I'm not sure what you are describing as squeal, but the iPhone will play a tone when plugged in. As far as the home button for the iPhone 7, it uses a haptic engine to provide a slight vibration when you press the button. Although it is not an actual button, it is a virtual button. The haptic vibration is to let you know that you did something with the button.
