I have checked further in these forums so I'm just going to quote it.
it's a warning that the sound generated from the game is set to maximum. The speaker icon is self-evident, and the bit to the right is a fader set to maximum. Nothing to do with lag.
Of course, your external devices via which you are actually hearing the sound may not be so loud, and even may be muted.

Turning down the volume might be able to get rid of this.
Appreciate you checking but this is incorrect, as much as i wish it wasn't. I have tried changing maximum sound and all other sound settings within game and in ps4 and this symbol does not go away. I play with my in-game sound set to 90%
For reference, I've checked forums, twitter, reddit and even contacted EA support. There's no info on it. Subsequently i have also tried to tweet @playapex and haven't gotten any replies.
Yep, that indeed sucks quite a lot.
Some say it's caused by audio feedback picked up by your microphone, though others have debunked this.
Seems to just be a bug where the icon is on the screen for no actual reason.
It surprises me that there isn't actually information on this, it's been here for quite a while.
Could be that it's being caused by speakers or headphones, reconnecting them could possibly get rid of this... so maybe that's worth a try if you haven't already?
Oh well, I do hope we can get an answer soon regarding this issue.
It seems to be related to headphones but why it's persistent and why i cant turn it off is extremely frustrating since it is damaging my tv. What's really bothering me is that I didn't see this symbol earlier. I started noticing it since season 9 and ive been playing this game since launch.
I hope apex support can look into this and provide info. I am not sure what else to do here.
