iPhone 17 Pro Owners Notice Static Noise From Speakers While Charging

Some iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max owners are noticing a strange sound coming from their phones while charging. The issue appears as a faint hiss, static, or crackle from the speakers. It does not affect everyone, but for those who hear it, the noise is hard to ignore.



The sound shows up in different ways. Some users hear it while playing audio and lowering the volume. Others notice it even when nothing is playing. In a few cases, the noise appears while scrolling through webpages. A small group says the hiss remains audible at low volume even when the phone is not plugged in.



MacRumors reported that several users describe the sound as being “like an old radio.” The report points to growing complaints across online forums, where users continue to flag the issue months after launch.

Reports suggest the problem does not depend on one specific charger. Users say it happens with wired chargers, Apple’s official power adapters, and MagSafe accessories. MagSafe charging often produces a quieter sound, but it does not eliminate it. Unplugging the phone stops the noise right away.



The severity varies. Many describe the hiss as subtle. Others hear a low crackle or constant static that becomes more noticeable in quiet rooms. Because the sound is faint, some believe the issue affects more devices than reported, but only sensitive listeners notice it.



Some users have replaced their iPhone 17 Pro units, hoping a new device would solve the problem. In several cases, the replacement phones showed the same behavior. Software updates released so far have not fixed it.



One user says Apple support acknowledged the complaint and passed it on to engineers. Apple has not shared details about a fix. For now, the issue remains unresolved for users who continue to hear the noise while charging.
