MUCH better sound than my Galaxy S7. Loud and clear.
Tested in store and it is way quieter than the XL version. I was disappointed and tried other stores with the same results.

I think this is a nice video to watch. The video shows there isn't much difference between the 3 and the 3xl. Way better then the rest and last year's pixels though.

Coming from a pixel 1 to this... yeah the speakers are way better. I was using DuoLingo on speaker while cooking and could clearly understand what was being said without needing it cranked all the way up.
I used my Plantronics BackBeat Fit Bluetooth headphones for the first time with the Pixel 3 yesterday while I was walking. They're *much* louder and the audio is better quality than with my old Nexus 5. I wasn't expecting that, but I'm happy.
I tested the ring tone speaker volume and they were very weak but a UTube video was loud.
Has anyone added custom ringtones that match the media volume?
Wheres the outrage on the phone ring volume, first and formost this is a phone. If you cant hear the thing ring what good is your phone. Demand that the fix this problem. What does it tell you that a media sound is louder that your ring tone?
Speaker is clear, but speakerphone volume is not as loud as my Nexus 6 was.

The notification, ringtone and alarm volumes are abysmally low. In anything but a totally silent environment, they are not loud enough to be hear if the phone is in a pocket or purse. I submitted a request for this on Google Issue Tracker website
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/121304984 (sorry, you'll need to copy and paste - new users can't post hyperlinks)
but it was ultimately rejected as "won't fix (intended behavior)".
These sounds only emit from the bottom speaker by design. This was the development team's response:
"This is "speaker safe" mode, in which any sounds that could surprise the user shouldn’t go blasting out of the main speaker. As the user reported, one implementation is using secondary speaker instead of the one in the ear area. We appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately as of now, we will need to decline this as "working as intended"."
This is unacceptable, since it should only be implemented when the user has the phone to his/her ear when on a voice call.
Otherwise these sounds should emanate from both speakers to provide the necessary volume.

The speaker is front facing. That's better than most phones alone. It's plenty loud. It's a smooth mono (not stereo) sound, so it's NOT tinny at all. In fact it has some rich depth. You can wash dishes and hear whatever you're listening.
Doesn't it sound bad when the sound has more intensity? To me, it sounds as a blown speaker.
It is loud, but even the ringtone comes bad. Only for me? I noticed this problem when choosing the ringtone on the first time. I have only 4 days of use till now.
i've never set the speaker on loudest because i'm afraid to blow them,
they seem to have the ability to go REALLY loud as even having them in MIDDLE VOLUME CAPACITY is plenty loud for me
i think the tones (or bass?) sounded a bit weird at first,
but i got used to it and love the speakers now!!!
I'm slightly disappointed beceause a lot of websites reported this phone had stereo speakers,
but from what i reecently gathered this phone probably has mono speakers?
i'm sure there's better speakers out there, but these sound pretty good i think

It can't be stereo as it only have one output for sound! Maybe a concept version had another speaker, but configuration changed on the final product.
After some time, the speaker got better to me, pretty crazy. Like a speaker burn to get a better bass
My moto x4 speaker sound gets slow suddenly
I used only 20 days of buying .Earlier sounds louder but now get decreased by 25 to 30℅ when I playing media files............. I don't know how to fix it

I got mine last week and couldn't stand the speakers. I thought it was an issue with my device and returned it to get a new one... I really hope the second unit doesn't have the same problem, although to be honest after reading your comment I am not so positive about it anymore.
Should have saved some more money and gotten that iPhone 8...

Almost all Motorola phone have this dumb problem. I found a fix for the Moto x pure using cm back in the day. I'll need to search my old posts from basically there is a etc folder that you delete (with root) and after rebooting the problem is gone. Made the Moto x pure actually usable. Until I realized the battery was a complete joke. (Like 3-4 hours usage Max)
looking back, I feel the quality of this speaker should have been better for the Price.
but w/e. I just ordered an Anker Soundcore Nano. This tiny thing is really cheap (€15 incl. shipping) ,
supposedly only weighs 80grams & will beat the built in speaker from even the most expensive phone today by far.
The speaker is kind of quiet compared to the G4 Plus. The Notification/Alarm ascending ringtone is annoying but can be disabled:
Modify the file
Code:
/system/vendor/etc/audio_ext_spkr.conf
under the "ring" and "media" sub-groups, modify the "attenuation" param from the default value to
Code:
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
.
I get cracking sound when turn on loudest volume in a call. Who is get it? And is it normal?
Grandpa is 100 years old (honestly) and being a man who still wants to keep with the times, the Moto X4 is his first smartphone. The speakerphone was the selling point since he is a bit hard of hearing (understandably) and he needed a phone that could be as loud as he needed it to be. The normal speakers at MAX volume are almost enough for him to hear it on his own, but the speakerphone pushes it to where he needs it.
My only suggestion is that you root and move away from Motorola's stock ROM. Motorola has a software glitch in their stock ROM, which causes the volume to sometimes (at random) not to properly function (you'll have your volume on MAX, but for unknown reasons, it will be quiet sometimes when you take or make a call). Motorola has patched, unpatched, and repatched this issue (meaning they've fixed it with an update, then broke it again, then fixed it again) and this seems to be a pattern with them. As a result, I found using a different ROM (not the stock ROM) resolves this issue once and for all.
That said, obviously, the speaker is good enough for a 100-year-old, senior, Grandpa to hear. I think that speaks for itself.
Coming from a Moto Z2 Force and Axon 7, these speakers are terrible. They are the quality we had 10 years ago. I managed to solve this problem with VIPER4Android FX. Turning on extra loud (up to +6) and speaker optimization seemed to fix any complaints I had. Speakers sound great, but if you push them they can start cracking. I think I found the perfect balance. Idk how people are saying it can be too loud, mine was too quiet.
In short, speakers are terrible without software modifications. Then they are just fine.

Speakerphone is decent. It is one speaker at the bottom but it is pretty loud and quality is OK. Sound is clear but not harsh.
I`m not gonna lie, I liked more the front stereo speakers of my old HTC One E9+. But yes, the sound is loud and crystal clear enough to making me feel good.
The important thing is that I can hear when it rings across two doors and rooms so no more missed calls for me.
As loudspeaker in call mode is good enough to use it in average crowded zone.
Hello all,
My friend bought this phone, she says the sound is very low, when she is using the loud speaker or the headphones, in both cases she says the sound is very low.
One more note: she says one click before raising the volume to maximum sound is still low .. then raising volume to maximum is quite high and good.
It is like that? Do she have to replace her device?
Since you are the only two who posted here, can you give me your opinion please? @rumpelst , @Belgarionbg
Thanks in advance.
Let see. It depends.
For example when I`m watching videos in youtube volume regulation is really smooth. It`s working ok with youtube vanced as well with gettube.
In video players like mx player, km player and the integrated one the volume regulation is normal - each step makes effective change.
For audio players like PlayerPro and Poweramp everything works ok as well the custom option in Poweramp giving additional volume steps.
But in some sites while watching videos I have also noticed the fact that there is almost no noticeable change in the volume up to the last three or two clicks on the volume buttons.
Mostly news sites tho. I don`t know what kind of player code they are using but it really does strange things with the volume. And if I download the video and play it in the phone there is no problem. It`s really strange.
I have also tested it how it plays from different clouds. I use google drive, onedrive and dropbox. There is absolutely no problem with direct video/audio streaming from them and the volume control is behaving the way it should.
====
As for the ringtones, notifications sounds and etc if I have a problem is that they can`t be turned as low as I want them sometimes.
====
Somehow I missed { headphones } in your post in the first reading. Now that is not normal, I think, at least for me.
I mentioned for low volume problems in some news sites but that is only when is on speaker, if I insert my headphones the problem goes away.
The max sound level for my headphones as actually high and I can only tolerate it up to ~80%, over that it goes high enough to feel pain.

The audio is awesome. Stereo Sound clearly make a difference (the top one could get louder tho), Dolby Smart Sound performs great. The only thing bothering me with the speakers are the volume steps (they are very messed up), that could be fixed with a software update.
I agree the stereo Dolby sound is great. I thought my G5+ had a good loud mono speaker but on the G7+ it's louder & clearer. I always used V4A on the G5+ but am not sure I'll need it now.
I'm older and don't like earphones unless I'm out in public, and at home I don't listen to music on my phone. But I listen to lots of audio podcasts and stuff on youtube that the screen can be turned off for (using Vanced background play module for Magisk) while going around doing my chores, and for that purpose the G7+ will be even better. And of course for watching videos with screen on the speaker sound is both strong and of good quality.
The Sound is very great.
I am very Happy with the Phone.
I just wish it could be LESS loud!
The 1% volume is still to high when you are listening to some music in bed with someone sleeping in a room nearby. Why can't the volume go lower?
Moto G7 Plus speaker Functionality
The earpiece in the Moto g7 plus serves as the Bass and lowermid frequencies while the bottom speaker gives you mid to highs and has a fuller sound.
The earpiece producing bass gives the phone vibration which you can feel when you hear music. At max volume, the bottom speaker seems to play louder than the earpiece, but that is okay, since the earpiece is actually producing the bass and thump and the vibration.
Quality is really good and enjoyable and even with headphones.
Probably the best speakers in a Moto phone since the Moto X Pure/Style of 2015. Loud and clear. Reasonable tone, considering how small the drivers have to be.
I bought a used G7 Plus recently. The sound is amazing, I'm using it in the Movie setting.
The earpiece speaker (at the top) has a very different sound response and it seems like it has a lower volume than the speaker at the bottom, therefore I went to settings, searched for "balance" and adjusted it by around 30% to the left side. Now it sounds better. When using other audio outputs (bluetooth, P2 earphones) I need to reset the balance to 0.

The stereo speakers of Oneplus 7 is just performing like a Oneplus 7 pro. I think there won't be any issues like call drop or reception connectivities.
I bought OnePlus 7 yesterday and its amazing. sound quality of this phone is too good as both sound driver is working well and louder.
Compared with 6t, you can feel the difference.
Speakers are great...
Fall just short of S10 and Xr speakers imo.
But loving the loudness.
Haven't gone above 50% volume yet.

On GSMarena they sad "non pro speaker feel better than OP7 Pro"
Back of the phone vibrates.
Front speaker in the earpiece make my OnePlus 7 vibrate. Vibration is so much that it feels like an hardware issue. During phone call and also during music or video playback. Anyone facing same issue. Is it natural or did I received a faulty product.

It is natural. Mine behaves like yours. I do not think you should worry about it!
I just watched some YouTube video and put the volume up and the earpiece speaker didn't vibrate. Damn it's loud as hell.[emoji24][emoji1787] Maybe eventually it will vibrate because it's so loud?

On my OnePlus 7 is impossible to make loudspeaker calls. The other person can't understand one word! If anyone check at OnePlus official forum will see a lot of people with the same problem.

I have the same issue.. the loudspeaker on this phone is useless while making calls as the other party cannot hear me. It seems it is a software bug:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/speaker-phone-poor-mic-quality.1062469/
OP7 is not turning on the external microphones on the top and right-bottom of phone when on speakerphone and only keeps the left directional mic on as it is during regular calls. Strange that if you turn on sound recorder apps or any other calling apps (Duo, Whatsapp) the mics for the loud spaker work properly. OnePlus needs to fix this!
integrated sip calls in phone app at loudspeaker make mic stop working, OOS 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2
Dear Oneplus 7 Users (not PRO and not T version) – pure Oneplus 7.
I would like to ask about your feeling of earpiece speaker. (especially call quality and loudness).
I have had many phones in my life but with Oneplus 7 my experience of earpiece speaker is quite bad.
I feel calls are not so loud and other issue is that I have to put earpiece speaker directly in front of my ear. Any small movement of phone strongly decrease call volume. It looks like earpiece in Oneplus 7 is very small or something is built very specific way in this phone because I haven’t meet similar issue in any phone that I have previous. I have real problem speaking "on street" to hear other side.
I would ask other people for their opinion.

Speaker Loudness issue only while receiving calls
Hi all, I am facing issues with the call ring volume on my OP7. Whenever I receive a call, my ring volume is very low but in settings everything is at max volume. any idea how to fix this issue?

Same Loudness like S10+ But S10+ Sounds like Better compared to Note 10+.
On the N10+ the bottom speaker appears to be slightly louder. This is apparent at high levels. I suspect this is accounted for in its speaker design: the top speaker doesn't have the benefit of a big grill.
May I ask you guys where you were able to test this? Was this at Unpacked? What kind of environment were you in when you tested it? I hope its better than the Note 9 because that about half the volume of my iPhone XS. Barely could hear people unless at max earpiece volume, and playing music over the speaker was almost pointless unless in a super quiet room. Thanks!
definitely much louder than note 9, just upgraded from it to 10+
Not much but it is louder and with reacher sound. Spotify, phones near each other and same song resumed on bouth phones (best test for loudnes for me)! Btw I have note 10 (not +) but as I saw, bouth are the same with speakers.

It's not the speaker phone quality thats an issue for me, it's the earpiece for taking phone calls. If your in a noisey enviroment, there's no way to hear the call, it's all low frequencies and no top end
