Samsung S21 Making Weird Noises – Help Needed!

General Discussion

Make sure the battery is seated properly and look for any swelling. Sometimes, motherboard issues can also cause strange sounds.

22

That’s interesting! What kind of sounds should I be worried about?

23

Clicking or popping noises could indicate a motherboard issue. If it sounds like a fan, that might be a problem too. Don’t ignore it!

My friend had a similar problem with their phone, and it was just a software glitch. Have you tried restarting or updating your software?

25

I haven’t yet. I’ll give that a shot, thanks!

Sometimes, apps can cause noise issues. Try booting your phone in safe mode to see if the noise persists.

27

I didn’t think of safe mode. That’s a good tip! I’ll try that too.

28

Be cautious, as a persistent noise could indicate a hardware malfunction. It’s better to be safe and get it checked out.

29

So, should I take it to a repair shop or attempt a DIY fix? I’m a bit clueless here.

30

If you’re unsure, definitely take it to a pro! Better than making it worse.

31

Whatever you do, don’t try to open it unless you know what you’re doing! You can end up voiding your warranty.

32

Good point! I’ll hold off on any DIY stuff for now.

Maybe the phone is just trying to sing? Just kidding! But seriously, double-check all the connections first.

34

Haha! I wish it was that simple! I’ll check it out more thoroughly.

I’ve also noticed weird sounds coming from my Galaxy S21. It seems like it started after the last firmware update. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes! I’ve had a similar issue. I think it might be related to an app I recently updated. Have you tried rebooting in safe mode?

Rebooting in safe mode is a good call! I had weird noises from my S21 too, and it turned out to be a third-party app causing it. Try that!

38

Make sure you keep your firmware updated. My S21 was super glitchy until I installed the latest updates. Check your settings!

39

Good point! But is it possible that some updates may introduce new bugs? I’m hesitant to update sometimes.

Totally get that feeling! I’ve heard reports of new bugs after software updates too. Just be sure to back up your data before updating!
