Phone "Microphone" Sounds Like You are Underwater

4.5

People tell you that you sound muffled or like you are speaking from a distance.

Symptoms
  • Muffled voice
  • Quiet audio
  • Distant sound
Possible Causes
  • Dirt in mic hole
  • Case blocking mic
  • Water damage

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Clean the Mic Hole

Use a soft brush to gently clean the tiny holes at the bottom of the phone.

2

Remove the Case

Ensure your case isn't covering the secondary mic (usually near the camera).

3

Dry the Phone

If you recently got it wet, use a "Clear Wave" app to vibrate water out of the speaker/mic.

When to See a Technician

Phones have multiple mics for noise cancellation; if one is blocked, your voice will sound "processed" and muffled.
