So the thing is that people in Zoom calls keep tapping the screens with nails and it produces unpleasant loud “popping” sounds (same like in the video in the link lower). So I’m worried if those sounds can damage the speakers. Or is it safe? Or should I stop using my iPad for these calls to prevent damage?
iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell
Unless the iPad volume is increased to a very high level for long periods - and the sound becomes distorted due to excessive volume - no harm should occur to the internal speakers. This applies to all kind of sound, music included.
Distortion can occur when the amplified signal becomes greater than the electronics can handle - leading to a phenomenon known as “clipping”. This can, in extreme circumstances lead to damage of audio transducers (such as your speakers), but for practical purposes is perhaps unlikely to occur unless your push your volume setting to maximum.
I usually have it at about 70% for the duration of the calls. “the sound becomes distorted” do you mean the sound as like the specific sound becomes distorted and then the other sounds are normal or as in the sound overall becomes distorted?
Even if “maxed out”, your iPad should be fine.
If increasing the volume causes distortion to become evident, then you should reduce the volume to remove the distortion.
So I should be okay and can continue with using it for the calls if I don’t max the volume out right?
Thanks very much
Can nail tapping sounds damage iPad Pro speakers?
