Just got a new Moto G 2gen 4G. Very nice phone.
However, it has a noticeable annoyance. After a sound has been played, such as a keyboard press, or locking/unlocking the phone, a hiss can be heard in the speakers and after a second or two a popping/clicking sound occurs. It sounds like the audio circuitry is 'powered down'. With headphones, the behavior is the same, but hardly noticeable.
I have not noticed this with other phones before. My Nexus 7 however has the same problem on further inspection, but I hadn't noticed it before, probable because the speaker is located at the back of the tablet and the sound is a little quieter.
Is this normal? I have been researching the problem on the internet, but didn't come to a conclusion.
Any of you guys notice the same behavior? Or have a solution?

Hey everyone!
I'm really excited, yesterday got a brand new Captivate in Canada. I guess I'm one of the first, the actual launch date is the 25th but not every Future Shop follows the rules.
Anyways, here's my problem. I've noticed that any time the phone makes a sound, the speaker will hiss for a second or two. As in while the sound as playing, and for a second or two afterwards. It's not incredibly loud, but it is noticeable. It sounds like white noise, but not as harsh.
I took it back to the Future Shop where I got it, and luckily there was a Samsung rep there. He had never heard of the problem. They said they would do a replacement of the phone, no problem, but I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this or knew of any solutions.
I haven't changed the phone in any way, and it's done it since day one (I guess that's not saying much, this is day two). Pushing on the speaker doesn't help, as suggested in the threads where people have had speaker problems. Anyone else having similar problems?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know that my experience applies to the speaker itself, but I noticed something similar last night when I had headphones plugged into my Cappy.
Whenever I would launch a program, play a sound, etc, I'd notice a very audible hiss/white noise. As this hadn't been an issue earlier, I figured it was something I changed. The first place I had looked was in the TV-out settings, and discovered that I left it enabled. After unchecking the box (Settings > Sound and Display -> TV out), the hiss was gone, or at least barely noticeable.
I find exactly the opposite... The hiss stops completely when headphones are plugged in. No hiss on the headphones or the speaker. TV out is off, as well. Thanks for the response though.
Has anyone observed speaker crackling above mid-volume? My top speaker has a buzzier character that gets more noticeable as you play louder and bassier/fuller sounds. I'm not sure if it's crackling or something rattling inside the case. The lower speaker sounds clear and normal.
I have this as well.

Same
Mine doesn't
I made a short recording to show what I mean. The sample is from plugging in my magnetic cable a couple of times. The charging sound is particularly annoying to hear crackling.
I may have to send my unit back to Clove for warranty service. Bummer.
I have the same issue, and yes, it is the charging sound that is the most annoying, it sounds exactly the same as yours, is if something is loose inside and vibrates.
Until now I was willing to live with it since apart from that I love this device... until yesterday evening that is, when I realized that also the gyroscope calibration is way off (when trying to play Doodle Jump) and there doesn't seem to be a way to do a system-level calibration of that thing anymore. There used to be in older Xperia models in the service menu. Now I'm thinking of sending it back, which I really would rather not, having already configured everything to my liking...
I've had my phone replaced 4 times now, each had a problem. I'm on my 5th Nexus 6 and this one has speaker crackle in the top speaker. I noticed it when I had a Facebook notification, but I haven't heard it since, so obviously. I can only hear it when I play some sort of sound, and afterwards, once the particular sound has finished playing, I hold it right against my ear, and it's sort of like white noise with like crackles and pops in. I can't hear it when it's away from my ear and it doesn't seem to affect call quality.
I've noticed the bottom speaker outputs normal white noise once audio has finished playing, but again, only when holding it up to my ear.
I've read a lot of people have had this, but their replacements seem to do the same thing. Is this worth a replacement (in my case a refund, I don't want a sixth phone) or is it just one of those things that won't really affect the phone?
Move doesn't appear to get any worse when the battery is lower either. It's constant when Google Music is open, when a song is on pause, but I only know this because I held it right against my ear.
Surely, if it was a defective speaker, the speaker wouldn't sound as good as it does playing audio?
Anybody else's so this?

Hello,
I have the same problem. It's a low frequency noise... after each sound, but only if you hold it to your ear.
Let me tell you that, that does not affects the overall product. I have deal with lots of FACTORY BUGS (like Sensation 4G BT antenna) and so on, but this 1 sec low frequency does not affect as much.
For me is only more noticeable when on low battery.
Hope this helps!:good:
I think it's more of a software issue, are you completely stock? I flash a lot of Roms. There are some I get the crackle noise some that I don't. I also use lean kernel which has updated audio and display drivers... No crackle or pops for me in quite a long time
Is it definitely a software problem? I read online about people saying its hardware, but if it is software I'll keep it. If not I'll have to send it back Monday... would a factory reset do anything?
And yes, completely stock.
And same, mine is worse when on low battery. If I play a game with sound off, there's this constant buzz coming from the top speaker.
I've used N5 until last tuesday, and then been using N6.
I'm satisfied with N6, but I have one problem.
I'm using the same earphone, the same music file, only different phone, but I can hear disturbing white noise at lower volume levels.
I'm quite sensitive to white noise and could also hear some white noise from my old N5, but that didn't quite affect my music.
this time it's just too much and sometimes garbles some specific notes.
I sometimes listen to music when I don't get sleep well, so I occasionally set volume level to 1 hence the problem really annoys me.
Is there anyone experiencing same problem?
Also, Is there any workaround to resolve this easily? Even if it is faluty product, I got this from ebay and the warranty is not covered in my country...
Hello everyone, I recently purchased a pixel 7, I noticed that at maximum volume, sometimes you can hear some kind of crackling from the speakers, similar to a metallic rattling. If you make it quieter, it seems to pass, surprisingly it does not always happen that way. There is music where everything is perfect, and there is one that is almost impossible to listen to, for example YotClub - YKWIM?, from the first seconds there is already a crackling or rattling, this can also be found sometimes on YouTube, in some videos this also happens. Tell me, is this a problem in the phone or a soft one? Once again, this does not happen everywhere.
