Crackling Noise when there is sound - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep getting a crackling noise whenever there is any sound. Rather it be during calls, notifications, videos, music. A consistent crackling noise comes out of the bottom speaker. I put on some headphones and played a youtube video and I do not get that crackling noise through the headphones. I've turned off all the audio effects, I restarted the phone, and I've even done a factory reset, all to no avail. I am getting it replaced, but is there anything that can be done to correct this or is it just a lemon?

Sound distortion when playing mp3s

Hi.
Sometimes sound becomes distorted when i play mp3s. I use the handsfree that came with the phone.
When sound gets distorted....if i lower the volume ...about 2 bars lower sound becomes clear but volume is to low...
When everything is ok, i can set the volume all the way up without any distortion. I play the same song to make the test.
I tried with another motorola handsfree (it plays in mono) and when there is sound distortion, i can hear it with the motorola handsfree too...so i don't think that is a headphones issue.
I'm using deathnoise's rom...i was using another...but i had the same issue.
Can i do something?
Thanks!...
Edit:
Two examples of distorted and clean sound. Recorded from the headphones' output of qtek 2020i to PC.

[Q] My headphones are scratchy on my One, any way to fix?

Hi,
I've got beautiful Sennheiser Momentum's here and I've got a problem. They make scratchy noises in higher pitches, say slow or silent songs with high voices. This happens with Beats off at the last two volume settings and with Beats On even before that. The same mp3 does not sound scratchy when I play it over my PC with the same headphones plugged in. It's defnitely the phone because the In ears that came with the phone sound equally scratchy at exact the same volumes.
Is there any way to equalize the standard audio settings without having to use another audio player? I am running ARHD 31.6 and tried it with and without PureXAudio, doesn't change anything.
I reset my phone now to make sure the XAudio-stuff isnt flying around, but the problem remains. But I think I found the culprit, the particular song where you can hear it really good simply seems to be too low on volume in the file itself - i can barely endure other songs at that volume, very loud, so I think the song has a low db and the htc just isn't that good when it comes to making songs loud and so it starts to scratch. Is there any way or EQ that can fix that or a normalizer?
I have noticed that my phones speaker was louder and better clarity on first use but after that it went downhill from there. My phone is currently in for repair due to a total speaker failure after the phone got really hot while using a CM 10.2 ROM, do not know if that was the reason but that was the ROM I was using at the time.
Well my best guess is that the built in EQ isn't the best out there and causes screeching in some frequencies. I can't notice anything in most of the songs but there are some which are problematic constantly and they are 320kbps and sound fine on my pc.

No sound from my external speaker

My phone is around 3 months old
Speaker was playing all sounds just fine till yesterday
I get sound through my headphones too
But there is no sound whatsoever from speaker when playing music, ringtone or notification
It's NOT a software issue, that I am 100% sure
I tried blowing air into my speaker and suddenly sound came for just a moment, then no sound
I tried putting headphones into the jack and out, still no sound
Can anybody help me if you have faced the same problem?

M7 In Call Volume Super Low but Media Volumes are fine

So I used a toothbrush to clean the top grill speaker since it was buzzing a lot and now the speakers sound as new when I play music or YouTube videos. But now, in call volume is so low you can basically not even hear it. I put it on max and it helps a little but not even able to hear anything, anyone know a fix?

Video noise

Does any one else notice a strange noise that's very faint when playing back a video recorded on the phone? Can hear it more through headphones. Hard to describe. It's like a slight clicking or interference noise. Have to listen hard to know it's there without headphones.
Anyone checked theirs for me please? Need to know if I need to return. Cheers.
Im not sure if i understood you correctly, but i lowered media volume to 0, and played video from a gallery - couldn't hear anything.
BUT What i noticed earlier, when you open Camera app, and put a phone to your ear (like when you are on a call) you can hear some white noise, like a sea
It's when you've filmed a video on the phone and playing it back. Only when recording zoomed out. When you soon in it stops. Not sure how to upload a sample video. Sounds kind of like crickets.

Hello, I am with Huawei P30Pro Android 10, I just wanted to share my experience with you about the noise. I heard it, too! I wanted to record a very low noise from an amplifier (I was nearby the speaker, so the zoom was 1x), like if it has hum or some tweeting noise from the speakers when it is not playing any music and the volume is on Max. And then I have noticed the same ticking noise when I played the recorded video on my computer. I thought it is some problem with the computer. But then I played it on my phone, for security, and I heard it again, but I had to increase the phone volume, otherwise is not so noticeable. So I thing, when you have this noise, too, it should be produced somehow from the phone by video recording and it should be some kind of common issue, not only by your phone.
I hope this info help you. So, the problem is not only in your device! In mine, too, and probably in everyone's else!
Best regards
It's Radio interference. Probably from gps/lte/wifi antennae etc. Turn airplane mode, ticking is gone. You're welcome!
