The iphone 7 speaker rattles. Something rattles and rattles in the iPhone and iPad, marriage? Hissing sounds during intensive work

The wheezing sounds of the speaker are in most cases accompanied by its quiet operation. From time to time, extraneous noises may disappear, but soon appear again. Let us consider in more detail why the speakers on the iPhone wheeze and what are the ways to troubleshoot.

Noises may not always be heard during audio playback. The phone will work normally until you set the volume to 75% or more. Further, it becomes very inconvenient to receive calls and listen to music. The wheezing of the speaker can be heard by the interlocutor, which will lead to the impossibility of a conversation.

Looking for the cause of the noise

An integrated approach to solving this problem will help restore the normal quality of audio data playback to the phone. To start, let's define possible cause Problems.


In new versions of iPhones 6 and 7 generations, strange sounds in the case are the result of a powerful processor. As the load on the RAM increases, the speakers may begin to flicker and wheeze. In rare cases, there is a change in the sound of the camera shutter to an unpleasant creak. This reason cannot be called a breakdown, rather, it is a flaw in Apple engineers that users cannot fix with a repair. If the speakers on the iPhone wheeze, you can get rid of this effect by changing the smartphone settings:

  • Close all programs that are running in background and consume a lot of phone resources. Workload random access memory iPhone can be viewed by holding the Home button for a few seconds. Close all apps with a swipe down. Forced close may not save changes or previously entered data;
  • Stop synchronization with cloud storages and online services. You can disable unnecessary software in the Settings-General-Synchronization window. Remember, if you stop connecting to the iCloud cloud, the iPhone will not be able to create a backup, however, there will be enough space in the RAM for the speakers to work normally without extraneous wheezing;
  • Check the settings for the built-in equalizer. You may have accidentally changed the position of the sliders. You can do this in the Airdrop menu window.

As soon as the load on the central processor becomes less, the speakers will stop wheezing. Also, you can reset your phone to factory settings. This will fix the problem in minutes. In order not to encounter wheezing speakers again in the future, try to use applications rationally and do not leave games, video editors, and movies running in the background.

Replacing a polyphonic speaker

If the above steps did not help you fix the problem of extraneous noise on your iPhone, you should check the physical condition of the phone's polyphonic speaker and, if necessary, replace the part:


Having disassembled the phone, you will immediately identify the cause of the malfunction. It could be:

  1. Rupture or contamination of the speaker membrane. Sometimes, one fall of the iPhone is enough for the membrane to crack, resulting in unpleasant sounds. This element can be purchased and installed separately from the main part, saving a lot of money. After replacing the membrane, check the operation of the speaker again;
  2. Loop connection failure. One of the loops may be badly connected to motherboard, therefore, there are malfunctions in the work of the iPhone;
  3. Physical failure of the part. The solution is to replace the polyphonic speaker.

To open the case, you will need a set of screwdrivers, a spudger and a suction cup. Don't forget the tweezers to carefully remove the iPhone parts.

More than six months have passed since the release of new products from Apple. So far, our partner, ModMac Service Center, has repaired more than two hundred devices and is ready to talk about the main problems of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and the cost of fixing them.


During a conversation, the interlocutor hears your voice strongly distorted, the effect of the "pipe" appears. This problem is usually solved in three ways:

– Reset settings (free);
- (4,990 rubles);
- A trip to the official Apple service center and an attempt to fix this case as a warranty one (for free).

"Endless Questions"


When transferring a backup from an old iPhone, various minor problems appear, popping up "endless questions" that appear after a certain time, even if they are answered. The solution will be a “hard reset” of the “iPhone” or a factory reset, and you can do all this yourself and absolutely free.

Failed to activate new iPhone


Just imagine - you just bought the long-awaited iPhone 7, you are trying to start using it, but, alas, the activation of the phone takes several hours.

The solution was found after many such requests: try to activate the device through different Internet providers (connecting to different Wi-Fi networks) - it is proved that activation will take place on two out of five possible connections!

Problems with the "Home" button


– The Home button randomly fires and goes into constant clamping mode (continuous operation of the Taptic Engine). You can contact the official Apple service center and try to fix this case as a warranty one (for free);

- The button gets very hot, and at some point the glass on it bursts. Unfortunately, Apple does not recognize this case as a warranty, so you will need to do the repair yourself, .

Peeling iPhone 7 and 7 Plus in Jet Black


New color - new problems, and if everyone has more or less reconciled with scratches, then the paint peeling off in pieces is something new! There have already been several cases where the integrity of the paint layer was violated to such an extent that a clean aluminum case was exposed.

After the refusal of the Apple service center to exchange under warranty, all that remains for the user is to put up with it or for a new one for 12,990 rubles.

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus camera lens


Already in the second week of use, scratches appear on the camera, some are small and not terrible, while others have the entire length of the eye, and this is not something that interferes, but annoys. But the fact that the glass can break after the phone falls due to the “bulging” camera is a completely different problem. (glass) will cost the owner of the iPhone 7 6,990 rubles, and.

Small issues to deal with


- Slow operation of the iPhone 7 camera. Imagine - you are walking down the street and notice something unique - something that you will never see the second time, take your phone out of your pocket as quickly as possible, go to the camera with a light swipe and ... that's all - wait for the order 20 seconds until all interesting events around are over.

– Headphone problems with Lightning connector. The sound is distorted until you pull the wires; interference, which makes listening to music simply impossible.

- The sound of "motor running". If you bring the iPhone 7 back to your ear, you will hear something wheezing inside. So, this is just a new processor.

Unfortunately, in these cases, going to the official Apple center is unlikely to bring positive results.

Hello everyone! We continue and today we are already finishing (for the next year - this is almost certain) the topic of factory defects in iPhones. Next in line is the new iPhone 7 and its larger brother iPhone 7 Plus. Did Apple engineers manage to make a wonderful gadget, without any defects? Let's take a look and find out...

Important note. Since the devices are new and have only recently appeared on sale, the article will be supplemented as information becomes available about new identified defects in the seventh iPhone. And you can also participate in this. Why not? If you have something to add, or you yourself are faced with any common marriage in the iPhone 7 (Plus), then do not be lazy and be sure to write in the comments.

All finished with the introduction. We turn to the most important thing - defects. Begin!

iPhone 7 CPU hiss

So, the trouble came from where it was definitely not expected. The brand new A10 Fusion processor found in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus turns out to hiss and make different sounds under heavy load. What is meant by heavy load? Games, watching videos online, testing in various programs, etc. Moreover, as it turns out, this same processor (to be more precise, transistors or whatever happens on it) makes sounds on almost any iPhone 7. Somewhere quieter, somewhere louder, but in general - the “seven” hisses and this fact.

But what is more interesting is, if not normal, then close to it. Almost any iPhone makes noise in this way, it's just that they didn't pay attention to it before. And then the hysteria began :)

Of course, when we say that any iPhone makes noise in this way, we mean a quiet sound. If the sounds are strong, then it is better to turn off the device and return it under warranty, this is an unambiguous marriage. Appe knows about this and such iPhone 7s are changed to new ones without any problems.

Speaker problem - hard to hear the interlocutor in the iPhone 7

In the comments to this article (thank you!), and on various other resources, many users note the fact that the sound of the speaker in the iPhone 7 is a little unusual - “like from a barrel”. Considering the fact that some people are already handing over their "sevens" with a similar problem to the service (and they are being changed there!), We conclude that the iPhone 7 has a new marriage - a poorly working earpiece. If possible, be sure to check when buying.

Here, however, there are two nuances that you need to remember before running to the service. If your interlocutor is hard to hear on the iPhone 7, then:

  1. To begin with, be sure to change the SIM card, especially if you have had it for a long time and it was cut off under Nano Sim yourself. Well, or just check with another, "normal" SIM card.
  2. In the iPhone 7, moisture protection appeared and such a dull sound during a conversation may be due to the presence of special protective membranes. Which, on the one hand, prevent moisture from getting inside the case, and on the other hand, slightly distort the sound during a conversation.

And that's all for now. At the moment, there is no other known factory defect in the iPhone 7 - the perfect smartphone :) Of course, defects will appear over time, where without it. But for now, here it is.

P.S. Put "likes" and if there is something to add to the article, then write in the comments - we will collect all the shortcomings of the iPhone 7 in one place!

Quite often, owners of "apple" smartphones contact me with a complaint that the iPhone's speaker has become quieter, the interlocutor has become hard to hear and you have to strain your hearing significantly. In a noisy street, this becomes terribly annoying. Skeptics immediately begin to scold Apple and the iPhone, complaining about the Chinese assembly and high cost. In fact, in most cases, the reasons that the iPhone has a quiet speaker and a dull sound lie not in the device itself, but in its accessories. But first things first!

So, if for no reason at all your iPhone speaker began to work quietly, start by simply restarting it. After that, call one of your friends and during the conversation drive the volume of the speaker with the buttons from minimum to maximum and back several times. This helps in cases where sound problems are due to a simple malfunction of the device.

The second, fairly common case is a crookedly pasted protective film or glass.

But here, as a rule, the problem pops up immediately after you have pasted a protective accessory on the device. Accordingly, you need to re-glue the film or glass correctly and everything will be fine.

It also happens that the iPhone has become quieter due to the case, which eventually deformed and partially covered the speaker. Again, checking this is quite simple - just remove the case and make a call.

iPhone speaker cleaning

Now consider a more serious case, when the iPhone has a dull sound and the interlocutor is hard to hear at maximum volume due to speaker pollution. It can be various small debris from a pocket or bag, some sweet or viscous liquids that accidentally got on the phone case, or ordinary dirt. To clean your iPhone speaker, you'll need a hard brush or toothbrush and alcohol.

First you need to moisten the pile with alcohol and wring it out properly so that it is moist, but not wet. Roughly speaking, our task is to ensure that alcohol does not get inside the smartphone during the cleaning process. The best option is to run the nap over a piece of paper several times. After that, with gentle movements, we try to clear the grid of the iPhone speaker.

Note: A toothbrush can also be used to clean the main iPhone speaker. The only condition is to use it already without alcohol. The fact is that its holes are much larger and alcohol can get inside the device.

Phone hardware failure

Unfortunately, iPhones break too, which means the speaker can fail. How can this be checked? Simple enough. Here are two ways.

First, use headphones. In this case, there will be excellent audibility through them, and the iPhone speaker will still be deaf.

If it turns out that the iPhone has become quieter due to the fact that the speaker has broken, then the only way to solve it is to carry it to the service.

Before you start describing malfunctions and answering the question - Why is it hard to hear the iPhone interlocutor during a conversation and what to do in such a situation, you need to study the smartphone device and divide the breakdown into mechanical and software.

The iPhone has two speakers, the lower one, which is responsible for the speakerphone, playing music and call sound, and the upper auditory, which is responsible for hearing the voice of the interlocutor on the iPhone.

Symptoms and Causes of Mechanical Speaker Failure

During a call, you can’t hear the iPhone interlocutor who is on the speakerphone, which means that the problem is in the lower speaker.

  • Defective Mini-Jack 3.5 mm.

Often, this is due to a failure in the 3.5mm plug. It is possible that the contacts are closed in it. Sometimes it helps to connect and disconnect the plug several times, 10–20. So, you clean the connector from oxides and other debris that has settled on the contacts.

But this is just a life hack that does not guarantee a 100% result. If he did not help, then you need it. On newer iPhone models, the headphone jack and charging jack come in one piece.

  • - Mute key and volume rocker.

If you recently became the owner of an iPhone and do not understand the device and buttons, then on the left side there is a switch to silent mode (Mute) that could be accidentally touched during a conversation.

It's worth checking if you have pressed the volume control and if you have turned off the sound. Try to call back and hold down the volume up key. If you can’t hear the interlocutor of the iPhone, it is possible that the problem lies on the other end of the “wire”.

  • - Faulty top speaker.

Often, people with a broken ear speaker contact the PlanetiPhone service. It fails due to the ingress of water, dirt and dust. Water penetration causes a short circuit and leaves oxides on the contacts that interfere with signal conduction from the speaker to the motherboard.

The mesh on the speaker, which performs a protective function, can become clogged with small particles of dust and dirt. It is extremely difficult to hear the caller. In this situation, you will need to clean the iPhone from water and dust, and you will need to dry it and clean the contacts from oxidation.

  • - The fall of the iPhone.

Due to the fall of the iPhone from a height, not only the speaker, but also the microphone of the iPhone fails.

During a call, it performs the function of noise reduction. Due to the fall, the audio codec or cable fails, due to which the smartphone perceives all the sound coming from the subscriber as noise and extinguishes it. He is verified by recording his voice.

If it is reproduced with interference, noise and wheezing, you should come to our service for iPhone diagnostics. This may be the very answer why the iPhone interlocutor is hard to hear.

Software failures and errors

Now we will analyze software malfunctions that we can fix on our own without resorting to the help of a service.

  • - Bluetooth headsets.

It is worth remembering if you have connected speakers or headphones via Bluetooth? iOS may not correctly disconnect the headset and think that it is still connected to the phone. Just go to settings and turn it off again.

  • - Third party programs.

On the iPhone, the interlocutor is hard to hear due to the use of third-party software. Remember what you installed before the problem was discovered. Try deleting them and rebooting. Hold down the Power and Home keys.

  • - iOS crash.

If the sound does not always disappear, but only periodically, it may be a failure in operating system iPhone. Try updating the firmware.

What to do if the interlocutor is hard to hear on the iPhone?

Of the above possible breakdowns and their symptoms, it is extremely difficult to correctly diagnose the place and cause of the breakdown. If you have little experience, it is better to start checking by checking the volume level in the settings and the silent mode key.

The best and simplest answer to the question - why the iPhone interlocutor is not heard, is to come to the PlanetiPhone SC for a free iPhone diagnostics.
