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

Spoke to my local Apple Store this morning about a separate issue and mentioned my replacement phone is just as bad as the previous one. The guy checked and they have replacements in stock, and one has been put aside. Back I go today, will be checking build week before accepting this time.
Just face it everyone; either live with it, keep swapping it out or return it. This issue is not worth Apple's time or money.
I'm starting to think you're right. The silence is deafening. I've gone through 2 separate 7 Pluses and both have the static and hissing in the beginning of videos.
Swapped for a week 42 build. Currently restoring and holding it hard against my ear I can only just hear it, same as my old 6S+ that never had any video issues. Nowhere near as bad as the week 36 and 39 before this. Yet to record a video, but I'm confident this one isn't going to be a problem.
I'm now convinced there's something wrong with the earlier builds.

honestly i look like a bit of a scruffy dude and im
honestly i also noticed week 42 compared to my week 36 runs ALOT cooler. dont know if similar to others experience.
My week 42 gets lot hotter on the back , when I am playing games or running benchmark for few minutes . Can you pls try to run the benchmark and see if your gets hot on the back ?
My 7 Plus that I just got a few days ago is dead silent when running benchmarks. But it has the video hissing sound. Which is bad enough. Pretty sure I'm returning and waiting to see if this gets fixed in any way. I REALLY want this phone! But I don't want my $1000 phone messing up family videos!

Hope. My second 7+ is on its way for home. Straight from online Apple Store. Way too slow, however. No shame to show it's coming from china.

Had an awful experience getting Apple phone support (had to take it all the way to Customer Relations) to replace my original phone. The replacement hissed just as bad. Customer Relations told me its a known issue, no point replacing the phone again as they all do it, wait for Apple to fix the problem first. I begrudgingly accepted the fact. However a friend of mine got a 7 plus just the other day, sent me a video she took on it, and the hiss is way quieter. So I called Apple again, and they agreed to another replacement right away. Should get it in the next week or so.
Apple's iPhone used to be the only product I would buy right out of the gate without fear of hardware bugs. Now it seems that you have to wait a few months for the build to calm down.
Keep swapping to stick it to Apple and use more of their money.
i remeber i bought Iphone 6 with eyes closed when released from local, i still have this phone no issue,
im also using samsung s7 edge, samsung phones are still high quality, never got any issue in 6 years of purchasing their product, not even dust or dead pixel things which i care alot,
and when iphone 6s launched they made me cry, i bought it at released day, i got 1 MM big dust on first BOX,
from then i replaced 6 box of iphone 6s with dust and dead pixel, i doubt that all bad batch is in INDIA as B GRADE Batch...
now i wanted to buy iphone 7,
i hadnt bought that on released day that was 7 OCtober, do you think i can Buy now?

yes. just buy it, make sure return it within 14 days if got problem and buy online again not at apple store or you will end up refurbished. keep this going until you get a good one. this is how all now was doing. LoL
If that could help : I have noticed a static sound on the following:
1-My two iPhone 7 Plus, brand new + replacement
2-My husband's phone (WIKO, a French brand)
3-My niece's iPhone 5S
All 4 devices came with static / buzzing noises from the back case.

Hi, my 6S Plus does also produce a low static sound too when I stick my ear to the back case, which I forgot to mention; now, may the fact that the noise coming from 7 Plus sounds louder not result from its more "powerful" A10 chip ? Well, it's been one month and a half now since release, and most iPhones 7 seem to produce a static sound, with no negative consequences whatsoever on the reliability of the devices. What do you make of that, guys ? Would be glad to hear your opinion
