Sometimes the text notification I receive are distorted. It’s like stuck instead of playing cleanly and clearly.

No one here could possibly tell you, but I can say that I personally know the issue goes back to at least iOS 10.
I have the exact same problem with my iPhone 7 Plus/128G. It’s driving me crazy.
Any workaround solution?
Did that already. Worked a couple days, then messed up again. It’s a software issue.
Thank you for sharing. So far that works for me. Fingers crossed.
Yet it’s happening to me using “alert tones” and the default sound for receiving SMS, therefore this is not solution. :(
My iphone 8, sometimes has the same problem, distorted notification sound.
like everyone else has mentioned, this has been happening for a while but I feel like it’s only when I get text from people without an iPhone. Anyone else notice this?
Thank you Danny Appleseed. I agree.
Agreed. Thanks
Danny Appleseed, I couldn’t agree more. Well said!
Very well said, thank you for summing up, my feelings exactly. I’ve reported twice using the links provided here and still no response from Apple.
Anything help? Now my speaker not working properly
Mine is only with 1 friend and he has android, it’s always done this to me since my iPhone 5 and only with his number, any other android numbers and iPhone numbers work fine.
Has anyone found an answer to this - irritating!
