What’s The Mystery Behind Hissing iPhone 7s

Apple's iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus makes a hissing sound which may pretty much disappoint you

 

Apple’s iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus phones are reportedly having a hissing problem. The issue was first noted by 512 Pixels’ Stephen Hackett, who posted about the same on Twitter, and also shared a YouTube link to the hissing sound from his iPhone 7 Plus. [Check out the video here]

Hackett wrote on Twitter, “My iPhone 7 Plus makes terrible noises when under load,” and has added the YouTube link. And his complaint has been corroborated by others as well who are facing the same problem.

TechCrunch writer Darrell Etherington also posted on Twitter saying a brand new, just un-boxed iPhone 7 Plus was doing the same thing, aka the hissing sound. It seems the iPhone 7 series is making this hissing sound, which is what is known as a ‘coil noise’ made by a high-powered processor when under load.

At present, there are several theories about why this is happening, even though nobody knows the real cause behind it.

Engadget Jon Fingas said that "some suspect coil whine or similar electromagnetic effects." He also points out that it's not a universal problem because he has "tested an iPhone 7 using 3DMark 'Ice Storm Extreme,' a performance benchmark that puts the processor under serious strain, and heard no hissing at all."

Apple Insider speculated that it "could involve the RF transmitter or some other form of interference with the speaker system."

According to iMore, this hissing sound is not just an iPhone 7 problem. The author noted that pretty much all devices make this ‘hissing noise’ especially in “high-intensity CPU/GPU activity.”

Apple has so far declined to comment on ‘hissing-gate.' Instead it reminded iPhones had faced the bending issue, but it was still one of the most talked about things for the iPhone 6 Plus launch.
