iPhone 6s Distorted Sound

Hello All,

I have just received my iPhone 6S (iOS 9.0.1) and i'm really enjoying the new features, however I've noticed that when I have my Ringer Volume turned up full there is a slight crackling/distortion when playing sounds from the bottom external speaker.

The best way I've found to reproduce this issue is by going into settings, turning the ringer volume to full (having the ringer volume anything below full will stop the distortion) and then playing the ringtone "Opening", the speaker will make a minor distorting sound at the high points of the ringtone.

I've spoken to a friend who has a 6S Plus and they have reproduced the same issue, I would like to ask if anyone in the community could try the ringtone above and let me know if they get the same problems with the speaker?

Thanks in advance

Craig

That piano track is a good example. I have to bring down my speaker volume indicator 5 full notches to eliminate any speaker distortion.

i am press reporter in punjabi news channel (Jus Punjabi). it is not easy to raise topic in media on just a simple speaker issue. unless someone file complaint against apple legally than we will raise this issue and make it viral on news. which force apple ti take immediate action

Gunnu0503, thanks for the help, I am trying to gather as many people as possible to come up with a complaint against APPLE. We have to get them to admit the error and replace the phones or the damaged hardware part, or at least, to make an update to solve the problem once for all...

They are very expensive phones, we can´t make this situation pass without doing nothing.

Please count me in. What do I need to do to help. I already wrote to the Apple support site and I received emails that they are trying to reach me, but I have not received any messages. Just let me know what to do. Thanks.

Nov 4, 2015 12:48 PM in response to Salvado89

exactly raise complaint than we will surely help you... m also having same problem in my iphone 6. even in my replaced Phone (brand new) .never expect this from apple.. apple is known for design and quality.. if this continued than apple will soon loose its market.

Easy way to demo. try the male voice for siri. distortion. this is not going to be fixed by software. i plan to return it and let apple find me a phone that is not defective. i have my 5 until that time. 🙂

Received my new replacement iPhone 6s, it came with iOS 9.0.1 if that's any sign of its age, and of course the problem is not fixed...still buzzes like crazy on higher volumes.

If you want to bring out the worst in this problem, go into the Music settings and change your EQ to "Late Night" and then play the piano track referenced earlier, "Agnes Obel- Chord Left."

Of course, if you plug in any ear buds the track sounds fine at all volumes and with any EQ.
