I was actually pleasantly surprised by how great my 11 Pro Max sounds compared to my previous XS. I was immediately impressed out of the box. Phone calls on speaker, music, and movies all sound better to me in every way. Not necessarily much louder but richer and crisper, absolutely.

I hear a buzz sound (only from the earpiece speaker) accompanying the other person's voice while on speaker mode calls at full volume. Though such buzzing noise dont appear when I listen to any phone unboxing reviews etc at full volume on youtube. Maybe because during calls, earpiece speaker is much louder than media playback.

Yeah thats been the norm for me on most phones at full volume speaker on calls. Thats why i always keep my phone call volume one click lower than full volume. perfect setting imo.

It happens also on a click lower than max volume. The sound is clear only at 40 to 50% volume during speakermode calls.
My S10+ was louder and it had no buzz or rattle sound from either speakers during media/calls on speaker at full volume.
