Help static noise in calls

Hi all,

Ive just got a new note 2 (not rooted) and when im in a call it makes a static noise, like the noise you hear through speakers when you're about to get a call bip ba da bip ba da bip ba da beeeeeeeeeep. it does this for the whole time im in a call and the other person can hear it too. Its not really loud but its annoying.

Ive turned everything off i can find 3g, wifi, nfc etc but it still happens.

Is my phone defective or do they all do this?
Thanks

edit: ok it seems to be caused by gsm is there a fix for this?
 
I had the same problem with my Note 2 as well. I could surf the web and text wihout any problems but each time i tried to make or rcv a call there was this loud static noise.

I tried reseting the phone and taking out the battery but neither was successful,so i just took it back to the sprint store. They tried fixing it but couldnt.

In conclusion, They had to order me a new phone.
 
My Note 2 had the same problem. Mine would act like the speakers were blown, when I talked on the phone, when it played a ringtone, or a video. for some reason, It made me think that it was trying to cancel background noise, so I disabled the call privacy filter in the talk settings menu. For whatever reason, that made my phone sound a LOT better. No more static, crackles or pops... It was like owning a different phone.

Left handed guitarist indeed. :) I'm on Sprint, so my setup may be different. I click on the phone icon, that brings up the dialpad, hit the menu, hit call settings. voice privacy is the last thing on the options screen.

I hope that works for you.
 
I dont seem to have that option :( ive looked all through the phone and cant find call privacy anywhere.
Thanks for getting back to me though.

It might be called something different on your phone, like maybe "noise blocking", "wind blocking..". It's basically a background noise canceling option. Hope that helps you find it.
