Help Feedback whistle in speaker...

[ewingr]

My Note 4 gets a loud whistle, like feedback you hear when microphones and speakers are on at same time. It does it when I launch Now Search by voice.

So I called and AT&T shipped me a replacement phone this week. It does it too. ;-(

So, I thought it must be one of my apps. So I reset the new one again; I installed one app at a time (I have a LOT of them) and tested after every install, to try to find the offending app. Never once did it whistle.

I left to go pick up my wife, told her I thought maybe it was a problem when a fresh install lines all apps up to install, and that installing them individually must have fixed it.

NOT! The very next time I used it it whistled.

Pretty frustrating.

Anyone experience this. Any suggestions?

I have determined that I have this problem only with the Google app. S Voice, no problem. But then, a person can't abandon the Google Voice app ( have no idea what to call it now. Google voice search, Google Now, Google App).
