I see Apple PR has now jumped out onto the thread to quell any anti-Apple comments and post links to Samsung Note 7 fire stories ... must have been a longer than normal line up at the coffee bar.

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Exhibiting 'Hissing' Noises Under Load for Some Users

it's just the floppy spinning up folks nothing to worry about. no seriously mine doesnt make a sound at all. i have no issues so far
This is a really interesting Bloomberg story on how the Note 7 battery issue came to be: Here's a link.
I think Apple knew about exploding Samsung phones before Samsung shipped them. They timed the iPhone 7 launch to happen right after people's handsets started exploding to take advantage of the poor press for Samsung.
I couldn't find the snakesound setting. Make a video and show us where it is.
Joking.
I don't know if Apple changed their iPhone 7 release plans and date due to the Samsung battery issue. But I'm certain that issue had a LOT to do with Apple's decision to not release first week's sales numbers.
According to this story, Samsung execs were closely monitoring Apple's iPhone 7 development.
No hissing here whatsoever. Totally silent as far as I can tell (quiet room and I have good ears... I'm the type to get really annoyed by buzzing LED light bulbs). 4.7", Verizon/CDMA model, 256GB, black, iOS 10.0.1
Again, these videos aren't realistic. They probably have a very advanced microphone and have turned that up to full blast so you can hear it.
Most likely it is the sound from the OIS (Optical Image Stabilization System) which involves moving the camera sensor up and down to counter jittering from the hand. Such hissing sound from the motor is very common, and inevitable, in cameras known to be equipped with such features.

There will always be a gate. Every year. The year that there isn't a gate anymore, nobody cares and Apple is in trouble.
No conspiracy here, just three facts, a device that hisses, stock shortages, the reluctance to release weekend sales figures this launch. Pretty obvious what has happened this occasion at Apple.
Probably too much water proofing adhesive getting cooked on the processor.

Also - if you put two pieces of cardboard over the top of your phone diagonally and opposite to each other it becomes a triangle. Illuminati.

My friend has the hissing on her phone. It wouldn't be much of an issue but you can hear it in videos she takes with her phone and it's annoying.
So that's how you compete with Samsung's explosive battery problem. Ping-pong. 1:1
And by the way, Note 7 battery problem happens only when using cheap USB-C cable that doesn't have a resistor like those cases with iPhones caught on fire when charging through cheap out-of-specs lightning cable or aftermarket charger.
Check out Louis Rossmann's video on YouTube "The unasked question on Samsung Note 7 explosions and why tech journalism sucks" if you're interested in details.

This is called CPU whine, it usually occurs when processors have too little to do. it usually sounds like a faint beeping sound, the original core-duo intel chip had CPU whine. This of course is a little different as it is reportedly occurring when the processor is under load, instead of idle. It would be interesting to see the ambient radio environment the hissing is occurring in, the high load hissing may be a harmonic resonance issue with other local signals. I would ask all the hissers if their wifi that is 2.4ghz or 5ghz, it would be interesting to see if there was some correlation.
I don't think this would be an issue if it affected all copies of the iPhone 7/7+ equally. I think it's the fact that there are copies that don't exhibit any noise (even under load) which will irk users. And the reason why this will be a headache for Apple. I personally don't think it's an issue except for units where the noise can be picked up while recording videos on the phone.
