Try this, open a video, from a browser or „Youtube“, or maybe open „Spotify“ or a program of your choice set the music volume to 0, put your phone right up to your ear, play and you start to hear noise pause it, after 4 sec. you will hear a little pop and the noise will be gone. I think this is a problem of „Android“ rather than the phone,, since I had a 2014 phone, that did something similar, thou a bit it wasn't a noise, more like 0,5 volume, as I could hear voices. But please tell your experience with this, maybe you didn't even know it, of course it depends on your ear sensitivity. Personally tested with a „Galaxy A32 One UI 4.1“

I've seen multiple posts here and across the web regarding increasing the volume of the speakers, earpiece and headset volume. The problem is that those who have sensitive hearing often want the opposite and we are in the minority.
Being that the changes require using HEX instead of decimals, I made all the changes to the file and attached it here.
The file attached has all the volume headset levels at 50% their original. I was on a 1hr 35min call with my brother. After that call, I had no headaches, earaches, nothing. My bro was watching Yankees and clapping, yelling in his mic and I had no problems.
Enjoy!!
why wouldn't someone just use the volume buttons to lower their volume? I know that's what I do.
I mean, the plus side to being able to have the volume normal or above is when you are in a crowded place yourself you can hear what the other person is saying right? I just cant see the plus side to having the volume permanently at 50%. Mind you I can see it being a pain in the butt to constantly have to adjust the volume down. Actually now that I think about it when you are in a call and you adjust the volume doesn't it automatically remember the setting you had it at so when the next call you have comes in its the same? It probably resets its self if you restart the phone.
Regardless... for anyone who does want this you have likely just saved them a TON of tinkering so good work!

I understand where you are coming from but I did not lower the volume by 50% for ALL audio output on the device. The way the CSV file is setup, you can increase/decrease volume using hexadecimal values to different audio output ports (earpiece, headset/audiojack, hands-free bluetooth, and speaker). I did not modify the earpiece, hands-free, or speaker. I just decreased the connected headset audio. It seriously was giving me headaches because it was too loud and the volume dial at the lowest was still unbearably loud. I personally don't want to go deaf so I made the revision.
I may do some more tweaking and increase the earpiece and speaker volume as the earpiece is way too low and the speaker could be a little bit louder.
Life is about balance. Sure ice cream tastes great but if you had more than you could eat all the time, you would probably start to hate it.
this is exactly what i was searching for! i use in-ears and they are way to loud when doing a call. thank you!
Hi,
Quick question about the way this device records sound. Its by far the best phone ive ever used to record sound, however i keep running into a problem with volume levels. It never stays constant and fluctuates depending on whether the sound is loud or quiet.
Now that wont make sense at first so heres a link to a video i shot in the studio with some friends.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zjcbpfrutvvgher/lemon eyes - 12-06-12.mp4
Note at around 2:20 in the volume changes quite dramatically. I assure you, in real life the volume of the sound was constant throughout the song, the only change was that both guitars had stopped playing, thus decreasing the decibel level slightly (the guitar sounds at that point were from the effects pedals), which surely wouldve made it quieter if anything
I dont believe this a manufacturing defect as ive had it on the past 4 HOX's i owned, but perhaps more to do the way the sound is processed. It is the same result recording in mono/stereo/720/1080 etc.
EDIT Just remembered, i had to turn my speakers up all the way to hear that properly so the recording level is far too quiet as it is. I can barely hear it through the phones speaker.
Yeah got same problem,
I did turn the stereo off in video options which did improve it. Give it a go and turn the Stereo feature off.
The sound was not dropping as much,
I tested this out at a footy match.

Thats a temporary fix i suppose, it did improve it though it didnt fix it for me.
Does anybody know if this is something that is likely to be resolved by a software update? Or can anybody recommend any apps to record this type of thing with if it is a software issue.
This is the weirdest problem:
My phone doesn't ring. My phone makes no sound at all. When I change ringtone in Settings I don't hear the tone I select. When I play a song with a player, no sound. And... the player freezes its timer almost immediately, as if it decides to stop since it can't make itself heard.
However, when I pair with a BT headset, all sounds are there. The only salient thing is that ringtones sound very distorted and slow, while sounds from a player or radio are OK.
When did this start? I really don't know. I first suspected Macrodroid (which had a scenario where notification sounds were turned off at night), but I don't think that's it.
What did I try: I even tried a factory reset but even in a pristine state it won't make a sound.
Could this mean that the speaker is broken? Is there a sure way to check this?
Rooted H815, stock rom V10a
Well, went to Service Menu with 277634#*#. Tried Ringtone. No sound.
But... when I get a call and turn to speakerphone, it works. So the speaker's OK. ???
Hello, I just had no sound when playing music/video, when I play them nothing comes out of the speaker but I did restart and everything is ok now. That's weird I almost thought that something is wrong with my speaker/phone. Has anyone experienced same problem?
P.S. Just before doing this I connected my device to PC and uploaded new songs.
Hi everyone, to those who received their oneplus 5T, I got a question for you.
Have you all hear a strange noise after each vibrates? Basically, I've been hearing a strange and non-consistent "raindrop" sound after each vibrates.
When I turn on vibrate on tap and set the intensity to high, I can hear this sound after the vibration motor triggers.
Has anyone else experience such issues?
Here is the sound file I uploaded for better clarification:
https://soundcloud.com/xiang-pan-1/strange-oneplus-5t-vibration-sound
I hear that on mine as well.
I have a similar experience. However it's very quiet (I don't know how high you numbed up the volume, but I don't have it that hard) and not all the time.
I think I know why:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/vibration-on-the-5t.695633/
It's the combination of the speaker and vibration. So no hardware fault. Or at least, I think it's not.
Way to reproduce this sound: Go to settings - sounds - incoming call vibration pattern
Play a little bit and you should hear the "Raindrop" sound.
After you connect some headphones it's totally gone. So hopefully it can be fixed with a software update.
Weird.. I don't hear it when I do that. I only hear it when the speaker is on. Like when unlocking your phone, the speaker will stay one for a couple of seconds (very quite noise, is normal). When you use your home bottom fast a couple of times after unlock you hear the raindrop. When the speaker totally turns off after a couple of seconds you don't hear it anymore.
I think it's due to the vibration resonating with the speaker when on (try it for yourself). This also explains why you don't hear it when using headphones.
The sound is so minimal many users don't realize it I think. It's not a hardware fault I'm guessing, more a disign thing.
I'm having this problem too.. only after the speaker is activated.
Everyone who notice it, please also let know on the OnePlus forum here, also for more information about it (It's probably design related):

As title says. If you listen on low volume via headphone jack, there is annoying white noise in background. Have had this issue on cheap old phones, but didn't expect to encounter this here. Is it just bad-quality hardware or software issue? I am on latest MIUI.

have you been able to replicate this with more than one set of headphones?

Yes, I've got ones with higher impedance as well and the issue still persists.
I made a very strange observation, would be great if you could test this as well. When you are on Spotify, go to the settings section and click on equalizer. Enable it, max everything out to +10dB. Now put media volume to 0, let the song play. You can actually hear the song playing faintly (about equal volume as the static hiss is) in quiet space. How on earth can the audio leak through even on 0 volume?

the audio is leaking thru because the digital volume control never really zeros it out either before or after the DAC and when you have all the volume boosters down, you wont hear the bleed thru, but with them pegged, yeah... LOL
i would test it for you but i despise spotify. i only listen to one radio station from Romania and media i have on YTPM (youtube play music)
