iPhone XR makes crackling/ popping noises?

Hiya. Recently I’ve noticed my iPhone XR makes these popping noises. It’s most often when I’m not even playing any audio just randomly. I’m really confused because it doesn’t affect audio when I do play music or watch a video etc. It’s a new phone so I hope it’s not broken or anything! Please somebody help

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Hello, aroojxi!


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! From your post, it sounds like you're noticing unexpected sounds from your iPhone when there's no audio playing. We know this can be concerning and would like to help.


Do you notice any notifications coming in when the sound goes off, or is there a pattern to when it happens?


You'll want to make sure you have the latest iOS version installed on your iPhone, which can help with many one-off type issues. For help with updates:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If this persists, Contact Apple Support.


Best wishes!
