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?

I also have this issue with my right AirPods Pro. It was really subtle when I first got it and thought it was normal, but it got worse over time to the point where moving my jaw would make it rattle. Everyone should still have their year warranty so definitely contact Apple for a replacement ASAP. I contacted them via chat the other day and my new replacement is coming in today. Fingers crossed!

Listen, you are not describing the same problem. Regardless of where it starts, it will get worse. It is not limited to any apps; it does it with outside noises, speech, coughing, everything audible. There is no remedy. So far, I’ve gotten 4 months out of my latest pair, easily a record. I’m careful to not turn them up very loudly, as I have an idea the transducers may be rupturing. I think Apple knows this, because their level is considerably lower than my AirPods 2 when I change them.


We’ll see.

Clearly there is a design problem and Apple folks if they are reading this should do a global recall if they have fixed the problem .

it is rattling to our nerves to live with the constant tension that the AirPods may fail and rattle and I may have to work without them for a few weeks till Apple decides whether to give a replacement or not.

Hoping for a permanent resolution from Apple
