Audio "Static" During Phone Calls

4.5

Music sounds fine, but when you are on a call, there is a loud static or buzzing noise.

Symptoms
  • Static on calls
  • Muffled voice
  • Buzzing
Possible Causes
  • Bluetooth "Hands-Free" profile low quality
  • Interference
  • Mic failure

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Move Away from WiFi Router

WiFi can interfere with the low-bandwidth Bluetooth call profile.

2

Disable "HD Voice" (if possible)

Sometimes the high-quality call codec causes issues on older headsets.

3

Test with Wired Headset

Rule out the phone's internal cellular radio causing the noise.

When to See a Technician

Bluetooth uses a different, lower-quality "profile" for calls than it does for music.
