iPhone 17 plays repeating sound loop after update

Set Settings → Accessibility → Audio/Visual → Background Sounds [Off]

Update: I did switch off my phone n post switching on I did not face this issue. It’s been 4 weeks. So I guess it was not due to recent update

Expressing or conveying auditory experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging. The underlying sound issue on your iPhone cannot be accurately diagnosed from a YouTube link. Factors such as your iPhone's specific sound settings, visual defects, and potential hardware problems cannot be assessed through this method. For more personalized and in-depth assistance, I recommend securing a Genius Bar Reservation and exploring the various support options provided by Apple.

Repeated sound loop is not caused by an iOS update!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!

Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

See what each update does: OS — iOS 26, About iOS 18 Updates, About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...

Hi , I am also noticing this post recent update 26.3 . When ever I get a standard cellular call , the moment I try to receive the last part of ringtone keeps on repeating till the other person speaks

What type of sound keeps repeating?

• Is it your own voice echoing back?
• The other person’s voice looping?
• A system tone or click?
• A notification alert?
• Or a Bluetooth echo from a connected device?

when calling is the most often,

What Call? On an iPhone, you can make and receive various types of calls. Here are the different types:

1. These are standard voice calls made over the cellular network. They utilize your carrier's voice network to connect you with other phone numbers. Allow phone calls on your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac
2. FaceTime Audio allows you to make voice calls over Wi-Fi or cellular data using your internet connection. It provides higher audio quality compared to traditional cellular calls.
3. FaceTime Video enables you to have video calls with other FaceTime users. It uses the front or rear camera on your iPhone to transmit live video during the call. Use FaceTime with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support (IN)
4. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls use internet connectivity to make phone calls. Apps like Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, and Google Hangouts utilize this technology, allowing you to make voice and video calls over the Internet.
5. Some carriers support Wi-Fi calling, which allows you to make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network instead of relying solely on cellular coverage. This can be useful in areas with weak cellular reception. Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling - Apple Support (IN)
6. The App Store offers numerous calling apps that utilize different technologies. These apps can provide additional features and options for making calls, such as international calling, call recording, and more.

It's important to note that the availability of certain call types may depend on your iPhone model, iOS version, and carrier.

So the same thing is happing to me. It started when I got the phone from the first day (in December). It happened for about a month then stopped for a bit and now it’s come back in the last week. I don’t think it’s the update because it’s been happening since I first bought the phone.

Mine did not stop, I got my 17 pro max a few days ago and it makes a loop sound every time someone calls me and it does not stop until I answer the call or decline the call, I did restart my phone but it does not stop

iPhone 17 Pro Max

I can’t get this audio look glitch to stop. If my phone is ringing, and I answer it, the other person can hear it if I have it on speakerphone and other time I have to keep it on speakerphone because it keeps playing if I take it off. Anytime I send an audio message. The sound that the phone makes one message sent continues to glitch and my phone has been running super slow, and I barely have 5% of my memory filled.. is anyone else experience battery drain or any audio glitches like I am? It’s happening every all the time.

It is definitely only since the update. No settings have been changed. Alarms, notification sounds, calls, all have an echo that repeats 3 times and then stops. This isn't user error.

@SravanKrA

I think this caused my the update.

The very first morning after the update, same glitch. 1 second loop of sounds after alarms, calls, even when pausing Spotify.
