Howdy. I got my PH-1 yesterday and immediately loaded LoS on it. IMHO, notification sounds are too loud and I am on the first "tick", one up from mute. Is there a hack/app that can adjust this? I would not mind softening the speaker output across the board (notifications, ringer, media). I've looked around in the play store and tried a couple apps but they did not help. I have a Moto Z2 Play I was using and I thought it was loud at "tick" 1 too but the PH-1 is much louder. It's super loud in my quiet office when it's not in my pocket. I figure this is not really specific to LoS so I decided to post here. Thanks in advance.
I'm having same problem...
Have you found any solution since ?
i haven't tried this app, but it claims to do what you may be looking for. I just found it by accident. Gonna try it myself over the next few days.

hi,
I noticed i always have a bit of noise behind music. At silent parts you really hear that there's static-like noise in the background. Tested with various tracks, always 320kb/s quality. You can hear it over the integrated speaker too, so it's not my headphones.
Anybody else notice this? Is that "normal" for the Omnia 7 or did I get a bad unit?
I think thats normal for all device? need a second opinion, could be wrong. Usually the noise stops when nothing is being played though.
Can't hear any static myself ? Just played a few 320kb Deadmau5 tracks, On some closed cup headphones, and out the rear speaker, Sounds perfect out the headphones, But isn't exactly studio quaility out the speaker phone and never will be the size it.
I only never notice it if i'm listening late at night when everything else is silent. Otherwise its not a problem. Call me an old fart too, but i complain about all devices these days that they dont go quiet enough! Volume level 1 is too loud lol!
havent noticed any sounds other than the music but i have noticed that most tracks skip at the end of the track. Anyone else noticed this?

Must agree on te vol 1 setting, it's almost my old 3310 loud setting lol
i will do some more testing, is there a track you could suggest that you have heard this most ? and at what volume.
Not had any trouble with the tracks skipping ether. thought it did a good job of blending together tbh.
I've found that when playing video files, quiet moments tend to just be muted.
For example in a film if the scene is busy and noisy it's fine but then if it were to cut to a scene where two people are quietly talking i get no sound. It's almost like it's noise cancelling.
If i turn the volume up there is no problem.
I think I read something about someone else having the same problem, but my xoom only has two settings. Loud or silent. Anyone else going through this? I didn't test it out before rooting, so don't know if that's the issue. I would imagine it isn't exactly a hardware problem, but can't see anything that might be messing with the volume running.
I have this issue and I'm not rooted

well, I guess mine was easily solvable. I just had to reboot.
So, I notice that things like Movies are a bit quiet. But, not too quiet... as in I can still listen okay. Headphones work fine here.
For things like music. MP3's or Pandora it is plenty loud. I have it running right now actually. I have it set to just over 50% and it is plenty loud.
I tried music first before movies... and so when I started a movie I thought initially that the sound was not working on my file. But, I turned it up and the movie got to a louder part and I noticed the sound for sure then. I restarted the movie with the increased volume and I could hear it.
If it were a noisy room? Probably too quiet. But again, noisy room I would use headphones anyway.
I remember the review at Anandtech I believe, he talked about the volume being an issue. He also mentioned that turning it up would maybe hurt the speakers. I would 2nd that last assertion since at just over 50% I think music is pretty loud and cranking it would be problematic to the longevity of the speakers.

Hey guys.
Is anyone having a problem with the loud speaker sound?
My volume is only half way and there's a tingy/ crackle sound coming from speakers.
It seems like at certain notes or frequencies I hear it but it happens most of the time and it's very annoying.
Everything sounds terrible from my notification sound to even playing games.
I sent my phone in for an issue not long ago and it took 2weeks to get a replacement. Don't really want to send it off for another 2 weeks but I can't live with this sound!
Thanks.
Sounds like you partially blew a speaker.
Quit playing your music so loud? =)

i never play my music or turn up my sound to max.
im really careful with my phone! didn't even take off the plastic screen for 2weeks until my screen protector and hard case came.
loll.
if it is partially blown is this covered under warranty?
thanks.
Never turned it up, eh? Take the back cover off and see if there's loose debris where the speakers are that could cause rattling. Also try playing a song or something to see if both or one of the speakers is doing it. If one or both is in fact blown it should be covered.
Something like this just happened to me this morning.
When ever I raise the volume and right before I hear the "beep" sound this crackle sound comes. I turned my phone off and on and it was good.
I just got my moto x Pure a few days ago and i noticed when i receive a text message i get this pop noise after the notification sound stops playing. I went in the settings to change the notification sound and as im switching between them they all have a pop noise always after there done playing or sometimes before playing. If i try to change the ring tone it doesn't happen, they start and end fine with no pop noise. I remember having a similuar issue with my nexus 4 and to remedy the situation i would disable touch sounds and vibration but it doesnt seem to help with this phone.
Someone on reddit said he had the same issue. Anyone else experience this ?
Yep. Happens on my too. It's the speaker going online and standby. Happens on all phones, but in Moto X Pure is loud and noticeable. Cheap speaker? Don't know. Also on my, when playing the tone "Zeta" I get bad speaker crackling noise. Specially when volume is high.

i adjusted the bass in the audio equalizer and it seems to help with ring tones like the zeta, at least i think it did.
I dont get the pop noise when i play a youtube video or listen to google music, so its weird to me.

Thank you for posting this. Now I know I'm not the only one with the problem. I was worrying I'd have to do an RMA, but maybe this'll be fixable with a software update.
Didn't even notice the crackling until I specifically listened for it. Now I can't unhear it. Ughh! This is going to drive me nuts. Similar issue with my N6. Playing music or videos there is no problem. Just notifications and ringtones.

I don't want to highjack the thread, so we should probably move here to discuss crackling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/bad-speaker-crackling-t3200536
The speaker crackling and pop noise after notifications may be seperate issues

Pretty sure they are. I have both though. I notice the pop very easily at night. I have a few apps set to priority, so they'll ring even when I'm sleeping. Last night I got a couple notifications and definitely heard an audible pop about a second after the tone stopped playing. It seems like it happens when power is being cut to the speaker.
My Nexus 6 had similar QC issues. The phone stopped detecting SIM cards about a month after I bought it. Moto sent me a replacement which I sold because it was NIB. Beginning to worry that Lenovo is cheaping out a bit too much on their flagships.
I don't have my phone in hand yet so...has anyone tried some third party ringtones or notifications? The reason I ask is because I imagine it's possible that the default recorded sounds may have some type of silent space after the "music" or the sound stops causing this. Maybe somebody can try a few home made ones to see if it still happens.
Yes i tried third party notification sounds. Same thing happens
Anyone else affected by this bug
Getting the pop noise as well. It's very noticeable. I'll hold off for awhile and see what Moto does about the issue.
I've got it as described above. Sounds like power coming on and then cutting off. Reminds me of powering on and off an old boombox from the 80's.

I have no POP noise at all. As I said before I think it has to do with the earliest batches that were delivered. Even though I ordered on the second day of pre-order I received mine several days after many others. Maybe I got mine from a second, or later batch?? No speaker distortion either even at full volume!
Decided to return it and get another one. Maybe I just got one of the bad batches. I also had a small scratch on it right out of the box. Would've ignored the scratch if everything else was good... but I can't unhear the speaker crackles and pop.
waiting now for return authorization for this problem, which is a little hairy because I'm not the original owner. I do have the receipt though--shouldn't the warranty transfer?
That pop noise very noticable when using viber...
Also try to press keyboard keys and put the speaker closer to the ear... Its like speakers are turn on/off ...
yeah, it's the amplifier shutting off. happens on crappy laptop soundcards too usually. pretty much all of them have it.

Maybe with custom kernel it could be fixed?
perhaps, but who knows anymore. lol

Hey everyone,
My 6P seems to buzz like crazy when I play anything at max volume. Is this a defect? The speakers are still loud and clear but buzz like crazy when I'm around the last 2-3 notches of the volume slider. Obviously loud speakers can cause resonant vibrations but this seems kind of excessive and with everyone talking about how great the speaker quality is I can't help but think that some thing may be up. I'm coming from HTC One (M8) Boomsound speakers and my impression from the 6P's are that they really aren't that great.
I'm having similar issues. I notice it easily when changing ringtones or notification tones. I wonder if this a problem with a gain setting or a QA issues affecting a small number of phones. I'm on MDA89D build.
I had a buzzing speaker problem too then I looked at the EQ on my google music and for some reason it was set funny. I flattened out the EQ to take some bass out and now it doesn't buzz.
The problem actually occurred more with games rather than music. I RMA'd and things appear to be all good now.
