Exactly this. Checking the week of the phone is not accurate. I have a week 38 phone too which has zero issues except a very soft hissing noise when u stick to ur ears

Think all this depend on luck.. like my is 38 weeks also no problem.

7+ Matt black 256gb

When video is recording, can still hear a bit of the hissing but really much much better because the previous set is hissing non stop as long as the screen is on (nothing running)

White noise is higher than my 6s and likely due to a more sensitive mic.

Tried testing against my other iPhone 7 (not plus) also get a fair bit of white noise.

I booked an appointment but I lodged the case earlier with Singtel, then Apple technical helpline and then was handled by an apple iOS specialist located in Bay Area.. Was given a ticket number and he also emailed me directly with his contacts in case I cannot change my set.

Anyway i just ran octane2.0 and there was almost no hissing except a very very faint one or two when start.

Yes then shldnt be a problem. Only when your phone sound like that or worse than this then it's very bad alr. Cos video / calls all can hear. And this will also cos phone to heat easily! Glad yours doesnt have this issue!

Mine is also 7+ 256.. Guess is white noise.. Doesn't sound like that and so loud

i got my replacement from QCD for my hiss sound unit (Iphone 7 plus). The replacement also have same hiss sound issue.

And they said test with 3rd - party app (3D mark) is not accepted. even got sound LOL WTH.

So, i tested with ALL "STOCK" app that totally can't make CPU in stress load state.
Eventually, no hiss sound and i have to accept the replacement.

So, guys i need to make another appointment try on ALAB? :(

Old unit week 39 , current replacement unit week 38

Went a.lab ps yesterday evening after work to exchange my 7+ matte black 256.
Due to super loud hissing/coil even if I on the screen to check the timing, which comes with 3 dots on screen and 3 dots at the back. Hahaha.

Without appointment, so waited for 3.5hrs to get everything done.

Now replacement set with model NN at the front, but week 35, no more hissing sound, completely silent.

Don't need to be so concerned about the week as Long as it's working fine without issues.

So I guess the manufactured week doesn't play a part on the presence or absence of the hiss? Just see our luck?
