The only help to recommend is to take your iPhone 16 Pro Max to an Apple Store or authorized Apple service provider. Do NOT take it to a third party repair shop. Let Apple examine it. If still under warranty it will be repaired or replaced if found to be defective. It would be good if you can demonstrate the problem in person.

I just submitted my phone in an authorised service centre, upon examining through their tool it showed there was no fault but upon examining personally the technician acknowledged there is indeed some crackling and buzzing at full volume they said they will replace only the speaker. Hoping it would work fine although i’m sceptical but worth taking a shot. Only a month old 16 pm no drops no liquid damages. Let’s see what happens!
