Enable Noise Cancellation on your Device
Almost every Android smartphone, these days are equipped with a very useful setting for Noise Cancellation during calls. It mainly cancels out the background noise and gives a better call experience to the receiver, but on certain devices, it can also block or cancel out sounds coming from the other end. To check if your device has this feature or if it supports it, go to Settings on your phone and then Call Settings. If you see an option for Noise cancellation/reduction, enable that option and give it a try.

Flashing your device with a new Kernel and Custom ROM
Another the last workaround for devices is to install a newer custom kernel for your device and then install a new custom ROM on your device. You can browse through the XDA forums to find out the latest and most stable kernel for your device which will help you increase call volume to an extent. Also, installing a custom ROM will also help you at times. Though keep this in mind that this option is for more techie people and if you don’t understand the meaning of the word custom ROM or Rooting, this method is not for you.
Conclusion
The workarounds we have shared in this post will help you to increase your call volume on Android devices but do keep in mind that increasing it to the maximum possible value can damage the hardware on your device and also affect your hearing in the long run. Keeping the volume at the highest is not recommended for longer periods of time.
