Hello randy7179,
Let's use the steps below to make sure this isn't related to a complication with your microphones:
1. Remove any screen protectors, films, or cases from your iPhone.
2. Clear any debris from the openings of your iPhone.
1. Open the Voice Memos app.
2. Tap the Record button, speak at the bottom of your phone, then stop the recording.
3. When you play back the memo, you should hear your voice clearly.
1. Open the Camera app.
2. Record a video while speaking at the top of your iPhone.
3. Tap the camera chooserto switch to the other camera. Then record another video while speaking at the top of your iPhone.
4. When you play back the videos, you should hear your voice clearly.
