Im curious about this too. I've noticed that it "increases" with everything though; notifications, alarms and even playing youtube videos. I wonder if this is a bug to be fixed at some point.

I don't think it's a bug. It is standard behavior on Moto phones. Although it annoys me too.

Really? Granted, I havent had a Moto phone since the original Atrix but I dont remember it happening on that. I dont necessarily care that it increases on ringtones or alarms, its mostly for maybe a half second. The problem is notification tones that are about half a second long that i dont hear.
I love this feature, I hate sudden loud ringtone.

I agree, I kinda like this feature too. Just some food for thought guys - the speakers on this phone are pretty powerful. The gradual escalating volume might be a measure to ensure that the speakers don't blow out.

I too want first ring to be at the setting I choose, not gradual.

If saving the speakers from blowing might be reason this is done, then why isn't it applied to alarms, youtube etc?

I'm not sure, that's a pretty good question. I might be wrong, but maybe Google assumed that 1) YouTube videos are watched at a user-defined volume anyway, so why mess with it, and 2) there are apps that have volume escalation for alarms, and we'll install them if we want them.
Honestly, I have no idea. All I know it's that 1) there are many times when my ring tone volume was all the way up, and an incoming call would be a shock to me, when it started blaring, and 2) my girlfriend is loud as hell, so it's nice to have my phone controlling the initial volume of her voice, lol.

Considering just about every app that has sound doesn't do this I doubt its to prevent anything.
Most phone besides moto have ascending ringtones etc. I'm sure there will be a way to get rid of it eventually
When the ringtone/alarm/notification starts, does anyone else have a brief, less than half second, slightly louder tone play? It almost sounds like a pop before my ringer starts to fade in, but you can hear it's the beginning of the tone, just slightly louder then it goes quiet, and fades in
Edit: just did a little testing, it doesn't always happen, it seems like I could force it if I opened a game (clash of clans) for a couple seconds, then stopped and locked the phone.. then when the ringer starts it does the brief less than half second at a med-low volume, then goes to low and starts ramping up. The next call the ringer behaves normally, starts at low and ramps up.

yes, i get that sometimes.
ok cool, just got the phone last Wed, and with some of the quality issues that have been popping up, I'm trying to rule out any defects before it's too late lol.. great phone so far, just a few weird quirks like this, hopefully they'll get them ironed out in a timely manner.
I don't mind it on my call ringtone, but it is really annoying with my facebook messenger or my text messages. It also doesn't help that if the notifications aren't full volume then I can't hear anything; because the front facing speakers are always up against my leg in my pocket.
Any word on a work around for this yet?

Any devlopments? I cant stand this "feature" (mainly for alarms).
bump again. Would love to get rid of it. It even does a gradual volume increase when switching from handset to speakerphone on a call. And that's just silly.
Still no solution to this miserable "feature"? Drives me nuts.....

I'm getting some sort of buzzing from my phone, whenever I press a navigation button, or press any on screen button/action. I first noticed this when I was setting up my phone and deselecting which apps to install from a previous backup. Every time I would untick a box, it would make a sound for about 2 seconds. The best way to describe the sound, is like the ticking/buzzing sound a hard disk drive makes, only much quieter.
This seems to happen only when I take an action (IE pressing the home button, pressing on an app to open, ticking a check box, etc.)
This seems to only be noticeable in a quiet room, and regardless of the phone being on mute or not.
Obviously there is no disk drive in the phone, so my only guess would be some sort of interference, or static coming from the top earpiece. I'm leaning towards a blown speaker, because when I play music, I can hear a very faint buzzing/popping sound coming from the top earpiece.
Anyone else able to duplicate this?

Play Store. Just picked it up yesterday from UPS. That's what I'm thinking as well. Do you know how the RMA process is like with the GPS?
they'll replace your phone for free. what they do is they Charge you another $649 (as a temporary hold on your credit card), while they send you a replacement unit. WHEN you send them the defective one back, they cxl the $649 hold on your credit card.

I've read good things but have no experience for any device I've purchased. Because of the stocking issues (worse than the N4 and N5 at their launches combined), I don't know how soon you can expect a replacement. (Way to shine, Moto!)
Have you all considered that the sound you are hearing is the feedback sounds from preforming actions?
To access (which they are all on by default) and turn them off go into Settings>Sound & Notification>Other Sounds
Before doing anything, be sure that these are not the sounds you are talking about. Last thing you want to do is RMA something that is not broke.

I did this too, I checked and the sound i get is "expected" slightly different if you enable and test agains the nexus 5 in lollipop but its is quite similar in sound. Its more of a popping sound for the lock screen and a bop sound for touching the screen.

I liked the sound on my nexus 5 but don't like it on the 6. I am not sure if it is just more clear now or what but I turned them off.
I just noticed this as well. I had Kritika (game) running on my phone, media volume at 0. I set it down on my desk to do something else and that's when I heard a faint static-y, hissing/crackling noise. It was coming from the top speaker. I held the phone up to my ear to be sure. I switched into Kik and the sound went away. I closed Kritika and opened up Slingshot Braves (another game, media volume still at 0) and there was a consistent white noise coming from the top speaker. Same thing happened when I tried it with SoundCloud and Play Music. It wasn't erratic like it was when Kritika was open, but there was definitely something there.
Seems to me like something is wrong with the media volume control.
EDIT: I've started a thread on the Google forums. Feel free to chime in.

You're not alone.
I'm experiencing this issue as well. There's also a subreddit post and another post here on XDA about it... I'm wondering if it's a defect or if it's normal.
Happens in top speaker for me as well. I notice it particularly well with the second half of the ringtone/notification sound, "Ganymede." Should we ask for a replacement?
Nexus 6 Volume/Speaker Bug
Same here. I am using the ATT Nexus 6 and have also noticed that the volume drops drastically when receiving a phone call. Also, it is difficult to hear the person on the other end even with the volume all the way up. The volume issue also applies when the phone is on "speaker" mode. It is still hard to hear. This may be a Lollipop issue.
I don't want to double post but I can confirm after receiving a replacement device that my original device did have a speaker defect. More info in my other post @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57118790#post57118790

Hi.
I have searched for this problem and haven't found anything useful. When I get a notification from let's say Facebook Messenger, it's either too quiet or doesn't produce a sound at all. After a couple messages get through one after another, it gets louder.
Is there a setting I'm missing?
I've noticed it too. Whats weird is that this happened to my Droid 3. Its annoying. A great example was my alarm this morning. I heard it really lite then it jumped to its correct volume setting. Every, please chime in if you've been noticing this!
Noticed this on alarm. I don't mind ascending volume but it's not ascending volume at all - more like very low and a crescendo to its normal volume.
This is new with Lollipop for me. It happens with all sound. I can even go to the volume settings, and the first time I 'preview' a sound it will do the same thing before it corrects itself (afterwards the previews will then work fine until I pause for a minute and try again.. then same problem).
Bumping this.. becoming a problem. Anyone have a fix or workaround?
In addition to above, I'm also noticing that I have my volume set to max.. but occasionally I'll find it somehow reset itself to "mid" levels.
I don't think this is something that can be turned off or on, most likely it's some kind of bug. Let's just hope it gets fixed soon, it's really annoying
The Motorola forms say it's a safely feature, preventing you from damaging your hearing if it goes off while it's next to you head. It should at least be an option.

I found that if I use the volume rocker to change the volume it sometimes makes the volume turn off. Instead I go into settings/sound and change the volume from there
Same issue here. Samsungs have this exact same "feature" too, drove me nuts back when I owned one. When I create ringtones, I create them with the intent of getting the impact of the song or melody right in those first few seconds, and "increasing ring" completely ruins it. I installed this app for the Samsung back when it was on either ICS or KK, but sadly it doesn't seem to work with Lollipop. Maybe we can all bug the developer to make it work with Lollipop?

I don't think this is an escalating ringtone feature -- I think it's a bug. Possibly it's just really poorly implemented, but I've used escalating volume on ringtones with CM before and compared to that, the volume inconsistencies here are far too sudden and inconsistent. For example, sometimes half my notification is quite (or possibly completely silent?) and sometimes the entire sound comes out at the desired volume.
It also does it for tone it makes when you change the volume (i.e. the first time you click vol up/down, the tone it makes is way too quite, then you have to change the volume a couple of more times to get it play at the correct volume). Hopefully this isn't something they designed on purpose, b/c if it is then that's just a terrible user experience (why would I want the preview of how loud I'm making the volume to come out at the wrong volume?)

After using my Moto X for almost a week, I'm starting to see what you're saying, but I'm not sure Motorola would see it as a bug. I've noticed more than once my phone will be sitting right in front of me, and while the screen flashes on for a notification, no sound follows it, even though my notification volume is clearly up. If I go back in and try running manual tests, the notification sound works fine. It's possible that my notification tone (I picked Tejat) is just so short, that the 1-2 seconds it plays for is enough to get lost entirely as part of that initial volume ramp up.
Also have the same issue as you with the initial press of the volume control rocker as well...this issue also seems to extend to any menus that involve picking a sound file to play (like picking a ring tone). Any initial file played will always have its first few seconds lost, and then all sounds will play fine afterwards. If you exit the selection menu and go back in, same thing happens.
My guess is that the initial time an app plays a sound, the first few seconds get lost...following that, it'll play it ok. If you exit the app, it seems like this behavior is reset...which could be where it feels like the volume is inconsistent. But this overall behavior does seem like a permanent escalating ringtone "feature".
This is definitely a "feature" that's coded in the framework. There used to be an xposed module that would take care of this and turn it off. I think it's highly specialized to each individual ROM/device, but you guys that are rooted could try it and see if it makes a difference. I know I will once I get my device.
This is part of the system I think. Because when I get a message notification although is less than one second I can hear it perfectly loud and clear even with the phone "deep sleep", but when I get a call the ringtone always sounds very smooth and after one second goes louder. I think this should be an option and no a " must have"
I have the same problem with ringtones, notifications and in-app sounds, and it all started since I upgraded to Lollipop, so I don't think this is a feature, because it didn't happen on Kitkat. Also, when using Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger I noticed that the internal sounds of these apps are messed up, they sound very very quiet or they don't sound at all.
I think we should go to Motorola forums to let them know about this annoying bug.

Agreed, this has to go up to software issue. I mainly bought the X over a Nexus 5 due to the front facing speakers, it is quite a shame that the one thing I was looking forward to has a flaw on it (at least with the lollipop update).
I've noticed this issue too ever since the Lollipop update. At first I thought I had done something wrong because I couldn't find anyone else reporting the problem, but a buddy of mine said he noticed it too. I don't see how this could possibly be an intended function, as most stock notification sounds are so short that they finish before the "crescendo" actually gets to a high enough volume. It also doesn't happen on a consistent basis. I can get one notification that is perfectly loud start to finish, and the next will start super quiet or be completely inaudible.
Does anybody know if there's a support thread for this with Motorola?
I just opened up a discussion on the Moto support forums for this issue. Hopefully something comes from it.

Not for me. ? Mine's been off for some time.
When I first got my phone music and youtube videos were really loud with the built in speakers. So much so that I had to turn the volume down a little bit for comfort. Now when I make sound it starts out very loud but quickly softens drastically. Like something is trying to auto normalize the sound to a much lower volume.
What bugs me is it used to work great. I'm on the same firmware version and such that I was on before.
Is anyone else having volume issues with their built in speakers?

I'm experiencing this too. I feel like it was designed this way. But I want to see some documentation.
Maybe you're just adjusting to the volume?? Kind of like when a fast car doesn't feel fast anymore.
Are you on a custom rom?
I'm on Stock ROM.
I know it isn't me just getting used to it. When I play some music it is really loud and vibrates my phone noticeably. After about 1 or 2 seconds though it quiets and my phone stops vibrating as much and I have a hard time discerning voices in the sound.
If I pause the video for a few seconds and start again the same thing happens. really loud then quieting.
If I turn down the video all the way then turn it up all the way fast the same things happens. I can feel the vibrations of the sound then they lessen and quiet down.
Interesting. I tried it this morning after a fresh charge and it works great now. I wonder if previously I was always testing at night when my battery was low. Perhaps this is some kind of built in battery savings scheme? When I was experiencing the issue I verified that Battery Savings mode was turned off. But perhaps this is something that auto happens when the battery is low?
I'll have to try again tonight.
I'm starting to have the same issue. Posting here for any updates, and I'll update as well if I figure out what's going on.
Me to guys....I thought I was going nuts today... Every roms got quiet audio and I'm just like wtf...so I flash stock images and STILL its quiet...I'm just wondering if its some kinda power save feature.
i've been looking through the mixer_paths.xml file to see if i can find headphones and speaker values to increase to increase volume and this mixer_paths file is different than what i'm used to with samsung and LG phones. i'm probably missing some values to see because i normally use 920 text editor but that app currently isnt working with android 5.0. has anyone found the values to change the increase volume?
I have the same issue. If i reboot the phone everything sounds great then shortly after the volume drops and its difficult to hear things. This happens evem during calls while using speaker phone. I've looked in all the settings and can not find anything to do with this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one! I have this exact issue as well.
So this actually worked on my N6 maybe it will work for yours. After a reboot problem remains. I applied small pressure evenly to the speakers with my fingers and bam problem gone. I seriously hope we don't have bad hardware. Hope this helps you guys as well.

I'm pretty sure it's a software issue. On mine, the volume does the normalization thing, but if I switch orientations it goes back to full volume before dying down again. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
Same issue here. Thought I was loosing my mind. The volume goes down tremendously after starting music via the speakerphone after about 1 or 2 seconds. I have completely reset my phone and toggled the power saving setting and I'm still having this issue. Getting very annoyed.
Same issue here. My battery was down to 4% and the volume started getting lower some times.
Also it seemed like turning the device (display rotation?, gyro sensor?) had to do with it.
I also hear some noise (crackling) when the phone is at full volume and it's not playing music.

I think it's a software issue. Whenever I notice the phone's volume is lower than it should be, I press volume up and down repeatedly then it goes back to normal. Gets annoying though.
Anyone found a solution for this or it just is what it is? Also notice the volume increases when I rotate the landscape view..then normalizes lower after a few seconds...
I've hard reset....flashed a fresh copy of 5.0.1 still no solution? Could this be a hardware issue?

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
it's not a lollipop bug, it's a Nexus 6 bug. ringtones and notifications don't do this on my Nexus 5 running Android 5.0.1.
it's a feature.
I'm pretty sure this is a feature. I'm on mobile, but if someone wants to research Lollipop changes, I'm sure it's somewhere in there. If it isn't it might be a bug.
I know I actually like it for things like alarms in the morning. I wake up less ragey.
Seriously, it's a feature. Apparently it isn't optional like it was on my S4.
What kills me is the fact that switching from regular handset during calls to speakerphone also has the delay in volume, which is just... really really dumb. I have to say "ok wait wait hold on a sec .... okay, yeah okay, keep going" every time I hit speakerphone because I can't hear anything for several seconds. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to delay a speakerphone during a call?
This is a bug in android in Nexu 6. All other Nexus are just fine. I Hate it too. We have to wait for na update.
It's not a feature cause even in games like clash of clan or Brother in arms, after a while (like just 1 hour of idling => No notification or call so basicly no things that used sound) go to one game and you'll hear the sound going from low to high..
It's clearly a bug ! and a annoying bug !
I actually like it because it's so quiet at first, nice at work or grocery store where you don't want instant loud. Vibration isn't so quiet. It'd be really nice to be able to adjust both separately. I hope Google gives us the choice.

This x 1000. If that's seriously a "feature," that's an even bigger fail than it simply being a bug.
Someone on another thread stated that this is a bug that was caught during the soak test but not fixed for launch. Take it with a grain of salt.

After some of the other answers in this thread, it gives me hope this bug will be fixed in 5.0.2 or whatever the next update is.
This is a shame, indeed. If I had read about this before, I probably wouldn't have purchased this phone! My previous one (Gnote II) had the same issue/feature, but installing the free app "Disable Increasing Ring" took care of it. Unfortunately, it has no effect on the N6. What did the developers think about, when implementing this crap without the choice to turn it off? Will I be forced to install a different ROM, just to get a normal ringtone behaviour?
This truly SUCK!

How is everyones speakers holding up? I dont always get a distortion at max volume but there are specific tones where I can hear them. The one specific example I can think of is the default alarm tone (I think its oxygen). Anyone else have a similar experience? Or is the phone supposed to be distortion free for all tones at max volume?
Thanks!
I sometimes get crackling/distortion from the top speaker but I noticed a new issue with mine last night.
I had my handset on silent and pulled down to my quick settings/tiles I switched WiFi on and held the device close to my ear, I could hear a few seconds of a 'buzzing clicking' noise then it stopped, I turned the WiFi off and the same thing again.
It happens on both the top and lower speaker and makes this noise whenever I turn on or off the wiFi or Mobile Data. It also doesn't matter if it's on silent or active notifications.
Is it just the radio being activated/turned off?
Does it happen to anyone else?
l also got my first random shutdown last night too.

The speaker issue is not actually a hardware issue It's actually a bug. Some people get panicked and apply for a replacement but there is a high chance to face the same issue on the replaced device too. But on some device it's a hardware issue which can be evident in ANY volume not in the specifically the HIGHEST volume
How can distortion be a software issue though?

The sound issue can easily be a software issue, it does not necessarily have to be distortion coming from the speaker. That word is being thrown around too easily. But the OS could be sending bad code to the speaker, which comes out sounding like distortion. With the vast amount of people claiming to have this, I am more inclined to think it is more of a software bug.
PS - How is this a "mega" thread'? Just because the OP wants it to sound like an 80's hair metal concert title?

I sometimes get crackling/distortion from the top speaker but I noticed a new issue with mine last night.
I had my handset on silent and pulled down to my quick settings/tiles I switched WiFi on and held the device close to my ear, I could hear a few seconds of a 'buzzing clicking' noise then it stopped, I turned the WiFi off and the same thing again.
It happens on both the top and lower speaker and makes this noise whenever I turn on or off the wiFi or Mobile Data. It also doesn't matter if it's on silent or active notifications.
Is it just the radio being activated/turned off?
Does it happen to anyone else?
l also got my first random shutdown last night too.
