User level: Level 1 (4 points)my iphone 18 pro max has ear speaker crackling noise during voice calls. I tried everything on the forums, hard reset, network setting reset , it actually fixed the problem for a couple of days after reset but same issue started again.
it more over seems like a software issue than a hardware one , as songs and media sound does not distort .

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.
