Actually I would and anyone should be concerned about any equipment they're putting up to their ear emitting a high frequency output.
Otherwise, the root could be a connector issue to the battery as part of the manufacturing process, akin to what happens with adaptors like this:
.
My official one did it, and would create more sound under greater load. You can hear buzz through headphones under greater load as well on an iMac.
Let's hope it's not a battery issue that gets to Samsung magnitude.

I haven't heard mine make this noise, but if I did, I would let it bother me in the slightest as long as everything was operating normally. I can't believe the things people complain about these days, Id feel really stupid taking back to an Apple store and asking for a replacement because it makes a very faint noise when it is operating. Standing there both of you with your ears to it trying to detect the noise. Wow.
That's Steve Jobs speaking from the grave. He's demanding for macOS to have big cat names again.
My 2013 iMac makes some silent hissing/buzzing sound when processing a video in Final Cut Pro X or Motion. But on a phone? I hope my model won't have this fault.
That's why I will have to wait for iPhone 7s. Every major iPhone changes [4(antennagate), 5(scuffgate), 6(bendgate), and now 7(hissgate)] has an issue compare to iPhone "s" series.
It's not the processor, processors don't make noise.
This explains everything. It's due to inductors in the logic board
It seems to be hiss and mit...
my macbook air has made a sound when it was working for ages. It sounds like an extremely faint sound of what a spinning hard drive would make, most noticable when you put your ear right on the computer. My guess is that it is the solid state storage chips as it seems to happen most on heavy disk access rather than heavy processing...should have used samsung flash instead of toshiba
This is what happens when Apple rushes there new phone to market. j/k
j/kI have a Verizon 7+ that is doing it. Only noticed after reading this thread and listening extremely closely. Not going to bother me at this point.
It could be. Contrast this with Samsung who reportedly rushed the Note 7 with too big of a battery and saw the launch blow up in their faces.
Tested my iPhone 6S plus, when stressed you need to put it right to your ear to hear it, nothing like the videos.
Very aware of coil noise in computers, one should not settle for it, I've replaced hardware and received another unit that did not suffer from it. 2013 Mac pros suffered from it, mine does not, nor would I accept it at the price.
If you have to put you ear right next to the phone, I don't consider it an issue. As long as it's not heard during daily tasks, even when stressed
