iPhone 18 Pro speaker has random popping/crack sound

Hi, I have new iPhone 18 pro 256 Gb Silver. There is a random popping/crack sound coming from the speaker of the phone. It's hard to say which action triggers it, but I heard the sound when turing on and off cellular data and airplane mode. It also happend a couple of times at other random occasions.


Do you have the same problem? Is there any solution? I hope it's software not hardware bug. Maybe it's related to iOS 27?

Expressing or conveying auditory experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging. The underlying sound issue on your iPhone cannot be accurately diagnosed from a YouTube link. Factors such as your iPhone's specific sound settings, visual defects, and potential hardware problems cannot be assessed through this method. For more personalized and in-depth assistance, I recommend securing a Genius Bar Reservation and exploring the various support options provided by Apple.
