iPhone X speaker issue

I’m the only one who is having problem with iPhone X speaker ? In particular I hear a cracke with the upper speaker when I reproduce some songs on Apple music or the ringtones such as ’Apex’ and ‘bell tower’ around the 80% and full volume ? Thanks for the help.

iPhone X, iOS 11.1

Solved it!


1. Take a Backup.

(Just to keep Activity data. Use “decipher activity transfer tool” to clean the backup from the other data and keep only activity”.

2. Erase all settings and data.

3. Setup IPhone.

4. DONOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP.

5. Setup as a new iPhone.


This will solve the crackling problem


You can restore the activity data later using restore from backup as only.

I went to apple store this weekend and Best Buy tried 6 different iPhone X models and they all did the same thing very easy to duplicate if you select piano riff ringtone at higher volume. Looks like they all do it for now let’s see what solution apple wil provide for us.

I’m really starting to think it’s the speaker that they are currently using or something hardware related that needs to be updated in all the phones across the board. Which would be crazy with millions of devices.
