AirPods Pro High Pitched Noise

I finally took mine in to get fixed. The right one started vibrating and making a bad crunchy sound instead of squealing and the left one started squealing. I had to take them to the MicroCenter near me because all Apple Stores were closed. They told me it would take 2-4 weeks because of COVID. I got them back not even a week later. They were really bad sounding and I’m surprised they fixed them. Now they’re like brand new. They never said what the issue was though.

Had the exact same issue. Happens when I’m running/sweating. The screeching noise is really loud and definitely can hurt your ears. Given the huge response about this I wouldn’t be surprise if there’s a recall.

This happens to both of my buds. I have to be very careful when pushing them back into my ears because they’ll do this and it hurts. I wish I didn’t have to keep pushing them back in because they won’t stay in place.

That’s sounds like a good reason. The AirPods ended up being replaced and I’ve since bought third party add ons that keep them in place. No adjusting, no squeal. Thank you for taking the time to answer!

It happened after a workout - right ear only. It had to be because of sweat. Same high pitched whistle. I went home pulled apart the Air Pods so they could dry out - for about 20 minutes - and that did the trick. This was the first time this has happened. Have owned them for about six months.

This happened to me when they got wet. In fact I put them thru the washing machine. So fairly severe. When they dried out it fixed itself up. I needed to use a hair dryer for a while but it worked.

Its not and issue...... It’s not damming them when you push to hard on the tips all the special speakers and mics witch allow noise canceling transparency and spatial audio are being forced on witch causes them to sqeal and it’s not good to use force on them because You could break one of the speakers or mics and ruin one of those features or all. Be careful with you AirPods they may be expensive and very good quality but thier still breakable

I have the same thing happening to my pair. They will also screech out loud when holding one in each hand close together. I’m assuming it’s feedback from the microphones and magnetic parts in the speakers.

Same thing here. It fortunately stopped for a week or so but the problem just returned. I’ve traced it back to happening after I cotton swapped the AirPods with rubbing alcohol. Did you ever do that beforehand?

SAME! My AirPods only do it when announcing a message and it will be right in the beginning. It sounds like a scream from a horror film really freaks me out and hurts my eyes. Started to think my AirPods were just haunted.

Samesies.

It was predominately the right ear but the left would occasionally do it as well. The right AirPod Pro would be so loud I would have to take it out, only to put it back in shortly after and have to do it again. A buzzing, haptic like vibration would also occur as well.

I went to an Apple store as they’re still under warranty and I also sprung for Apple Care but they’re all closed in my area due to Covid. So I called and Apple set up an appointment for me to drop them off at Best Buy. Best Buy ran a diagnostic and confirmed there were multiple issue present with both sound quality and charging degradation. Hopefully they get replaced and the replacement doesn’t crap out in under a year.

Seems like this is a pretty common occurrence. I expect better from Apple 😢

I just recently purchased the Apple AirPods (not the pros) and I today heard the loud blip of noise. My ear is legit ringing more than normal and it hurts like nothin’ I’ve felt before! It’s probably a issue on Apple’s end

Hello guys, this is not an issue what you are all facing. There is mic where you put your finger on while you push through(turnoff the transparency and noise can. you wont hear squeak or buzzy sounds) also an air canal for balancing the pressure in an out. This is very normal behavior of airpods pro and it is not an engineering mistake. This is the beauty of engineering and the implementation of this two additional adaptation. Turn off both and you wont hear any of these sounds as your other pair of headsets without trans. And noise can.

Has Apple addressed this issue? I am experiencing the same problem with my right AirPods Pros. A very loud high pitched noise that is loud enough to bleed through phone calls. It only happens when I reach up to adjust the buds. At first, I thought its because I was touching the external microphones, but that is not the case. I hear the sound whenever I simply push the buds into my ear. It doesn't happen on the left bud. Just the right. And Apple will not replace it either. I sent them in four times but they said the buds are fine, sent them back the next day. Someone, please help. I cannot use my headphones in ANC or Transparency Mode because of the noise.

If this is normal, why does it only happen with the right earbud in my case? Why not the left? I tried to squeeze, push and cover the left earbud but they don't have this issue. Also, why didn't my original AirPods have this issue? They worked perfectly fine with not whistling noise, and I'd always adjust them when jugging or working out. How is this normal? Please help me understand?
