Speaker producing distorted buzzing sounds and static

CTulloss — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 19:25:49 GMT

In the last few weeks, my speaker (not the ear one) started sounding very distorted at all volumes. It buzzes and has static, even when just receiving notifications. I've cleaned it, reset to factory settings, etc and no change. Anybody else have this issue?

Hello CTullos, welcome to the Samsung Community! I understand your concerns about your device speaker not working correctly. I see where you have stated that you have performed a few troubleshooting steps and I would also recommend that you run the diagnostic like suggested by Mujibar. You can also try your device in Safe Mode to ensure that a third party app is not causing the issue: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10003495

If you have already performed a factory data reset (https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002030) on your device and the issue is still present with your speaker then I would suggest that you have a Certified Technician take a look at your device.

You can use the following link to find a list of service centers in the U.S. that can do the repair: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/location or by contacting customer support at 1-800-726-7864.

Noise in the speaker

Is anyone else experiencing noise from their Samsung speaker? Mine started making noise today. I've already checked it and it's clean. Any ideas why this is happening?

No issues on my Samsung S25 FE. Speaker sound is crystal clear.

Run a diagnostic to see if it might be a hardware issue.

Can you describe the noise?

Have you restarted your device and cleared device cache via recovery mode to rule out any potential software issues?

Have you run a diagnostic in the support tab of the Members app to ensure the speakers are working properly?

If you believe there is an issue with your S25 speaker, you can visit a certified Samsung repair center to have the issue diagnosed by a certified technician who will complete any necessary repairs.

I've run a diagnostic. It just asks if there is sound coming from the speaker, which there is, but the sound is distorted. I tried locating a repair center after calling tech support. They said I need to take it to one, after an hour of going through everything with them. When I use the link to find a repair center, I get zero results
