[Q] Help - with Background noise - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with background noise when on a call and if so are there any solutions.
People say it sounds like I'm in a busy train station when I'm in a relativley quiet office.
I used to have an iPhone that cut out background noise, but its like this phone doesn't have that feature.
Also when it picks up background noise, it puts other people who are speaking on mute, as thought it thinks I'm talking so they should be muted.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Slight "Processing" sound when on phone calls?

Is anyone else getting a very slight "processing-type" sound when on phone calls? It's hardly enough to notice and I only hear it when the other person and I are completely silent, but it's there. I was just wondering if it's only my phone or all of them. It's not really loud enough to complain about, just asking out of curiosity.
What does a processing-type sound, sound like?
Like your computer when it is processing something, or maybe when the hard drive is being read, though not as loud as either of those obviously since it's so small. It's hard to explain, but if you listen closely when no one is talking but a phone call is in progress, you should hear it.
Hard drives make clicking sounds.
The disks also make a slight "whirring" noise which is more of what I was referring to.
EDIT: I listened to it again and this doesn't really accurately describe it. It's very hard for me to explain and as I said it's so quiet that it's really a non-issue, just a curiosity I guess. If anyone else happens to notice it at some point, let me know, if not then no worries.
Ahhh. See now we are getting somewhere. I know what you're referring to. That's interference you're hearing most likely. Remember back when if you put your old GSM phone near some speakers you'd occasionally hear weird sounds kinda like a chirping and buzzing etc? You still get that nowadays but its not as profound. Its just a small whining sound. As long as you have a speaker and you have something emitting radiowaves near it, you will have speaker feedback
Oh I know that sound. If I put my phone near my speaker after sending a text or anything it does that. I would say it could possibly be a very quiet version of this, but to me it sounds like the sound is coming from the phone itself and not the speaker, but only when on a phone call. I'm not sure about that though and you may be right about it just being some sort of interference - could be that it's just fooling my ears into thinking it's not coming from the speaker since it doesn't fit in at all with the rest of the call.
I mean nothing else on the phone actually makes noise, aside from the small click that the power and volume keys make. You don't hear electricity or data moving through memory or the cpu etc...

[Q] HELP!!! Sensitive speakers/highbackround noise when in call

Hi guys im running CM7 and when im in a phone call people struggle to hear me as they can hear everything in the background really loud? almost like all background noise is enhanced its wierd.
Any suggestions?

Cracking issues with Note 4 speakers, but only in real specific scenarios.

I am wondering if anyone else has this issue. I notice a wierd cracking issue with the WhatsApp notification sound (the ones you can't change) I then also noticed that I hear the same for the new Google Messenger app and it's unique notification sound. Watching movies or music, or any other sounds don't give this behavior. Just wondering if it is just me or any ideas? Thanks everyone!

I get this sound on some notifications once in a while. Doesn't bother me too much to be honest. I wonder why this happens.
Honestly I haven't noticed this issue but it is more than possible that if the sound is usually good on movies, music, etc and then when it gets to certain sounds it cracks, it can be a big chance that the files pitch is too high for our speaker. The speaker quality seems great and that's coming from someone who owned the HTC One M8.
Try this turn off your phone then before turning back on stick your ear to your speaker while the phone is booting up I hear like a bzzzzzzz for a moment an then it goes out completely I guess it is the speaker turning on ready for all the sounds

[Q] When you answer a call do you hear the quality change within a few seconds?

I am on Sprint and I noticed when I answer a phone call and some says hello they sound a little more crisp, but within a few seconds its almost like a noise reduction kicks in and it makes the call sound more like it has minor background noise or something. Its hard to explain, but its a noticeable difference of some kind in sound.
I am not sure where/if this phone has a noise reduction mic? Perhaps its that dot on the camera lens area on the back? I don't think the normal mic shares this feature if it has it?
Regardless I just wondered if anyone else knows what I am talking about? Is it an adjustment in the call quality within seconds of talking to someone, and is it normal I guess is my main concern.
Thanks!
Appears many notice this issue with the speaker white noise.

in-call 'demonic' sounding echo of other end's voice. HELP! please.

During calls. Other person's voice echos distorted like almost a weird demonic sort of sound (could it be possessed? ?) which in all seriousness is just an echo likened to an overspill problem, or the other person's voice is picked up again by the mic and it's damn annoying during calls as it's an uneccessary tedious problem. A phone by a company like Sony, with its specs at release and even now! I've tried the microphone suppression and it does nothing, I've tinkered with mixer paths... Equaliser bright... Nothing does any difference. Sony help sites are atrocious, no solution. Sure the phone is still usable in other ways but it's defeating the fundamental point and main feature. Can anyone help me in my last cry for help before I throw it into the massive pond beside my house.
Cheers. ?
