I recently dropped my scanner from around 3 feet, it did not even get a scratch. Too bad this was the 2nd time in 3 years. Every so often there is a strange rattle or vibration in the speaker. If I had to describe it I would say it sounds as if the scanner was lying on its back with a grain of salt on the speaker, bouncing around. The sound has a small distortion. Then again it reminds me of a cracked speaker or one with a tiny tear. Is it common for these speakers to go bad after a couple of years?

The 396T has a well documented history for speakers going bad. Typically though... it has been reported that they completely stop working as opposed to the distortion you describe.
I May open it up and pull out the speaker. A piece of material could have made it in the speaker area and is causing the problem. I noticed last night it sometimes quit. I turned it up to 15 just now and it is almost like a small fiber or wire is against the speaker cone during transmission. Just a weird effect that may could be fixed.

Given that you've hijacked the OP's thread... I'll just say that it sounds as if the audio IC has blown. Does it still receive (as in, stops scanning when a signal is being received)?? For further advice, I would suggest you start your own thread.
