iPhone 17 Pro speakers lag and repeat last sound after media

I’m having an issue with my iPhone speakers (iPhone 17 Pro). At the end of videos, voice messages, and phone calls, the last sound lags and keeps repeating. A force restart fixes it temporarily, but the problem comes back after a while.


This happens across different apps. is it a software issue or a hardware problem?

iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26

Expressing or conveying auditory experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging. The underlying sound issue on your iPhone cannot be accurately diagnosed from a YouTube link. Factors such as your iPhone's specific sound settings, visual defects, and potential hardware problems cannot be assessed through this method. For more personalized and in-depth assistance, I recommend securing a Genius Bar Reservation and exploring the various support options provided by Apple.
