    Has it only just started doing this? I'm guessing the device wasn't dropped or anything?

    Try a restart with the holding of both volume buttons. See if that helps.

    Nope I havent drop my phone, at first I thought there is something wrong with my external speakers but then when I test the alert tone in notification settings it sounds clear.. I mean there Is no problem at all, so I guess the reason why it cracks is because the notification tone lags..

    I'm not sure this is the same thing but if I'm using my z10 and something comes in, the tone is kind of squelched or cut off. It is like the z10 stops the sound since I'm already using the phone and am probably aware that a message/notification arrived.

    Try a full battery pull for 1 minute at least. Turn phone off first. should fix your problem

    I think thats normal, you accidentally interrupt the notification sound.. but in my case the tone is like coming from a broken speaker.. its cracking..

    I did experience this once in a while. It happened to me when I used a ringtone which exceeded the normal db threshold.
    (Had to check it via Audacity)
    If the ringtone isn't in the normal db range, more often than not, it cracks or produces weird sound.

    Build-in tones causing cracking sound. This is first for me.
    Tried changing volume settings?
    Maybe max volume is causing the issue or there might be a speaker issue which cannot handle max volume.
    Also see, if it happens in headphones also.

    Yes it also happens even im using headphones.. I dont think it has something to do with my external speakers.. coz I tested the sound in notification settings.. and it has a clear sound..no cracks.. I think the incoming alert tone.. is lagging..
