iPhone 17 Pro Max speaker makes noise while charging

Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing well.

I purchased a silver iPhone 17 Pro Max, 512GB, ZAA model. It has been about two weeks.

When I plug it in to charge and use the phone at the same time, I hear a faint noise coming from the bottom speaker. This noise becomes more noticeable during web browsing and in some apps.

I’m not sure whether this is a common issue or not.

If you have a professional microphone, place it near the USB-C charging port (next to the speaker) and listen—you should be able to hear it.

I still don’t know whether it’s a software issue or a hardware problem.

I’ve already tried changing the cable and charger, but it didn’t help.

I also did several restores, but nothing changed.

Have any of you experienced something similar?

iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26

Expressing or conveying auditory experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging. The underlying sound issue on your iPhone cannot be accurately diagnosed from a YouTube link. Factors such as your iPhone's specific sound settings, visual defects, and potential hardware problems cannot be assessed through this method. For more personalized and in-depth assistance, I recommend securing a Genius Bar Reservation and exploring the various support options provided by Apple.
