You're right. Maybe I can say the 6s sounds more "rich". Whatever the word, louder doesn't equal better in the case of the 7.

Considering canceling my iPhone 7 and get a 6s plus

This the new apple were dealing with not Samsung. Prepare to be disappointed for i8
i just returned the 7+black 32 GB for the 7(4.7) 128 GB. the screen and display of the + was fantastic but i just didn't care for the feel, the functionality and overall, size of the plus. just to used to the 4.7. i may regret it, but it's just a phone and i heard APPLE may be doing a new one next year 
Have you had a plus before? Many find the size unwieldy but I knew I preferred it less than a minute after taking it out of the box.
I've had every model on launch day and this is the first time that I've definitively known that upgrading was a mistake. Go for the exchange. You won't be sorry.
That is a feature of iOS 10 which can be turned off in Settings and is not a "part" of the iPhone 7. You will experience the same when you upgrade your 6S to iOS 10 unless you turn off the setting.
Iv'e decided to return my 7 and keep using my 6.

This thread should be called the buyers remorse thread.
iPhone 7 rumours come out throughout the year, then Apple have a keynote and tells you how wonderful the new iPhone 7 will be and whips everyone into a frenzy.
Everyone is then is desperate rush to be the first to get their amazing new iPhone and when it arrives they unbox it and hold it in their hands and can say to everyone "yes, I'm one of the first to own an iPhone 7".
Soon after, they restore the backup from their current iPhone 6 or 6s, put in a case and realise there is minimal difference between their new phone 7 and their old one. Then they see how much it cost and quickly try to come up with a valid reason why they can return it.
After the initial unboxing, holding and tinkering, the excitement quickly wears off and buyers remorse kicks in.

That's true but if this year's version was all that and a bag of chips as it shoulda been, there would have been much less byers remorse.
Um - no. And I for one don't appreciate the disparagement.
There are issues with unnatural colors with photos/video, yellow screen, home button issues with gloves, etc.
Video sums it up nicely why I'm returning it. I'm not broke like he says, but it is a 'want' vs a 'need'.
Yes, it's not like Samsung has had any recent issues with quality control.
Can I get 5 minutes of my life back. lol That was a waste.
Exploding batteries scare me more than any noise issues. However, I do not say that to downplay the annoyance you feel. If you are unhappy, you should vote with your dollar so I don't blame you one bit.
I'm not really a video taking guy and I got the smaller one so I am loving the quality of my 7.
These are all niggles/gripes that happen every time Apple release a phone and lots are blown out of proportion fuelled by news outlets looking for a story.
In fact, just look back to the 6s release and you'll find thread with similar problems.
Here's one about unnatural colours/saturation on the iPhone 5 when it was released in 2012

Here's one about yellow screens for the 6s from September 2015
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/6s-yellow-tint.1921046/
There's a "yellowgate" "bendgate" "antennagate", "compassgate" every year and this year is no different. If you purchase an iPhone 7 on release you're an early adopter and with that comes these so called issues. The phone has been out a week yet and iOS 10 hasn't been out for long either. If your looking for a perfect product on release day, you're going to be a very unhappy person.
Thought I'd resurrect this thread and add myself to the list. Yesterday was day 12 of using the iPhone 7+ and I'll be shipping it off tonight.
There's nothing wrong with my 7+. Yes, it click/creaks and yes I can hear the buzzing on the back, but those aren't an issue for me really. The 7+ just isn't that much better than the 6s+.
Yes, it's water resistant, but after watching some tear down videos of how it's water protected, I haven't changed my behavior. I still wouldn't go swimming with it and I've changed my mind about showering with it.
Yes, it has a better camera and telephoto lense, but I really haven't used it for anything other than testing it out.
Yes, it's got great battery life, but my 6s+ is right there with it.
Yes, it's fast. But the the 6s+ is faster than pretty much everything except the 7+
In summary, It's just not worth going from the 6s+ To the 7+ IMO. That's not a knock against the 7, that's a testament to how outstanding the 6s+ is.

Settings > Accessibility > Home Button > Rest Finger to Open.
Turn this on, and instead of clicking home button twice to unlock, you can click once and then keep your finger on the home button for it to read your fingerprint and unlock, like it did under iOS 9.
