Same static sound on my 17Pro. Checkend my girlfriend’s 15PM and …. Exactly the same. So it is part of the package and should be normal.
Talked to the Apple Support today, he said it is clearly not normal. I made a video in a quiet place so that they can hear the hissing sound. He made a report directly to the engineer department and he will receive an answer in 24 hours, tomorrow I have a meeting again with him. Then talking about next steps. It is important to report that problem to the apple support, that they can find a fix for all. Could be software or hardware related. And in case of hardware, he said, I will get a new replacement straight away.
I have a iPhone 17 pro 256gb. I don’t know anybody who had this issue before, including me.

Checked another phone. Had a iPhone 14 lying around and it had a static sound coming from the camera unit. Unless all of the phones in this household are broken (17pro/15PM/14) a louder or less loud static sound coming from the camera unit if you ear is close is normal. It is the stabilizers doing their job
Regarding the “click”, everyone is aware that Apple has hardware switches for power to their cameras, right?
I see two scenarios, we’ve got some noisy switches that click when the power to their cameras camera is turned on, or the sensor stabilization hardware on some batches may be slightly out of spec (but not faulty).

Clicking I can understand. There are motors. What I don’t understand is the hiss and pops. That concerns me.
It is the sound of the stabilizers that are constantly running while the camera app is in use.
