It happened the same around a month ago to me.

Apple gave me a new phone as they couldn't figure it out.

My SE was doing that noise but my partner's one wasn't. So I asked him to open whatsapp camera and it started to do the noise.


I know now that is from Whatsapp but I'm not happy with it. It's a £400's phone and this should be fixed or been given an answer.

I have the same problem with my SE (2nd gen) and I brought it into the Apple store where they replaced the rear camera. The noise came back a few days later, so I ended up getting a new replacement phone from them. I didn't have this problem for the first week, but then the noise came back. I restarted the phone and the noise became a lot softer and then disappeared as I tried opening and closing the camera app a few more times. Not sure if there's a fix to this, but I definitely didn't experience this with my old SE (1st gen) or observe it with the iPhone 6 or XR :(
