Here are some steps you can take to try to fix crackling noises during phone calls on your iPhone:


  • Check your network signal strength. Make sure you have at least two bars of signal. If you're in an area with poor reception, try moving to a different location.


  • Restart your iPhone. This can sometimes fix software glitches that are causing the crackling noise.


  • Make sure your iPhone software is up to date. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for updates.


  • Check for background interference. If you're in a noisy environment, try moving to a quieter location.


  • Clean your iPhone's microphone. Dirt or debris in the microphone can cause crackling noises. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphone.


  • Reset your network settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will erase your Wi-Fi passwords and Bluetooth devices, so you'll need to re-enter them.  


  • If you're using Bluetooth headphones, try disconnecting them and using the iPhone's built-in speakers.


  • If none of these steps work, you may need to contact Apple support for further assistance.


Hope this helps!
