iphone 3gs - possible problem with mic

Not sure if anyone else's experienced this problem but the mic on my iphone 3gs appears to be very poor or there's something I'm not aware that I should've activated. People can hardly hear my voice when I make or receive calls initially - I have to almost shout. I've been told I sound as though I'm making a call under a shower! However after a while it seems to clear up and apparently I'm coming through louder but still with the 'shower' interference in the background. Is this a known problem? I'm on version 3.1.2 (7D11) and have only had the phone for 3 weeks.

Also in the worst case scenario, if I took the phone back would they give me a refurb or a new one?

Cheers for anyone's help.
