Some iPhone 7 owners report hissing sounds [MERGED]

[Alexrat1996]

Who knows???!! use magnifying glass next time to find any micro defect in your next replacement

I tired that once and never found anything on my iPhone 5s

If you continue looking for problems you'll continue to find problems.

JUST. USE. YOUR. PHONE.

It's not that I just want them to fix my current phone so I can keep the same one

The iPhone 6 does this. Old news....

No it does not I have two iPhone 6 one 128 GB and 64GB

Your sample size is insufficient to come to any conclusion about ALL iPhone 6.

Just like not all iPhone 7's have this issue, it is possible that an iPhone 6 does. Your opinion is not the final answer.

First full day today with my new phone. I don't think I have the hissing problem. Where should I be listening for it on the phone?

Stethoscope to apple logo and run a massive app.

Jk.

If you don't hear it you don't have it.

Mines has hiss gate notice it while running geek bench mark 4 on the iPhone 7 jet black on the back Apple logo hopefully Apple will swap this time. First time they swap no hiss but that one was replaced due to dust under display but this replacement does make the hiss noise

Really impressive. You downloaded the GeekBench utility just so you can hear your phone hiss?

As others have said, if you go looking for flaws with your tech devices, you will probably find something. Just use the damn thing and stop obsessing about it.

Lol. Cool I'm really liking this phone. Maybe the later models are not having the issue.

It sure does. I held it up to my ear after I got my 7plus and it makes the same processor whine. Not as loud but it's there. You will be amazed on how many devices "coil whine" it's not just iPhones. Your iPhone may completely burn in the chip and it may never make the noise or it may not. My 7plus jet black whines but it doesn't bother me. Because I am use to it.

 

[rudedude]

Own what I'm assuming is a later model 7+, it hisses under stress and I can hear it if I put my ear right next to it. Doesn't bother me. It's probably coil whine, that just means my phone works hard to make me happy. It really doesn't hurt any part of the phone and isn't noticeable unless I'm looking for it.
Stop putting your phone up to your ear unless you have a call.

 

[Sensamic]

Can you hear it when your phone is at a normal distance from your ear while you're playing a game?

You'll hear it on recorded videos. It destroys the video.

 

[maxsix]

It's very real. But it's just a characteristic of the phone. I'm sure if problems arise they'll be addressed at some point.

I will compare a friends phone first

 

[sookainian]

My iphone 7 plus JB 256gb also have the hissing sound. Apple sent me a replacement but also have hissing sound.

My gf iPhone 7 plus JB 128gb totally silent.

 

[bsmr]

You're only writing about iPhone 7s... What about iPhone 7. No one using it, or no hissing?

Another forum member spoke with Apple on the concern and commented earlier that the hissing noise is contributed to a more powerful processor under an intense load, causing the coil noise. It's not uncommon, Annoying yes, but not necessarily defective.

But some Apple Store are replacing them

I heard Pennsylvania Apple Stores are not.

Right. And many others have stated their replacement devices are still making the hissing noise or it appears it slightly fainter. None the less, it's not been deemed a hardware failure. It also depends on the tasking loads you are subjecting the iPhone too. Not everyone may or may not notice, depending on how you use the iPhone.

There 6 Apple Store in my county

I had mine replaced today actually. In Phoenix. Genius Bar rep said it was a known issue and they are replacing many for this issue. He said my phone would be sent to engineering to try an determine the cause of the hiss.

They did have it in stock or did they have to order you one

After the release of a new model, Apple engineers will often request that the Genius Bar reps "capture" a number of devices that exhibit various reported issues so that the engineers can investigate the reports and decide what modifications can be made to fix any issues.

They did have it in stock or did they have to order you one

Following release, Apple typically reserves a limited number of each model and configuration for warranty issues. As time passes, and more devices are reconditioned, Apple will have a supply of reconditioned/refurbished devices in each model and configuration for warranty exchanges.
