AirPods Pro Rattling Noise

Completely understand your problem. They have told me to wait as well which is frustrating as with each passing day the problem keeps getting more and more persistent. Even on off mode it’s rattling at 70% volume which unreal. What the point of paying so much for headphones when you can’t listen to your preferred music at your preferred volume. I didn’t get the previous generation AirPods and saved up for a while to get these before which I used BeatsX. It’s heartbreaking to see this as a manufacturing defect to which they have no response apart from replacing it the faulty product with another faulty product.

based on their attitude it could a good 6 months due to the pandemic after which we are going to have our warrant void and will be paying for their defected product.

One of the theories I have for this is because of their firmware update in which they boosted the bass some part of the speaker has popped. Maybe because of high bass quality on YouTube. I listen to trap and bass heavy edm like trance and it’s genuinely not my fault that their products can not withstand trending music.

it almost seems like I’m wrong to even be listening to the music I like and should instead use these to listen to stuff that suits their poor build.

Almost like building an airplane which looks the most premium with all facilities of t.v and inflight entertainment but not having a workable engine and having it fall to the ground within 2 months.

Recieved this mail for Apple Music while writing this that just fumed me up to a whole new level.

lmao.

I listen to mostly podcasts and only music at low volume. The next pair I get I’m going to try not using any Qi chargers. I use a couple different wireless charges, one of which is a fast charger. I’m also going to only charge with my Apple 1 amp charger to see if that makes any difference. I feel like I’m beta testing this product for Apple.

Yep pretty absurd, my replacement left is messing up again, turning noise canceling off. I'm going to wait until a month from my warranty date, hoping they have the issue fixed by then. Sad that my $250 headphones are going to be only used on rare occasions.

That’s a different kind of issue, it’s not a static noise. It’s a rattling sound. Triggered when you move you head, walk or talk. Like something is physically hitting the inside of the earbud. Anywho, thanks for your Advice, this might help others with static noise issues.

I was so excited to purchase my Airpod Pro's today!!! I've not read anything online about them and seriously just wanted them because the 'regular' shape hurts my ears. Anyway, I noticed the rattling straight away as I put them in fresh out of the case and went on a maiden voyage (a walk). Then I google it and A LOT comes up under this exact topic.

Considering the number of people who have posted that they’re facing the same experience (across many different Forums) there is definitely an endemic design issue with the AirPod Pro.

The issue is that Apple are absolutely silent on the issue and our voices are simply too fragmented to expect something to change. What’s really needed is some statistics on the returns rate for this defect symptom. Then we’d be able to see the naked truth in context. The only problem is that there will be a significant number of customers out there who don’t act on it and choose to just “live with” a defective product.

Has anybody made a YouTube video on this? I suspect that may gather more momentum and force some action (or at least a response) by Apple.

I have rattling noise with right airpod. The sound is pronounced when I talk or hum. When listening to music it is good. I have seen many have the same problem.

Context

The airpod was purchased from UNI store in Pune India. in November.

Recently I've noticed something odd with my 1st replacement pair of AirPods Pro.

When I first insert the right one in my ear after taking it out of the case and press to seal it in my ear canal, it emits a relatively loud "scratching/static" noise occasionally.

I haven't been able to correlate the mode the AirPod is in initially (NC, transparent, none) when this happens, but it doesn't happen every time.

Also, it is DEFINITELY not air pressure in my ear canal, the AirPod actively emits this noise from the speaker.

I unfortunately have had the same issue recently. With high volume, the rattling persist with any heavy bass. It’s getting to a point where I can’t use them anymore. Paying $250 for a defective product and no apple rep has given me a solution or offered a replacement. This is frustrating.

This same exact thing happened to me. I first had to get my left one replaced. And then my right one got replaced because it started having the same problems. And just recently my left one started doing the same thing. So I am very upset. You spend 250 dollars on a product that can’t even last a year. It will be a year in November and still having problems. Not happy. Especially when my year warranty is up. What happens after that? Should of just thrown 250 dollars in the trash.

It all strted since I bought it, reset several times n came to knw tht there r many like me... the nearest apple service station is 60kms from my location n we are all locked up by covid-19... I dont have any other bluetooth pair... was to buy homepod but m afraid of deceased pieces of such high amount paid.. I hardly tried phone help.. so donno about it

I don't know who you are. We have worked with Apple Support, jumped through all the hoops, and demonstrated numerous times there is a physical defect in the device. It is NOT static or crackling. Read the Apple case notes. Either fix this or refund us for the product.

I think volume is partially to blame; maybe the pros can’t handle much? I know when I switch from my regular AirPods to the pros, I have to turn the volume up to hear them, because the level is so much lower. Maybe part of Apple’s solution is to cut down the volume limit on the pros?
