Weird Sound Problem on iphone5?

While I am talking on the phone while driving, the iphone5 makes you feel like your ears are popping... Does anyone else notice this? I've asked 3 people and all 3 people said they noticed the same weird sound problem. It almost sounds like sticking your ear up to a seashell on the beach or something-

iPhone 5, iOS 6

I have the same issue only unlike some of you who says it only happens when your driving, mine is doing it all the freaking time. Even in the silence of a room. It's ******* me off I'm having problems with the iPhone 5 left and right. Guess I'm going to have to make a "genius" appointment.....again. Really disappointed by apple. This is the start of a downward slope. I might need to switch to Samsung.

Change my phone 3 times and nothing.... Genius don't tell u anything, seems like they are not allowed to give any info, and even pretend that they never heard of that problem before!I saw on the internet that if you cover the little whole between the flash and the camera it will stop. It is something to do with the noise reduction system. I cover the whole with tape and it worked!! It was good for a month now the tape came off and the problem is back again. Very hard to keep such a tiny peace of tape in place for long ttime. Now, we have a phone that cost over $ 700 dol and the only way you won't get sick is with tape??!! Well, I guees Galaxy here I go!!!
