If you are an iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max user and have noticed strange sounds coming from your phone during charging, you are not alone. The issue manifests as a faint hiss, static, or crackling sound from the speakers. What's worse, this sound during charging is not at a level that can be ignored. Here are the details:
iPhone 17 Pro Max Makes Sounds Like Old Radios
The sound appears in different ways. Some users hear it while playing audio and lowering the volume. Others say the sound is noticeable even when nothing is playing. The sound also occurs while browsing web pages. A small group reports that the hissing sound is present, albeit at a low level, even when the phone is not plugged in for charging.
Appears During Charging
Many users describe the problem as a sound coming from old radios. Complaints indicate that the issue is not tied to a specific charger. Users report experiencing this problem with wired chargers, Apple's official power adapters, and MagSafe accessories. MagSafe charging generally reduces the audible sound but does not eliminate it completely. The sound immediately stops when the charging cable is removed.
An Annoying Problem for Sensitive Ears
The intensity of the sound varies. Many describe the hissing sound as faint. Others hear a low crackle or a continuous, unchanging sound that becomes more noticeable in quiet environments. Due to the faintness of the sound, some believe the problem affects more devices than reported, but only sensitive listeners notice it.
Replacing the Device Does Not Solve the Problem
Some users have even requested a replacement for this issue, but this also does not solve the problem; it persists in new devices. So far, released software updates have also not resolved the issue. One user states that Apple support acknowledged the complaint and escalated it to engineers. Apple has not yet made a statement. For now, the problem remains unresolved for users who continue to hear the sound during charging.
