Some iPhone 7 owners report hissing sounds [MERGED]

Can confirm my black 7+ does this as well :/

Is anyone else's Iphone 7 plus creaking? Noticed it when pressing next to the home button.
Took it out the case and if you grab the top and bottom it will creak with slight movement or the smallest twist.

You're twisting it wrong.

You're twisting it wrong.

lol

 

[Eallan]

Yep. Mine does. Noticed it immediately

 

[kybldmstr]

Mine does it too. Noticed this yesterday. I hope nothing is wrong with the water proofing

Now you guys got me twisting my phone. You know...

 

[jtwlbz]

No issues with mine.

All the people that charge their phone and listen to music with headphones while subjecting the device to torque forces must be really disappointed!

Thats what I was thinking if perhaps the water resistant seals have anything to do with it.

My 6s creaked, had it replaced last month after they changed the screen and it still creaked.

Do you have the HissGate in iPhone 7 or 7 plus?

 

[ToddH]

Have not heard it. It seems to only happen when the iPhone is under a heavy load...game, etc. that's what I had read. I have the iPhone 7 plus silver, 256gb

 

[renet]

some people claim to have this issue even if the phone are locked doing nothing.

I have it, but literally if I have to jam my ear to the phone its not an issue IMO. Plus I hear similar on my older iPhones and the gadgets, so silly this "issue" yes some people have it, but if you have to stick your ear to the phone backwards in a silent room thats just not a concern IMO. It doesn't have any issues with my calls, video, gaming anything. Had that thread never started, I never would have even heard the sound.

Maybe add to poll - something like I don't know/I haven't tested.

 

[Bhs1975]

Probably from the capacitors. My wrt1900ac router does the same thing when the radios are transmitting.

 

[TitsLegendary]

If I have it, I haven't noticed it. My 7+ is nice and quiet as far as I'm aware.

 

[mzd]

I hear the exact same level of noise from my iP7 and iP6 when pressed up to my ears. I never noticed it on the 6 in the 2 years I've had it.

Creakgate

Oh boy, here we go. Another "gate." Lmbo!

 

[0r30]

creakgate!

 

[Shadowbech]

Mine does not do this.

 

[sotorious]

Mine does it as well

I'm also getting Rattle noise on longer vibrations that some apps use.
