Nokia 3 Making Loud Screech Noise Randomly. Any Ideas?

Hi all,

I've just started using my Nokia 3. Yesterday in the middle of a restaurant it just started screeching a loud electric / static noise for no reason. You cant turn it down or off. After a few seconds it stopped by itself. Did it again later on when I was plugging it in.

Anyone else got this? Got no joy from Google (only shows the NFC alert tone, and it's definitely not that, it's pure screeching).

Cheers

    My Nokia 7 Plus was making a similar awful, shrill screeching noise, but it would only happen out of one speaker and only when my mother in law calls.

  • If it is still in warranty, then utilise that

    • It only happens twice a day. Not sure how to prove it/ replicate it.

      • Can make video with another phone. Also they may ask you to do the other usual things like factory reset etc before they consider taking it

        • Unfortunately random.

  • Factory reset it?

    Idk, it's not happening to my Nokia 3.

    • It's a new phone. Only installed Oreo update,then wiped it. So it is fresh.

      Didn't happen for a few days. Happened today in a quiet cafe!

      Noticed it happens when multiple open wifi options are available.
