Hello, I bought a phone and the left speaker isn't working properly—it's very quiet.

Yes, it would be very quiet. It's NOT a speaker. It's your microphone. There are two speakers on the phone. One to the right of the charging port on the bottom and one at the top of the phone so you can hear callers.

To avoid any confusion, please note that there is one speaker, and one microphone along the bottom edge of the iPhone.

It might be an issue with the speakers. Hardware issues tend to take place on iPhone. Which iPhone model is it?
