn't removed correctly so it muffled the speaker. It went under the warranty cause it's a a problem from the factory

Starting to think this is normal?!
Which is weird.
I say normal. Because I just ran the rest on my girlfriends z3c and she notices the same low sound from top speaker.
Lame.
Gonna go test this is store on the demo models see if this is indeed normal...

Tried the demo model in store today I can confirm that both top and bottom speakers provided an EQUAL level of sound (when playing music at least.)
Unlike my phone which has clearly suffered over time through no direct fault of my own.
Sending it back tomorrow

Dual speakers not working

I am unsure how the dual speakers are set up (one on bottom plus the earpiece or both on the bottom) but my phone only has sound from the bottom left speaker hole. I do not see any settings to enable or disable the stereo speakers. Has anyone else experienced this issue and is there a fix? Or do I just have a lemon?

Same here. 2/3 bottom left 1/3 from earpiece. Did you Figuren out if it is a Problem vor a "feature"?

A lot of phones have dual grilles at the bottom but it doesn't mean they have two speakers there. I think Axon M has one speaker at the top and one at the bottom. If you are watching a video at landscape orientation, both speakers are used at tandem.

I think you're right. Most reviews also speak of one bottom speaker.
It's a bit strange anyways, that the earpiece speaker's volume is about the half of the bottom speaker. So the stereo effect is a bit weak. It's ok for me and it sounds quiet good but compared to my former Axon 7 it is a definite degradation.

Question on Note 9 notification volume

I have an S9+ and it has a software issue(pretty much all of them) in which notifications only play via the bottom speaker and not both
I was curious if the Note 9 has this software issue as well
Its easy to test for. Goto your settings and then goto sounds and vibration and then notification sound. Simply select something and see if it plays on both the speakers (earpiece and bottom)

Just through the bottom speaker (nothing through earpiece).

Nah man, we dont need stereo notifs, we just need to hear them at all

I'm not sure its an oversight. If you had the volume raised to a high level and an alarm triggered while you were on the phone, it could possibly cause ear pain / damage. Samsung lawyers probably had something to do with keeping the alarm ringing on the lower speaker only!

Do the top and bottom speakers have same sound level?

My top speaker does not have much sound as the bottom one, is this expected?

this is normal

My wife's Samsung Note 9 is the same way.
OP7T (I think it was the t model) actually has a true second speaker (in addition to the ear piece speaker) so the sound is more even. YouTuber JerryRigEverything did a tear down and pointed out the fact it had a true second speaker.

Have any of you tried switching to Mono audio in the Accessibility settings. I've seen where it can make it louder.
