Sound is distorted

Volume level is set too high

Decrease the volume

Sound source is distorted

If  the iPod original sound source (MP3) is old or of poor quality, distortion
and noise are easily noticed with high-power speakers. Try a different
audio source such as a music CD.

If you are using an external sound source like older generation of iPod
or iPod Shuffle, try reducing the output volume on the device itself. Also
try turning bass boost OFF.
