Anybody else experiencing this when for example starting a movie om youtube? Is this normal or could it be a defect speaker? Should I exchange the note?

I've noticed that occasionally on YouTube only. Its like an electric pop sound. I believe the youtube app has compatibility issues with this tablet. Try VEVO and no problem at all.
So no don't return no hardware issue.

I've checked this again but this is definetly not only on the youtube app, it cracks everytime I start a video or a sound, seems to crack once in the begining and end when the speaker gets de- & activated and only on the right side. No creaks during the playback. Strange.

Sounds like you need to exchange. I hear nothing odd on Netflix. I don't use YouTube app, but I'll try it. Back soon.

I did hear that. It's probably YouTube. I don't hear the cracks any other time when listening to videos on Netflix. I'll check my browser and let you know.
YouTube in Dolphin sounds fine. It's an app issue. You can check this yourself.
I hear it every time the speaker is turned on or off , no creaking in between. This happens even when typing with sound or receiving notifications . This is not application specific, it happens all the time, only when triggering and ending a sound output. Guess got myself a faulty speaker, got the new update via kies an hour ago, creaking sound stays the same. I've contacted the Samsung support, but I am not relying on hearing something soon from them. But when some of you guys say they can't hear this, it's clear for me.

Can even hear the creaking when sound is completely turned off(mute) and I pull the s pen. Waiting for 5 seconds to plug it back and it creaks again. I' so pi***d off, I paid the full price to get it earlier now I'll have wait weeks for an exchange.

The YouTub app has a noise for sure, right speaker, kind of a crack sound. I hear it no where else.
Time for an exchange. Sorry to hear. No pun.

I even did the pen test with the sound all the way down. No noise. Sorry.
Exchanged but got the gray one, now sound is working as it should.

I am having the same issue. Every time the speakers activate there is a little crack sound. Then about 5 seconds after all sounds stop the speakers crack again. During the 5 seconds there is a static hiss. It affects both speakers but the crack is much louder from the right speaker. Now what I find really interesting is that it also happens with my Bose headphones plugged in. So it is not the speakers but the sounds chip/card I am guessing. I am so disappointed. Has anyone else had this problem and discovered a fix? I just got my 32GB yesterday. I suppose I have no option but to return it but I am holding out hope that there might be a software fix.
My fix -> exchanged!

Good news.
Have the same problem , is there a fix for it?
has anyone figured out a fix for this? i have the gt-n8013. i get the 5 second static hiss/hum, sound, 5 second hiss/hum, crack. all this happens while i start to get audio and then when the audio ends. i use some very nice audio technica ckm99 in-ear buds. however, when i plug in my sennheiser hd448 and don't hear it at all? perhaps because the 448 is over-ear and the 99 are in-ear?
i was tempted to either by an in-line noise reducer, or a ferrite core, or even flash a new kernel (boeffla). the hiss/hum isn't that bad and if i focus on the sounds, i can hear it during playback of music/video but it doesn't deter from the media i'm listening/watching if i get engrossed in it. the fact is that it's there and that bugs me.
i want to know if this is fixable or do i just have to live with it? worse case if i can't stand it anymore, i'll just buy another 448 and keep it as a carry-along. thanks!

I believe he meant why do you say its blown. Weird is a completely non-descriptive term. If you provide a better description it would be much easier to help you. Also, I'm not aware of spare speakers for the SNS.

Normal. Blown would be heavily distorted sound from all volumes. The crackles are normal> If you aren't happy with that, go do a swap. Or get a whole new phone together... Seriously, if I continue to have problems, I'm gonna drop it completely and go back to BlackBerry.
I. May wait till another android phone attracts me thence ill swap

I think mine just blown today.
My text rings started crackling.
Then all my sounds would stop, then little keyboard ticks would be fine, shutoff sound fine. then again rings crack etc.
Well I go play music and it's crackling like crazy, then goes on/off.
I BLOW into the speaker while music is playing and it "works" better.
Anyways now, it's really dead unless i use an air can to blow on the speaker and it'll make sound.
Blown.
Guess I'll make a claim for my SquareTrade warranty

Have you enabled dts feature when using the stock music player? Also it depends if the audio file volume was upped correctly when it was mixed. It plays real loud for me even when dts is not activated. Also think about ambient noise in the background when you are playing music

for me it's speaker, not speakers... I can only hear sound coming out of one speaker... I guess the other one is the mic... and yes I can barely hear mine too
Thanks Dude. Got it. It was the DTS function that was off.

ok
just got the 32gig card today putting mucis on it now but that wont help videos . but if it helps on this it can be made to work on video player or get teh programs off a slate dump since i guess tehy left teh apps off the g2x.
So if one of the speakers not working, then is it a defective unit? Only my right one works and the left one doesn't.
Left one is a microphone. Wow too many people are wondering about this.

Do any of you guys use this? The low speaker is started to frustrate me like crazy. Can barely hear calls on speakerphone even when all the way up, and I have to turn the volume all the way up to even be able to hear youtube videos and sounds in games. It's pathetic. Will the volume+ app fix this? And what setting do you use? I'm just looking for it to be a little louder and not blow the speaker.

People do use it.
There's also Equalizer in the Market which is what I use.

dev says this is fixed in update today
Ok, my Samsung Captivate stopped ringing when someone is trying to call me. And I can't hear anything when I put it on 'speaker phone'.
It looks like the speaker phone (in the back is dead)? Yes, I've checked many times to make sure the call volume is on at the highest setting.
And I can no longer hear any sound when playing game or listening to music/video.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Lots of people have had success with just pushing the speaker down with their thumb, but I had to take the phone apart and mess with a connection for a permanent fix. Search this site for speaker fixes.
Thanks guys. I push the speaker down a few times and it seems to work now.

So I bought the Ultra yesterday. The speaker sounded great at first. Tonight I started a song on Google Music and it was loud at first. Then it seemed to autocorrect the volume. The volume is now the same between half and full. I cannot get it to turn up any louder and it is pretty quiet.... About half of what my S3 could put out.... This is between both the Pandora and Google Music apps. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a setting I am not seeing to turn this "feature" off?

try a different app then you will know if its the phone or the app.
for what it's worth I've had google play music do weird things with the volume on some songs. (not a droid phone)
So I called VZW tech support last night and they told me to take the phone back and get a new one. And it also started doing it on speaker phone too.
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Isn't the phone supposed to do that? I believe I read somewhere the phone adapts to how you listen to songs... Will look for the article.

I did a factory reset and that seemed to fix it for a while. Music played normally for about 6 hours then it randomly started cutting the volume level again. It gets so quite it sounds like the volume is only at 10-15%. I went to Verizon and couldn't get it to reproduce the effect in front of the agent. They said to come back if it keeps happening.
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I honestly believe that the phone is supposed to do that. It supposed to adapt to your listening preferences. I can't find where I read it but I will.. Just return it before your 14 days are up and see if the new one does the same. They shouldn't charge you.

Turn off the equalizer and surround under Sound > Audio Effects

Soooo.... sometimes it has no volume at all. I tried suggestion from the post above and it didn't seem to help. Too bad I really like the 5" screen. I think I going to return it and buy the Moto X instead though.

My volume does weird things using Google Play music as well. I was walking yesterday and had it on full volume. Never had it that way on any other device.
Past Moto phones have had a "High volume can harm your ears" warning that turns down your music unless you shut it off. Maybe that remnant of Blur stuck around and needs to be disabled somehow? Just a thought.

i do get a message that says that when i'm listening to bluetooth audio and go to turn the volume up on the phone. but, knock on wood, it still lets me turn the volume up.
edit: actually it looks like this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/229041-how-do-i-disable-unsafe-volume-warning.html - so if it happens on a NEXUS, then it's not motorola, it's Google (oh wait i forgot, they are motorola...and all of freaking android)
