This is a bit odd, and maybe a firmware update could resolve the issue with the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max’s audio and the strange hissing noise that’s surfaced.
Users have stated that the issue surfaces when they’ve been playing audio or turned the volume down, while others say the static is audible without anything playing from the speakers. In some cases, there is a low crackle or a hiss when scrolling through webpages when the iPhone is charging, and some people hear the noise at low volumes even when the iPhone isn’t on a charger.
The affected users noted that the noise can be heard while using chargers of all types, including Apple’s official units. MagSafe charging also seems to trigger the issue as well, although users reported that the static noise was quieter in these instances. Unplugging the iPhone from the charger eliminates the sound for users who are experiencing the static noise when charging.
Some iPhone 17 Pro users have exchanged their devices for new ones, but have run into the same issue.
One Reddit user who was in contact with Apple’s support personnel stated that the issue has been forwarded to Apple’s engineers, and that Apple is apparently working on a fix. To date, the iOS updates that have been released so far do not appear to solve the problem. The sound is subtle, according to most reports, so it may be a widespread issue that only those sensitive to the noise have noticed.
