Step-by-Step Fix

1

Clean the Grill

Use a soft toothbrush and a tiny bit of isopropyl alcohol to scrub the top speaker mesh.

2

Check Screen Protector

Ensure your screen protector isn't covering the tiny slit at the top.

Disable "Phone Noise Cancellation"

Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Toggle OFF to see if it improves clarity.

When to See a Technician

90% of quiet earpieces are caused by skin oils and makeup clogging the fine metal mesh.
