Take a piece of aluminum foil. Fold it over so its a bit bigger than your phone. Lay it down on the desk. Put the phone on top of it. See if the speaker buzz from your phone is gone. Works for me and several people I've suggested it to...

I've also tried this in my car, placing a piece of aluminum foil under a rubber mat where I place my phone, and it works pretty well there too...
