AirPods Pro High Pitched Noise

You'll have to open a support ticket and have them replace the buds. I had them replace both. the ones they sent work fine so far. This will likely not be resolved by the user. Apple will need to replace them.

You can do this all online via their repair request page.

I forgot the device on my phone then reconnected and the noise went away

My Apple pro air Bud on the left side is making a loud pitch noise how can I fix it

I contacted apple support and this is what I got

Same here; touch the right ear pod to deactivate noise reduction and then I hear a squeak in the left ear when I put it back in the case (not on every time, but sometimes). When I put the EarPods back in the case, re-open and re-wear them it gets better, but then it happens again a little later... I had my first pair swap for a new set two days ago but today i detected it for the new pair as well :(

It is happening to me too. Just my left AirPod pro. I just purchased them 3 days ago. It happens when I push the AirPod into my ear. Very high pitched sound. Huge bummer that now I have to spend my time to take a brand new item into the apple store to figure this out. Anyone heard if this is a software or hardware issue?

Totally disappointed with Airpods pro. I get screeching noise in my leftside airpods pro. When contacted apple support they are charging me 135 SGD for replacement as i dont have apple care. This is ridiculous and I wont recommend airpods pro to anyone.

This has happened since I got them, (by which I mean a screeching noise when pushing them in). I always assumed it was because I was pushing on the black bit, which is the grille for the noise cancelling mic, and the system that tries to equalise the pressure between the inside and outside of your ear, which I am blocking with my finger, therefore the system freaks out. I may be wrong though.

Not weirdness after I have pushed them in.

So this is probably why Apple engineers are saying it is normal behaviour. I suspect that is not SCREECHGATE!

If you are getting weird noises during playback just return them or go see a Genius bar.

Happens in my left ear. The high pitch noise or squeal is heard when either u run ur fingers while pushing it in or just simply by accidentally rubbing it. This only happens when noice cancellation and transparency is on.

Yeap, same thing is happening to me but with the right hand one.

£250?

Will be going to the Genius bar soon. Distortion during phone calls is so annoying.

I called apple and they made me reset them by folliwing these instructions.

There is a few more steps included with the reset of the AirPods…You can reset the AirPods by: 1.Put your AirPods in their case

Close the lid. Wait 30 seconds, then open the lid

2.Go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the "i" icon next to your AirPods. Then tap Forget This Device, and tap again to confirm.

3.With the lid open, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until you see the status light flashing amber.

4. With the lid open, place your AirPods close to your device. Follow the steps on your device's screen.

These these did nothing for me I am afraid. So the lady said it might be a TIPS issue and sent me two sets. Seriously Though, they are virtually brand new.

So, off to Leicester Highcross for me. EVERY SINGLE Apple product I have bought in the past 5 years has failed! (apart from a second hand thunderbolt display).

The list so far is

2018 Macbook pro

Iphone X

Beats X headphones

Iphone 7

Same thing happened to me. Actually called into Apple Support as my left Airpod Pro was making clicking noise on noise cancelling and pass-thru mode. They guided me through resetting and re-pairing them. After re-pairing my Airpods, I inserted them into my ears and was greated with an extremely loud, high-pitched static noise that left both of my ears ringing for a few minutes. I didn't think too much of it at the time, but it has now been a week (Called support on April 8th, 2020) and my left ear is STILL RINGING. I went to the ENT today and they told me my hearing hadn't been damaged, but that the ringing as a result of this loud noise may or may not ever go away. Incredibly depressed and scared to put anything in my ears again. Loved these Airpods as with noise cancelling on I could listen to speech and music at a safe, low volume, but if there's a risk of this happening again it's just not worth it for me. This ringing is debilitating... makes it hard to focus or fall asleep, and according to the Dr. there's no cure for Tinnitus. Just have to hope it goes away.

This isn’t normal behavior. It doesn’t happen to everyone and it happens when the pod moves around in the ear. It can be from readjustment or vibration from eating, talking, or walking on hard surfaces.

I am experiencing this issue in my left AirPod pro. I notice it’s worse if you have a lot of ear hair 🤢

I think one of the mics is amplifying this movement and playing it back.

i would advise everyone to submit feedback via their Feedback Assistant. Apple monitors that system and can provide timely feedback or request additional details about your specific problem.

I’ll do the same and update here as I learn more.

Hello guys, i had same problem, for me it happends when i was cleaning the silicone caps, and i put one of them incorrectly in place, please try to remove them and place them agian correctly. I hope this little trick helps ^^

I found removing the caps and cleaning the entire bud with alcohol to remove any body oil reduced but did not eliminate the issue.

The buds "click" in to place. I'm sure if they aren't seated correctly it could amplify the issue. I suspect the mic is picking up the cap moving in the ear canal.

I recently was forced to wipe and perform a clean install on my iPhone 11. For a few days it seemed like the audio connection was improved, the speaking from the left bud appeared to go away.

Unfortunately it returned. Similar ear movement, chewing, talking, coughing, walking on hard surfaces can cause enough vibration in the ear canal to reproduce it.

I forgot to create by feedback ticket, I'll do that next.
