It’s unclear at this point if the noise is a general issue of all iPhone 7 models or if it is just a problem with defective batches.

While it might be frustrating to some users, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are enormously powerful pieces of silicon capable of performing tasks at incredible speeds.
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus owners have been talking about a hissing sound that has been coming from their devices.
In addition, AppleInsider reports that other iPhone 7 users are experiencing trouble finding service after switching their phones back to a cellular network after being on Airplane Mode. Although the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have just been released this still could be an issue worth looking into. Also I noticed that when turning on the phone you can hear it very well, I guess because of the extra processing that is being done while booting the device. Hackett took to Twitter and wrote, “My iPhone 7 Plus makes bad noises when under load”.
I dug out my capacitive gloves to put the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus’s Home button to the test, and indeed, I was able to click the button. Hackett said in the video that the noise appeared when the phone was updating and downloading from the cloud.
The first comes from Reddit user DigitalDK, who took his new iPhone 7 Plus to Mt. Washington and other New Hampshire-area scenes.
Either way, Apple is taking no chances, with Hackett tweeting that the tech giant’s support told him to return to an Apple Store in order to have the phone replaced.
“…after putting a series of devices through high-intensity CPU/GPU activity, which pulls much more power than normal daily use, they all sounded roughly the same.”

Despite social media attention and news reports about the issue, Apple declined to comment.
