If you can hear nothing at all with the volume at which you play normal audio, then it's working properly. Scratching sounds at high volume usually indicate speaker distortion, which is fairly standard except on high end audio equipment. If you hear scratching (but not continuous staticky scratching) at the normal volume, your headphones are struggling, and you should do fine by lowering the volume by about 25%. If you hear continuous staticky scratching, either the phone or the headphones cannot reproduce the pitches properly.
