Speaker sounds rattley /distorted - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have had this phone for a while now,but have been using Bluetooth for audio,but last night me and wife was comparing speakers (she has a nexus 6),I know no comparison. ..but on certain ringtones,or videos turning it up over half way sounds really rattley/distorted metallic sounding,when on call on speaker phone does same thing,wondering if this is normal?

Like with the stock ringtone quantum bells?Anybody?lol

Have a mild volume increase mod on mine on lollipop and at full volume today both my custom ringtones and notification tones sounded perfectly normal and non distorted.
I don't use any of the preloaded stuff so cannot comment on that.

I have troubles with speaker on XDA Diamond

Okay guys, hello to all!
I have the same problem as SergeyBE told here:2-3 month ago I got installed "IncreaseVol.cab", it's was better sound during the call, but twoo weeks ago it's beginning rattling and noising. Now I can hear just durring the call just if I push the button "Speaker", if I play mp3, it's sounds like it have to be.
So my speaker (which one when I listening to someone during the call) so it blowed up Yeah, there is noise and really bad bad sound But that speaker which is for when phone is ringing or listening to the music works fine after the boost! Now my phone is repairing but I want to increase a ring volume and volume when listening to the music (or watching video) without increasing volume parametres for the speaker which is working during the call!
So can anyone help me here? Does anybody here have original audiopara3 file with increased only Ring volume and Multimedia volume? or can somebody here make it for me? thanks a lot in advance
so nobody here can help me?!!
really maybe you know what parameters do I need to change for boosting only ring speaker?
I think i have the same problem. After playing with some roms, especially the udk syrius HD rom (beta 4 and 5) wich boost the volume - i now have troubles with the speaker during a phone call.
The strange thing is:
- they hear me fine; so the mic is not the problem.
- if i use a bluetooth carkit, the reception is fine. No noise in the call.
- if i play music or watch youtube, the speakers are fine.
- but if i make a call, i get noise to a terrible extend that i can hardly understand what the other site is talking about.
yeah the same and I had - so you need only to change the speaker
but I don't now what to do now - I don;t want to blow my speaker again, so I wanna just an audiopara3 file to boost ring volume and that is all
If you are talking about German O2 Xda Daimond (like mine), I had the same problem after month of usage - my speaker first started cracking and then sound disappered at all. I got it fixed under warranty, they replaced it. Looks like it is some sort of hardware flaw.
so after this case you have changed again your audiopara3 file and now the sound is boosted yeah? during the call and when the phone rings?
I called HTC and they said it needs repair. By now the speaker looks totally broken.
Nice thing is that UPS picked up the phone at my house.
what is UPS?

easy... highly modded audiopara3.cvs can broke (partially) the small speaker membrane... it's not a issue of the modded file itself... but the membrane is very thin so a too high volume can make damages on long run
okay so how I know there is 2 speakers in Diamond - 1. External - for listening to the music, watching videos, when the phone rings
2. Internal, when you are listening to somebody during the call
so I want to know how to increase in audiopara3 parametres only for increasing external speaker, when the phone rings
is it possible?

Speaker Distortion

So for the last few days I've been having this really bad distortion coming from the back loud speaker whenever I try to play games, listen to music or anything. I've tried messin with the volume but its still distorted pretty bad. I'm not sure what's caused this? I've tried factory resets but nothing I've done so far has fixed it. Any ideas?
No ones had this issue?

Sounds like a hardware issue more than anything.

i'm in similar boat...only way i can talk on phone now is by putting caller on speaker phone - not ideal! my speaker started sounding awful about 2 weeks ago. i've temporarily purchased samsung charge (don't like it) and plan to return it before 14 days. will probably purchase bionic but wish i could wait til newer offerings coming out in oct-nov. speaker is hardware issue as noted by other response. bummer for you, bummer for me!
when I set both those utilities in CM7 that have sound equializer in them and set them to max bass and played music at 85%+ it sounds distorted too.
Mine is distorted at any sound level

I really don't know how you want people to answer your question.
It depends on:
opinion
music
mods
head/earphones
And more

not really
i was just asking whether it was louder than the z1c
well I cant compare it to a z1c but I can compare it to a 5s and Nexus 5. The internal speakers are louder than the 5s and Nexus 5. The headphone jack output is terrible. It is by far the quietest I have ever heard. I must have the volume on my stereo up over 1/2 before it can even be heard. With the Nexus it was bad but not this bad, the 5s was great. It would only need to be at 1/4 for comfortable listening. This is easily 1/3 as loud as the iphone was.
Bluetooth audio out will blow the speakers if the volume is not adjusted down after using the headphone jack.
I can compare to the Galaxy S5 I had before. Unfortunately the in call headset is much lower in volume, I have to push it to almost max to hear someone loud enough when I am outside, compared to the S5 when I only kept it at around 50-75% mark.
Also, during calls, only the bottom speaker activates when you want to talk hands free which is a bummer. They should activate both via firmware update.
i have Z1C and wonder too if z3C is louder, my loudest phone what i had was Motorola Defy+ )

Couldn't believe it when I read the above, but yes, tested it and it's true. I mean, is there any reason why only the lower speaker activates? Sony, please enable both, we want to be fully able to use the phone in hands-free mode!
Besides that, to me, the volume of the earpiece counts most for everyday situations. And this is where the Z3C really shines. Never had a phone such loud and clear.
I must admit I've thought I was on speaker phone when I get calls, the earpiece speaker is really loud and clear.

There must be something wrong with my phone because the incall volume is sooooo low.
in call volume is fine, although i have it permanently at 100%. speakerphone is really quite quiet, especially when compared to Samsung phones. must be something that can be tweaked with root, or via official Sony update, as notifications, ringtones, music, etc. are quite decent volume.
headphone volume isn't spectacular (again, Samsung seems to amp this more), but really it's fine.

[Q] Top speaker louder than bottom

Listening to music and noticed the top speaker is significantly louder than the bottom. Has anyone else experienced this? Im currently on Pure Shamu 2.6 and am going to restore back to stock to see if that might be the issue, just wanted to see if it might just be my unit.
me as well, looked it up and found your thread
I have noticed that also.
Hi, could everyone that has the nexus 6 with the top speaker that is louder, put there ring tone volume on 100 or 75 and play your ring tones and confirm if you have some distortion with some of the ring tones, kind of sounds like a blown speaker, a raddle like sound, and also make a speaker phone call to see if you hear it as well, don't really hear it when playing music, just on rings and speaker phone at a higher volume
I think I've narrowed it down to Viper sound. I reflashed back to stock and the speakers worked normally. Then i reflashed pure rom and speakers still worked. Gonna test on my next to be sure.
Well I'm on a stock ROM since I bought this phone and I noticed that the top speaker plays louder. It's a bit annoying because I'm the kind of perfectionist person...

speakr stop to work calling but youtube works fine

Since I bought the z3c speaker was very low, but after one year and a half it became more and more lower, now still it's working playing music or youtube, alarm .... but when I call stops to work and I can not lisenting nothing persons can ear to me., sometimes they tell me that they lisent to me with a buggy sound
Other thing I feel was that headphones seems sound lower now as well.
Using *#*#7378423#*#* I look for test service and speakers and speaker right works with a low sound but works, but when I try left speaker does not work.
Has z3c left and right speaker? why on hell works on youtube but calling stops to work, maybe is the speaker?
I have tried differents roms, open bootloader and change kernel but still happens.
I'm thinking about to buy speaker and change it, Do you think is speaker problem? I saw loud speaker and ear speaker what is diference? maybe I should change both and mic phone ass well and is anyone speaker louder thand others?
Thank you
Anyone knows a good speakers for z3c or seller is phone parts? I saw on eBay and alien a lot of cheaper speakers, about 2€, I don't trust their speakers are original like they claim.
Any help please, anyone change the speakers?
