Hello,
For months I often hear a strange noise when answering a call coming in to my phone (verizon blackberry curve). Both parties can hear the noise. It sounds like a loud cow or high pitched ENNN, lasting 1-2 seconds and after the other person always says "What the **** was that?" Strange...
I read someone that it has to do with the vibrate mode not shutting off in time. Is that the case? If so, is there fix? I leave my phone on vibrate. Want to make sure this is a known issue since verizon had no idea what it was and it has happened on 2 curves already. It is a little scary.
It sounds like you talking about the Speaker phone blast. Sometimes it sounds kind of like a bad fog horn. As plunkingtom said the newer OS (.138) generally fixes the problem.

Verizon, and it's website will say you are up to date. However, you can load any of the higher OS versions you want as long as you follow the directions about deleting the vendor.xml file before loading the OS to your BB.
Also, if you are using Desktop Manager 4.7, you will need to disconnect your internet before opening Desktop Manager, or it wont let you load the OS on your BB.
These OS versions will rid your BB of the speakerblast problem: 4.5.0.131, 4.5.0.138, and 4.5.0.160
Also, if you are using Desktop Manager 4.7, you will need to disconnect your internet before opening Desktop Manager, or it wont let you load the OS on your BB.
I would also recommend deleting DM 4.7 and downgrade to 4.6. For me it has been far less problematic.
