This link is the exact issue I still have even after 8.1

I just got the 8.1 update and it didn't fix the call quality issue. There is no longer hissing through the speaker, but there is annoying static and popping as many others have said. Also, if I place my ear up to the rear camera even when the phone is off, I still hear coil whine or a hissing noise (see video above). This completely goes away when I turn on the flashlight and gets a little better when I open the camera, but otherwise it is always there even when the screen is off. How many have this issue still? Put the rear camera to your ear when the phone is on or off, then turn the flashlight on and see it disappear.
Who else is having this issue? I'm on the regular Pixel 2.
