Google Pixel 3 XL reportedly experiences a buzzing sound on the bottom speaker

Last year, the Google Pixel 2 ended up being the smartphone with many issues. This year, Google’s Pixel 3 will hopefully not feature as many concerns as the previous handset.

However, some issues are arising.

According to users on Twitter and Reddit, the phone’s speakers produce a buzzing sound. This issue seems to only impact Pixel 3 XL handsets.

You know I thought I heard something similar at very low volume yesterday, but then I couldn't reproduce it on other videos. Does it happen to you with any sound or only some?

According to Nick Shaw and others on Twitter, notification sounds, songs and videos often trigger a buzzing sound. People are noticing the issue affects the bottom speaker, and the device will buzz more at mid-range frequencies.

While I’ve never experienced the issue myself, Patrick O’Rouke, MobileSyrup’s Managing Editor, says that his device does produce a buzzing sound.

Many have deduced that the buzzing is a hardware issue and those affected had to replace their devices. A similar issue occurred last year with the Pixel 2 series as well, with a clicking sound, and a whining noise is coming from the hand, though last year these concerns were fixed with a software update.

While the Pixel 3 XL isn’t available in Canada, when the device does become available, on November 1st, hopefully, none will experience the same issue.
