Note 10+ Top speaker distortion....

[seanmwaple]

I've had this phone for over a year now. I've always noticed this audio issue but never actually looked into it.

When we I'm listening music, podcast, movie, anything, the top speaker, above the camera, crackles when at the highest volume. My wife and son have the same phone and it does it on theirs as well. From what I can find online, almost everyone has experienced the same thing. Is there a fix? What is causing this issue?

Mine does not have that issue. Does it happen all the time no matter what sourced access (wifi, carrier, storage, etc.) you are using?
