Oh okay that's good to hear. I hope they can reduce the mic sensitivity in a software update.
Got a tip for us?

Buzzing / static sound coming from back of new iPhone 7 Plus

It's probably one that lowers the processor speed to cut the noise out. Lol
Oh sorry got confused lol, I actuallly can't hear anything unless I put my phone right up super close to my ear other then that I hear nothing, I can hear the hissing on video playback but that's if I do a video in a quite room with no noise but if I do a video that has ppl talking etc I hear nothing.
So I was at regent street apple store today, bought another 7 plus. Ended up getting week 37 model which was quite similar but softer in noise. Returned it on the spot. Got my existing week 39 swapped out. They only had a week 38 unit to spare. Noise seems so much more faint, almost gone but the speakers are not as loud on this 
Will go back after 2 weeks to see if can get a Week 41 unit.

These two are mine, recorded on the weekend. I'm talking to Apple now to see what they have to say.
Not sure if you should "put it on your face to hear better", a malfunctioning product that can burn you badly and contains acid in the battery. Better just return it.
I dont think that they will fix it anytime soon. It is a major harware flaw. Just because some Report 41 phones are fine doesnt mean anything
You don't think they will fix What exactly? What is there to be fixed? We don't know if it's a major hardware flaw and it also does not render the iPhone inoperable. Some have stated it's from when the processor is under a heavy load and causing a coil wind, which so happens to be near the microphone when recording.

That's a good point. I think a software update could contribute to assisting in the microphone. I doubt there ever would be a hardware fix, at least until Apple admits
This.

Same here. No issues. Not sure the pattern of how those are being affected. Fortunately for me.
Yeah personally I feel this is a dying issue. I'm not about to get caught all up with trying to return or get a replacement, 8im just accepting it and it is what it is. I doubt I will be recording someone that quiet on video where I can hear the noise.
Yep I record and all I hear is a eeeeee whiteish noise.. but my first phone had that coil/weird/sounds from the back of phone this is dead silent
