Crackling - static sound 18 pro max

A Crackling sound on my iPhone after connecting to CarPlay / or car stereo after Bluetooth starts once I have disconnected from it… I mean I go from home to my office and once I have reached my office I get static - crackling sounds on a call which will go away once the iPhone has been restarted only to return once the same has been repeated again and again- it’s a cycle…. Restart it and it does not crackle until it’s connected via Bluetooth again.

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.

When you encounter issues with your Apple devices, the Genius Bar at Apple Retail Stores is the go-to place for expert assistance. The Genius Bar is staffed by knowledgeable Apple employees, often referred to as "Geniuses," who can diagnose and resolve a wide range of hardware and software-related problems. To ensure personalized attention and a convenient visit, Apple provides the option to schedule a Genius Bar Reservation.
