Google starts investigating clicking/ticking sound issue with Pixel 2 [Updated]

Update: Google seems to have fixed the problem internally. The company is currently preparing a software update that includes the fix. The update will be rolled out in the coming weeks.

Original story follows:

Recently, it came to light that some users of Google's new Pixel 2 smartphones are complaining that their units are making 'clicking and high pitch frequency sounds.' Well, the company has now provided an update on the issue.

According to a Google employee, who is Community Manager at the official Pixel forum, the company has started investigating the problem.

Orrin also noted that the problem - which he says affects only a small number of Pixel 2 users - doesn't affect the performance of the device in any way. As a temporary solution, he suggested turning off NFC.

Sadly, there's currently no information on when the issue will be fixed and rolled out to the affected units.
