Crackling noise/Feedback on Iphone 11 pro

I’m both relieved and annoyed when reading all these posts. Relieved I’m not the only one experiencing this problem but very annoyed because my iPhone 11 is only a month old. Surely there must be a solution,we can’t have paid so much on a phone to experience this problem.

I have a new 11 Pro, and experience the same problem as described in this thread since day one. I have been talking to Apple support and got some additional things to try. The thing that "solved" my issue with crackling sound while talking over Bluetooth in the car, was turning off the WiFi on the phone. However, I had to do it in the settings, not in the control center.

This is obviously not a solution that I want to live with in the long run.

I don't know if it is a software or a hardware issue.

Currently I'm waiting for some feedback from the Apple support.

i have the iphone 11 and my wife has a 11 pro max. Recently we have noticed that there is crackling or static radio sound from the back panel where the motherboard is placed. the sound is feeble and can be heard when the phone is close to your ears in a quiet environment. The sound gets triggered as soon as you open an app or safari and when the phone is connected to the internet on wifi or LTE. disappointed that these expensive phones have these issues. Apple are you hearing out customer shouts about this crackling issues ?

I had the same problem turns out it was the iphone case. I removed the iphone case and it was fine. Apparently some phone cases dont have enough holes on the bottom for the speakers and microphones to travel sound outwards, instead they just muffle inside the cases and cause static sound when video calling and facetiming

Well then bought my new phone recently and was facing the same issue, the distortion/crackling sound i faced it... and fortunately was able to find a fix turning off Volte and turning off bluetooth fixed my problem. Relax the phone is still great hats off to apple. Will be fixed soon in ios update i guess #appleinc4life

The problem’s occurrence was in a form of sharp noise sound that pops at the very edge of the iPhone’s earpiece. Although it was not totally disruptive during the phone call, it sounds a bit disturbing and annoying. I've got my iPhone from Sefsky

Hi Marion, I am using an Iphone 11Max pro and have been using it for just over 2 months. I am experiencing the same issue where in between a call, i can here like a crackling noise and the person on the other end of the call can hardly hear me.

I just don't know what to do cause it is quite frustrating.

Any suggestions.

YES! My iPhone 11 Pro Max is one month old, and just in the last week or so s I have experienced the crackling noise. I read through every message here and tried every solution, but none worked. I agree with everyone that Apple had better fix this!

Bought my iphone 11just yesterday. I experienced this too when I played music and the volume is in full. Noticed this as well when my sister called me. Hope this gets fixed with an update. A phone with a price like this shouldn’t have problems like this. :(

Just got the new IPhone 11 Pro Max, and as soon as I played a video at about 40% sound I noticed this static/crackling sound. I can’t play music as that’s all I hear, videos same. Received a few phone calls this morning, via WhatsApp and regular, same issue. I’m incredibly disappointed as this seems to be an ongoing problem that Apple isn’t addressing. Rather just return it, since it’s a piece of hot garbage and it’s driving me crazy. Too expensive to have this problem.

I have a brand new iPhone 11. The first phone call I made I could barely hear the person I was talking too, even with the volume turned all the way up. Now there is a crackling sound coming thru the top speaker when I play downloaded music. It sounds like the speaker is blown. Is this a chronic issue with the new iPhone 11s?

FOUND MY PROBLEM ... I was awaiting my new case, so I had left the plastic it came with on the front screen to protect it. until the case arrived. This caused a "crackling" sound from the speaker. Peeled back the plastic, the "crackling" was gone. Put the plastic back in place, the "crackling" returned.

The salesman at the Verizon store also suggested he had seen people put their permanent screen protectors on upside down covering the speaker opening resulting in similar "crackling" noise.

I wish my problem was that simple. :(

I have no plastic on the phone, temp or otherwise and never use a case.

For me, it seems to be more of a problem on phone calls on my second sim (physical sim) rather than on my e-sim line.

Hmmm, I wish it was that, I started this post the moment it hit me the very first time....then the crackling noise was gone, then it came back for one episode about 1 month later, this was in October....since then after many updates and no interference with covers, yesterday it came back, not as load but also with an added feature of hearing me echo....so static and echo. I was talking to someone who has an Iphone 7. It does not happen when I speak to a cell phone android. But I am bummed, because I thought maybe, maybe mine was fixed. I have the Iphone Pro Max 11, and have not switched out, still have my original I pre ordered.

Mine does this when I get a text every now, and then. I’ve had the phone for a week, and it has done it about 6 times. It could be explained as a sizzling sound too. I have not dropped it or, gotten it wet. Wondering if I should return it
