Crackling charging noises during high power draw on iPhone 17 Pro Max

On my new iPhone 17 Pro Max, I’ve noticed that whenever power draw is high during use while charging (i.e. gaming), audible hissing/crackling sounds can be heard from my charging port and the cable. This happens no matter the percentage, cable, or charging brick, all of which I’ve attempted varying to yield the same crackling sound.

Me too from China. Actually, There have been many cases where cracking noises were reported in Chinese Community. I think it is the speaker on the left side of the port which made the noise. It’s a general issue, Apple should respond to this ASAP

Thanks for your reply, but I’d rather not if it’s not a critical issue :)
