Ear piercing screeching noise with Air Pods

Hi!


I've had my airpods for about 9 months now and they have been working great, but the last 3 days I have been on a call and there is a loud ear piercing screeching noise in both ears that happens mid-call.


Its so loud and high pitched that I've had to rip my Airpods out of my ears and I think it is causing some hearing damage.


I've tried deconnecting and reconnecting my Airpods and it still is making this awful noise.


Is there a fix for this?

Hello,


It could be wireless interference:


If the sound from your wireless headphones cuts out or is distorted


Also, try this: Reset your AirPods


Otherwise, see this: AirPods Service and Repair


Good luck.
