I requested an RMA for my device and the new received device has the same problem, the buzzing/interferences in the earpiece. I'm thinking about requesting another RMA but I want to be sure that there is someone who doesn't have this problem or I will wait until new devices without this are manufactured.
Mine doesn't buzz, and was ordered on the 27th. My hearing is good too, so I'd notice it
Like a little clear buzz? That's what I get on any call tho
Mine doesn't and i ordered it on the first release.

You must try to put against your ear. It is tiny buzz only when screen on . Mine I can hear it on locked screen. But it gone if I turn off screen
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Nope. No buzz here, no matter how close I hold it to my ear.
Ordered on the 4th.
So do you normally operate your phone next to your ear when not in call?
I know some are worse than others. If it is barely inaudible I wouldn't worry about it

Everyone realizes that as people age they lose the ability to hear certain frequencies right? So the people that cant hear it, maybe you just cant hear that frequency anymore. Hearing higher frequencies has nothing to do with "good" hearing either.
Then again, maybe they really don't have the buzzing noise. Just something to throw out there.

Mine is barely audible, but can't help believe that constant buzzing is causing battery drain. That sound energy must be powered from somewhere.

Mines has a slight buzz when phone screen is off, on etc.Very minimal
During phone calls, I barely hear it, phone calls are clear so I'm just going to keep it the way it is. It's dealable and doesn't bother me.
Pretty sure the buzz doesn't cause a drain. I have amazing battery life as it is atm.
I had the same issue and got a RMA. My second one has the same buzzing earpiece only when I hold it to my ear in a silent room. Is this normal because I already replaced it once. I don't here anything in calls.

Mine never had a buzzing problem. I can hear to about 14kHz

Alright haha, was just food for thought anyways, mine buzzes as does my roommate's FWIW.

Mine does not. If It did I would return it.
I have had multiple peeps listen to it just to ensure.
I reckon most people have it but don't hear it. Go to a dead silent room and turn your phone on, listen very carefully and there's probably a faint buzz. As you can tell, this is what I experience, but damn you'd have to be super picky to RMA for that. If you're hearing it semi-clearly in calls then that's another thing!

Hi
Anyone has voice leakage problem during phone calls? Voice from the other side can be heard clearly by people around me...
How to fix this?
Um, turn the earpiece volume down...?

SO..it seems it's a problem with the Note and there's no way to really fix it (I don't mean ways to circumvent it)? Is it due to the long size of the speaker on top?
It sounds like it's due to the Note having a good volume band. If it's bugging you, turn it down. That's not really a work around is it? More of a choice, and which is a good thing I thought?

I really had to check it was not still April 1. I do not see a 'loud' speaker as a problem, as you can simply turn it down. I do not find my note to be too loud. If yoh are using a custom rom tben it might be the rom that is amplifying the sound.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
The speaker is not long at all. The grill is, but that makes little difference.
The real problem is that the phone is so damned thin! The ear-speaker happily blasts out of the back too.
What is irritating is that you still get the issue where if the grill is not well positioned against your ear you cannot hear well, even though everyone around you can
Turn!
It!
Down!
'nuff said.
No.. there is NO problem with the Note..
if people around you can hear it then would you not say that is a real obvious clue that you have the volume too loud..? turn it down...or.. get you one of these http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/7830/
problem solved.

Every now and then, when opening an app or using the system buttons at the bottom, a very short "click" noise comes from the speaker. I have my N4 on silent/vibrate all the time and it is not an operating system noise that's meant to be there because its random. The best way to describe it is that it seems like the phone is "accidentally" starting to play a sound then stopping because its realised its in silent mode.
Anyone else getting this? Views on this problem?
(It happened again as I was typing this, so it happens through the the keyboard key presses as well)

I get that click noise occasionally on my HTC HD2.
Running PACMAN 4.1.2 Jellybean at the moment.
I had this issue as well. I just turned off touch sounds and all is well.
I should note that I have keyboard sounds enabled and I do not experience the random clicking noise.
It seems to be isolated to the enabling of touch sounds, whether on vibrate or any audible volume.

I have the autofocus rattle issue as well. But I rarely if ever would shake my phone like that.

Power Management
Ok... I think this is correct,
The audio chip like most other IC's are entering power saving mode milliseconds after you hear any audio so the small click is the powering up and down of the audio hardware... Many phones do this and many people don't notice it.
It's quite normal but if you have very good hearing it might bother some more then others.

Firstly, I love the device. Had it since Friday morning and it does all I want it to apart from BBC iPlayer and the sky app (the name has left my head).
Anyway onto my question...
I have noticed that when using the tablet in a quiet environment, I can hear a bit of a buzzing/whistling sort of noise from the screen. If you hold the tablet in landscape with the buttons facing up, the noise is coming from the left side of the screen.
Is this normal or is there something wrong with it? My inital thoughts are that it is normal, but I have not had a tablet before and not used one in quiet environment before.
Thanks a lot.
How loud is it, annoyingly loud, or not too bad?
I'ld be surprised if it's coming the screen. My guess is it's either the left speaker or it's cpu whine.
I dont hear any noise.. or maybe Im deaf?? D:
joke.. no noise here. Will try again later at night when it will be quiter.
I have the same issue. I notice when you turn the screen off the sound goes away. It is starting to become annoying.
I also have this noise. Even that loud, that Google now does not understand me. If I record sound, I almost only hear this noise.
The noise varies with the display brightness.
Google will replace my device. The replacement is already ordered.
I suppose it is a voltage regulator making this noise.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
The noise is not ridiculously loud, but I can notice it. I guess noise from voltage regulator sounds like a likely cause. Any idea how long your replacement will take? Might try calling Google on Monday and see what they say.
I called them Friday morning. Today I received a link to order the replacement. Expected shipment is Wednesday.
(I live in Germany)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Well my replacement should be with me on 24th. I have however just noticed how the sound gets worse. The dimmer the screen, the noisier it is. On full brightness, there is no noise.
I also have this noise and I've concluded it only happens when I have auto-brightness enabled. When it's manually controlled it doesn't make the noise but as soon as I turn on auto brightness it starts to buzz faintly.
No noise other than what's caused by auto brightness.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately for me it is also there if I manually set the brightness low. Even more annoying is that if I am using Skype the other party hears nothing but the buzzing. Turn the brightness up and they can then hear me. If the next tablet has the same issue I may have to consider a refund and wait and see what gets released early next year. It is a bit of a showstopper for me as I use Skype a lot.
I am wondering if that is interfering with the mic when I record. The record quality on this phone is boo boo.

Turn screen brightness up to full and then try. If you get less/no noise, then it looks liek it is down to the screen. When I was using skype. if it was set to auto/low brightness ther other person just heard a lot of noise. If it set it to full brightness, they could then hear me and not the noise.
I also have this problem, does definitely appear to be directly linked to the screen brightness. The dimmer the worse the noise.
Waiting for Google to sort out RMA as they seem to have something odd with their administration.
Hope it doesn't take long!!

I called mine in on the 19th and had the replacement on the 21st. I can confirm that the replacement does NOT suffer from this issue.
Shame Google can't seem to send me the correct TNT tracking number. The one they originally sent didn't exist (and still doesn't) and the one they sent me for the replacement had been delivery delivered to someone else miles away many days before I even requested the RMA. Just waiting for my return shipping label now.

I'm sure once an RMA is raised then it should be quick based on your experience, it a shame that they have messed up their admin and I have to wait because of it.
My tracking number made no sense either.

Can't say as tonight is literally the first time I looked for/noticed the issue. But I'm assuming the buzzing will come back either after the device or screen is off for awhile since I've used my N10 plenty since I got it.

Every time I answer a call, the person on the other line does not hear me if I speak as soon as I answer the call. Is any one else having this? I have to call someone, wait till they pick up, say hello, hello. They catch the second hello every time. I can't help but think this is not normal.
This is not an issue of the case or bumper as I do not change the level of my voice when this happens.
I have excellent call quality. I do not have the buzz or the mute issue. I do not have any call quality issues at all.
I started another thread to discuss the issue I am having. Mods, feel free to move the responses into here and delete my other thread.

ok... I thought I was the only one having this issue. I have to say hello twice all the time. I just thought I was too quick to say hello, but it's been driving me crazy!
also, it happens regardless of the ROM I'm running. I guess I just have to get used to pausing for a few seconds when I answer the phone before saying hello... or just keep saying hello twice
I also had the same problem with my GNex on AT&T. I'm just now used to taking a breath after answering before saying anything.
I'm having this problem as well. I don't hear them neither do they hear me for about 4 seconds.

HAHA I really thought I was the only one with this problem. Do any of you guys get random hanging up? Like you know FOR SURE you have good reception and that you never touched the end call but the phone hangs the call up anyway once in awhile.
having the same problem with the call delay as well, on ATT. the Gnex didn't do this
I have the problem but it is only for a split second so if I just wait a sec before saying something it works as it should.
Ok this is odd as I have the same problem and thought it was due to my using Groove IP or Talkatone. It sounds like it may be a hardware issue or a JB issue.
This is a very concerning problem. I hope it is fixed ASAP.

If I put my phone to my ear, even with the screen off, I can hear a rediculously quiet clicking static sound, is this what you mean? I only notice it when I try to notice it so it doesn't bother me, an RMA would be pointless and more trouble than what its worth.
