AirPods Pro Rattling Noise

I’ve only had my AirPods Pro for a bit over a month and my right AirPod has a rattling noise which originally was just when I coughed or cleared my throat and now it’s litterally every slight move it rattles. I use them primarily at the gym and it is the most annoying experience. I have disconnected my AirPods and re set them up but it’s still occurring. I don’t have the money for new ones as I’m about to start University is this something that Apple can fix?

Yes, I am experiencing the same issue too, it originally started with my right Airpod, I got that replaced with their DIY service but now recently it has started with my left one too. Songs with heavy bass or when running, it seems to very noticeable, One thing I’ve noticed, I don’t know if it’s the same with everyone else but when the AirPods are on the “OFF” position it’s not noticeable at all which I find very strange.

Me too! I had this problem and since i had the one year warranty apple switched out both airpods and airpods case after finding out the issue was not solved. I’ve has these new ones i think for almost 2-3 months now same problem happened. It feels like something is loose inside the airpod itself. I paid almost $270 for these airpods and for them to be doing this even as new ones.. man I’m actually mad about it. And i dont want to contact apple support because all they would do is replace it and after couple of months same problem all over again..! I am seriously thinking of just moving on to android, if apple products are gonna have an issue for the amount of money we pay we have to go through extra amount of headache on top of that!

Same here, mine started rattling 2 months after having them in my left AirPod pro. It’s been really annoying and I’ve had my AirPods for almost a year now just don’t have the 89$ to replace it and I didn’t want to call and have a fee so I’ve just been dealing with them. It’s been awfully annoying. It dulls when turning off transparency mode or noise cancellation but the rattling is still there. I’ve been just using my right AirPod and rarely both of them which is sad since both of them is better. But not moving was okay now it’s without moving it rattles. I changed the bud sizes and settings but I figured it was a internal problem. Been meaning to take mine in with a appointment but the replacement fee is going to really hurt with all the bills I currently have at the moment.
