iPhone 15 Pro Max on iOS 26.0.1 recordings have constant hissing noise

Recently, all my audio recordings on any voice recorder app have a loud constant hissing noise in the background, regardless of how loud or quiet the source sound is. This issue started recently.

If you use a cover for your iPhone, try removing it and testing the audio recording. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, please do a forced restart.

If the forced restart doesn’t resolve the issue, please contact Apple Support. You need to have Apple perform diagnostics on your iPhone. It can be done in person at an Apple Retail Store or at an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also contact Apple Support and request remote diagnostics.
