Calls sounding muffled or Siri going silent on your iPhone 16 Plus? Apple Gadgets Care brings expert diagnostics, precise mic repair, and Apple-grade parts together to restore your voice clarity; backed by warranty and handled with signature care.
Possible Issues and Specific Reasons
Possible Mic Issue | Specific Reason |
No audio during regular calls | The primary bottom microphone may be blocked by dust, lint, or case misalignment. A professional cleaning and reseating often restores normal audio functionality. |
Voice sounds robotic or choppy on FaceTime | Software conflicts, outdated iOS, or background app interference can affect mic processing. Running a firmware reset and app-level permission check often resolves it. |
Muffled audio in videos or voice notes | A degraded mesh filter or moisture residue inside the mic grill can suppress audio clarity. Gentle deep-cleaning or mic mesh replacement may be required. |
Mic works during video but not on calls | iPhone 16 Plus uses separate mics for different functions. If the bottom mic fails while top mics remain functional, it often points to hardware disconnection. |
Static or buzzing noise in recordings | This may result from EMI (electromagnetic interference) caused by faulty internal grounding or third-party accessories. Diagnosis with EMI shielding tools can help. |
Siri doesn’t respond to voice commands | A faulty front-facing mic or loose flex connection near the logic board can affect Siri activation. A quick hardware test reveals if it needs reconnection or replacement. |

FAQs
Why is Siri struggling to hear me on my iPhone 16 Plus?
The front-facing mic near the TrueDepth camera handles voice commands for Siri. If that mic is partially blocked by dust or the flex cable has loosened after a drop, Siri may not pick up your voice clearly. A targeted inspection helps pinpoint the issue.
Can a phone case or screen protector interfere with mic performance?
Yes, bulky or poorly designed accessories can block mic grills or reflect sound away from the mic’s input path. This can lead to muffled calls or inconsistent audio. Swapping to Apple-approved cases and checking alignment often helps.
What if the mic works fine on calls but not during recordings?
Your iPhone 16 Plus has multiple microphones assigned to specific tasks. If audio fails only during video or voice memos, it’s likely a secondary mic issue. We run diagnostics on each individual mic channel to isolate and fix the fault.
Is microphone distortion always caused by hardware damage?
Not always, software issues like bugs, optimization failure of background apps, or privacy settings can also cause mic restriction or proper functioning. Our experts can perform a full diagnosis to rule out system glitches before recommending any physical repair.
How long does it take to fix a faulty mic on iPhone 16 Plus?
In most cases, our expert team completes mic repairs or replacements within a few hours. This includes cleaning, hardware replacement if needed, and a full suite of audio checks to ensure everything works smoothly across all apps and features.
