Sonos Move static/crackling noise

Hi @teva995, welcome to the community.

I’ve taken a quick look at your diagnostic and don’t see any signs of major interference. What I do see though, is that your Move appears to disconnect from your network rather frequently, though this would likely result in a complete stoppage of the music rather than static sounds. Is the issue easily reproducible? If so, I recommend getting a short video recording of the problem as well as another diagnostic as soon as possible afterwards and getting in touch with our customer care team. They’ll be able to take a much closer look at what’s going on with your Move and work to find a solution for you.

Hi, 

I’ve experienced the same with my Sonos Move, it just randomly cracks and has static, which I wouldn’t expect at all, let alone from a Sonos speaker. I have Beams and Sonos 1’s and they work fine, only the Move. Any advice as it’s nigh unusable with this static and often end up switching to far cheaper and more basic portable speakers which defeats the point of the move. 
 

Many thanks in advance for any help.

As James L said, this does not sound like a network problem - typically you will get the sound output stopping if there is interference/poor reception on the network side. It’s not impossible that some other nearby electrical appliance is generating a lot of electrical noise due to a fault, but IMO that is unlikely.

Otherwise, it seems likely that the Move itself is faulty and you should be considering a warranty claim, provided it is still within the warranty period.

I have the same problem with static and crackling sounds. Diagnostic number 783392413. Please contact me to let me know how to fix or how to return for new speaker. Less than 1 year old. 

Hi @Jlivingston16,

I’m going to give you the same advice as the OP in this thread. There’s nothing in your diagnostic to signal any interference issues or networking problems, so I recommend getting a short video recording of the problem as well as another diagnostic as soon as possible afterwards and getting in touch with our customer care team. They’ll be able to take a much closer look at what’s going on with your Move and work to find a solution for you.

This is my second Sonos move I’ve only had it a couple of months and the same thing crackling only through Bluetooth not through Wi-Fi tried resetting it everything that they’ve said and still no joy 😩

What response did you get from the Customer Care Team, as suggested in the post immediately before yours?

They gave me a short video on how to reset it I’ve done that twice but this Sonos move is the second one I’ve had replaced there obviously is a problem with them it only does it through Bluetooth not through Wi-Fi I don’t understand 😩

What device are you connecting to the Move over Bluetooth? Have you perhaps tried a different device, just to see if the issue goes away?
