Static sound when audio playing

Hi,


I recently just got a brand new iPhone XS and noticed straight away that whenever audio is playing there’s a static/crackling sound in the background.


Just wandering if this is a serious issue or something that can easily be solved.

Hello,

Hmm, it shouldn't do that. See these links:

If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker

Resolve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues caused by wireless interference

If no help, take it back to where you got it and have them check it.

Good luck.
