Anecdotally it seems that not everyp2 does which if true kind of makes the planned software update no more than a hack (probably just to switch off NFC under certain conditions)

I would really like to buy another P2 though so kind of hoping it is not as widespread as the interweb suggests.

How's yours?

[ImTurningViolet]

Mine doesn't tick.

[Ca_lvn]

No noises here tested under couple conditions

[neil74]

Thanks. Mine had a whine as well as a ticking. There was a delay with the ticking, held it up to my ear and it was just the whine (intermittent) and a few seconds later the ticking.

I do not have a ticking noise either. First thing I checked on when I got the phone.

[ETPhoneHomeT]

Nope!

[Kieta]

No ticking that I've noticed on my P2

[vzwuser76]

Tried both with NFC on and off, clear as a bell, not even any hiss.

I haven't heard ticking in mine.

[1901Madison]

Nothing for me.

Ticking is inaudible on normal operation (listening to the earpiece) while NFC is on. There is audible ticking if I listen through the back glass though (which I wouldn't have checked had it not been for these threads). It's a non-issue for me then since I won't use the phone listening from the back glass. I do not hear the "whirring" noise either way.

No ticking. No whining. Excellent phone and it all has worked flawlessly for me so far. Can't beat it.

nope

No ticking on my Pixel 2.

[DoctorOctagon]

My Pixel 2 is ticking and so far I haven't been able to get the notification light to work

[neil74]

Thanks all, maybe it is worth taking a punt on an other one (if I can find one)

You should be able to get one, Neil. I ordered a white 128G from Google on Wednesday night and it's arriving today. Website claimed it was shipping on the 15th and it shipped almost immediately.
