Hi-pitched screeching sound while making calls

While using my iphone 5, OTHER PEOPLE report hearing a high-piched screeching sound at various times during the conversation. I don't hear anything unusual (no noise)!!. Has anyone else had this problem? Known fixes? I've had this phone for 1.5 years -- problem only recently, but getting more frequent.

iphone 5 7.1.2, Verizon
I am having this issue since 4 months. I have received multiple devices as replacement as my phone was still under warranty. Nothing seems to solve this.
I was being suggested below , I tried them all
1. Mark calls with ###, once I marked them they came up with an answer there is nothing wrong with the network , change the phone
2. Next phone had same issues, answer was its due to incoming calls from T mobile.
When I showed them even AT&T people heard it, they suggested to change the phone
3. Next phone had same issues, they suggested me not to use bluetooth and talk from an area with full bars (now dots). I receive at least 3 dots if not 4 or 5 at my home.
4. Next phone, they suggested to not restore the back up but setup Iphone as new. I did and only installed 1 app. Still people on other side had screeching sound, this time it was Sprint and T mobile both.
Funny part when I called apple support and verizon for the first time, even they could hear that sound.
No one seems to know why this is happening. I may buy a basic clamshell phone, insert my SIM card in that and use it for a few days to deduce if its device related or carrier. Again I am no expert.

Screeching sound while making calls

I just had my iPhone 5 replaced for another issue today. It seems that on my new iPhone 5 I hear a loud sustained beeping or screeching sound that I can hear as well as the other person on the line. Anyone else have this issue?

I started experiencing this same intermittent problem with my 5s. Considered my case (Survivor / Catalyst ) might be at fault but don't think so after researching this issue.
Called Apple Customer Service the Rep confirmed they have been receiving the same complaints from other users. Sound File is the issue.
Was instructed to restore & update with i0s 7.0.3. After doing so made a couple of calls while rep was holding on my landline and of course operated flawlessly. But when I used phone later screeching returned. Plan on going tomorrow to my AT & T store and beg for another phone.
My wife's 5s doesn't have this problem.

While making call I am not audible to other end

While making call if I am using loudspeaker mode, I am not audible to other end

Hi Vinzgenius,
From you are describing, it sounds like an issue with the microphone. Take a look at the article below to troubleshoot the issue further. Check to make sure that you do not have any Bluetooth devices connected as well as restarting your iPhone.
If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch

My iPhone4 struck while making call i cant see any icons??

I had updated my phone to 4.3.5 after that,some times My phone is going un responsive while making calls and taking calls. Please let me know the solution

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose any data doing a reset.

I have new Factory Unlocked iPhone 5 with new earphones. These earphones are pretty smooth while listening to music. When it comes to making calls there is lot of noise background or a sort of amplifier sound and both the ends the audio is not clear. Did any one face this issue with new earphones with iPhone 5? if so, what is the solution for this? Can any one help me resolving this issue as I am the extensive user of iPhone 5 with new earphones? Thanks in advance.

Loud Screeching sound while facetiming.

I am sure many get this problem and sometiems do not know why it is happening but i think i have found out why. While facetiming my girlfriend sometimes i get this loud screeching sound randomly and i did not know why. But now everytime i got a notification it made this loud screeching sound. WHY is this happening?

Sounds like you should contact Apple and get the drive replaced. In the mean time, backup DAILY!

Trouble while making calls

Has anyone experienced while making a call that the iphone 3gs' screen goes black? This has already happened to me twice and i've only had the phone for 2 days. When it happens I can't even power the phone back on. I have to connect it to the charger to get the screen back. It has occurred a few other times when in the contact list also but the screen comes back up immediately.
Is anyone else having issues with the contact list moving slowly when opened on the main screen? This is not a problem when I access it through my phone icon.

The screen always goes black during a call. Like Tamara said, the proximity sensor switches it off to save battery.
In comparison to the 2G, however, I got the impression that it a bit longer until the screen wakes up, or even sometimes hangs until it returns.
I had the same black screen which wouldn't turn on for a couple of seconds after using voice mail.

No sound when making calls

When I make or receive a call I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me. The sound works fine other than calls. I can listen to my voice mails, music, even skype still works. I've checked my settings and they are all fine. I have rebooted my phone several times. I have tried making calls in safe mode, still no luck. Help? I am using a Samsung s4

Hello @stephr
Sorry to hear you’re having call audio issues.
Did this begin after a software update? Does it happen when you use the speakerphone feature?
Have you attempted to plug in a wired headset and have audio during the call?
If you still have no audio even with using a wired headset then most likely there’s a hardware issue and the phone would need to be replaced.
Thanks,
Charise

IPhone 4 vibrates in my ear and makes audible sound while on call

Ever since I did the 4.2 update if I am on a call and message comes in, the phone vibrates in my ear and plays an audible sound that everyone around me can hear and also my caller. First time it happened it scared me so much I about dropped the phone. Now it just makes me mad. When the 4.3 update was released, I was hopeful this "bug" would be fixed. No such luck! Has anyone experienced this? Is there some way to stop the phone from doing this and have it just do the "soft" tone that only I can hear? I went to the apple store and the guy I spoke with suggested just turning off the vibrate. That is not the solution. What about the sound that it plays? Am I supposed to turn that off too? Then it wouldn't make any sound or vibrate. Niiiiiice! Just what I need. A phone that doesn't ring or vibrate.
Someone HELP!
Thanks!

I started a thread like this with my 3Gs iPhone. My solution was to disable the "Vibrate" feature under "Settings, Sounds, Silent" and when I get a phone call I just use the "silent/vibrate" switch on the side of the phone and it turns off all the sounds. Just make sure that you have the "Vibrate" under "Silent" turned off. That fix works for my iPhone 4 as well. Hope this helps.

Only static sustained beep sound when making calls!

Over the past few hours I have noticed when I make a call on my iphone4s (iOs5.1.1, I have not recently updated!) I can hear the person I am calling for about 2 -5 seconds and then nothing OR just static sound and nothing from the person I am calling.
I can send and recieve texts (over 3g Telstra network)
I can send and receive imessage
I can send and receive FaceTime (wifi)
I can listen to songs and videos online and on my phone
I can record my voice handsfree and using headphones
I can not talk to anyone when making or receiving a call! Static or nothing!
I have full reception
I am with Telstra Australia
Any ideas?

Sounds like you have activated mute button, within a call there should be an option to unmute. The top left-hand button with a microphone does it have a / or a \ through it if so just tap it again & your voice will be heard again.
The other possibility is that you've put calls on hold.

Can't hear or talk to others while making calls

When I make a call on my iPhone 4 I can't hear the person I'm calling and they can't hear me and there's no static or sound at all. The phone call will connect and the other person will see that they're recieving a call from me. Another common occurance is that then I make a call the speaker phone button will be lit up when I haven't pressed it and it isn't on. Turning that off and on doesn't solve the problem and there isn't any water damage. I reset the phone and got a new sim card and that hasn't solved the situation. Multiple technicians have opened the phone and can't solve the problem. Anyone know what I should do next?

Who are these multiple technicians that opened your phone, hopefully you didn't void your warranty .
Make a genius bar appointment if nothing has worked, Apple gladly covers any iphone without physical damage for up to one year without Apple Care Protection.
Check the volume on your phone , double tap the home key, swipe to the right twice , and check the volume slider.

E7 always restart while making call with Bluetooth...

Has anybody experienced a problem that you can not make calls when qwerty keyboard is in use and Bluetooth to headset is activated because phone makes every time restart while setting up the voice call. It just first indicates that "disconnecting Bluetooth" and soon after that restarts. And when you make it again and again it does the same.
Hopefully this is going to be corrected in next E7 SW release.

No, contrary to this I can pick up the phone, close the keyboard and no interruption takes place. However, I purchased my phone only two weeks ago and it might have the new SW already.

Issue while making calls

Hi Team,
I am new to the community.I am using iPhone 5S for past 6 months and from India.
Issue is depending upon the signal the network will be changing from 3G to LTE in my phone.
While this is happening I am unable to make calls or receive calls.
Only When i try for 6 to 10 times I am able to call.
I tried all possible troubleshooting steps as suggested by Apple support,still no luck.
I am still using IOS 7.Will an upgrade help me ??
Please advise..

Hi ananthj,
Welcome to the forum!
To isolate the case, you can try a different SIM card on your device. This is to check if you will encounter the same behavior. If it's still the same you can reset the phone to the factory setting. Just don't forget to back up your files first. Check the link below for the step-by-step procedure:
