The videos have a loud generator-like hum

If you’ve ever recorded what should have been the perfect video on your iPhone, only to discover later that the audio is missing or replaced by a strange humming noise, thankfully, there’s a fix.

Over the past few months, a growing number of iPhone users have reported a bizarre audio glitch affecting some of their videos. The issue doesn’t happen all the time, which is actually what makes it so frustrating.

In many cases, users say one video ends up with distorted audio, a loud generator-like hum, or even complete silence, while the videos recorded immediately before and after are perfectly fine.

So, a lot of people assumed there was something wrong with their phone. But the problem is affecting multiple iPhone models, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 series.

So what causes the iPhone audio glitch?

Some people first noticed the issue while recording concerts, sporting events, clubs and other very loud environments. Others say it happened during normal everyday recordings.

Because the problem seems to affect only certain videos rather than every recording, many people believe it could be a software-related issue rather than a microphone hardware fault.

However, Apple has not publicly confirmed the exact cause.

So, how can you fix it?

A lot of people on Reddit suggested that changing your audio recording settings can stop the problem from happening again.

One of the most commonly reported fixes is switching the video recording audio from Spatial Audio to Stereo. To do this, go to Settings Camera Record Sound Stereo.

Many people who experienced the glitch said they have since recorded concerts, holidays and everyday videos without any further issues after making the change.

Some have also gone one step…
