Every device in my experience. I had an 8 and an 8 plus, different build weeks and factories and both impacted.
And before everyone jumps on me, I know, two devices isn’t ‘every device’!

Mine is just fine. I’m not going to update to this iOS update for fear that it might break it.
it's fine now on 11.0.2
So we can now finally breath because it was just an soft issue and not hardware

No more crackling static noise on my iPhone 8 Plus 
. But still anxious about the inflating battery phenomenon that has been reported. Thanks God Yet my iPhone does feel smooth on the edges but I read someone on a different topic that has reported such as a space between the screen and the body of his iPhone around the sim card area and it’s very scary

Might be good to update the OP and the thread title that this should be fixed as of iOS 11.0.2
I updated to 11.0.2 and the noise is almost gone. I don’t know if I have a hardware problem too, but the noise is still there during calls. It isn’t nearly as often, but it’s a high pitch crackle/pop that is almost uncomfortable after a while, and I am on the phone a lot. I have AppleCare Plus, so I’m not too concerned, plus I’m impressed with the progress they made with this update.
This isn't good. Was hoping to re-buy the 8+ since the battery life on my 7 is so much worse. I guess I will have to keep waiting.
Leaving iOS PB 11.1 to go back to 11.0.2 to test for in-call crackle and crackle/speaker pop in apps.
[doublepost=1507086481][/doublepost]..like I said to the Apple Tech.. this is a lot of work to get a $1,000 phone to work.
[doublepost=1507088990][/doublepost]Only made one call and in-call crackle wasn't there. My speaker pop is still there in apps in 11.0.2... should have stayed on 11.1.
