After introducing saturated mode to diffuse the Pixel 2 owners' anger over the device's OLED screen uneven brightness issue, Google has announced to roll-out software to patch a couple of bugs in its Android flagship phones.
It has to be noted that Google, in its statement during the November security update release, had claimed that the firmware fixed screen issues and also the buggy noise, as well. As it turns out, several Pixel 2 series owners continued to hear the annoying clicking noise even after upgrading to the firmware.

Here's the official statement from Orrin, manager, Pixel User Community:

As far as software support service is concerned, Pixel 2 series is assured to get three years of Android OS update and an additional year of monthly security firmware.
