AirPods Pro clicking sound.

Andreas, Did you have to go to an apple store or did you do warranty online? My left pod is cracking when I make slight head movements and only does it on ANC or transparency mode. I've also noticed that when i talk to someone with the AirPods in ANC and transparency, I get a feedback snapping sound. Very unpleasant and have to take the headphones out to talk.

same here. Only happens with ANC or Transparency mode when the eartip is on. If it's a software problem though, why is it only happening to one of the earbuds...? Maybe it IS a hardware issue with the outer mic.

I have been having the same issue as of a few days ago. Right ear clicks any time I move my head or whenever I take a step while walking. Very frustrating. I’m also getting a feedback on the same ear when I am talking on the phone. Everything else is normal. Have tried resetting, repairing, wifi and data, performance is unchanged. Please help!

Hi Ethan. Not sure if you are in the US but I had the exact same issue. Only solution was a replacement AirPod, which I was fortunate to receive in less than 24 hours from Apple. I suggest that you call support (1-800-MyApple). Good luck.

Same issue is happening for me. When ever I move my head, touch my ear, or touch my right AirPod, a clicking noise begins. It started a few days ago. I’m convinced this is a firmware flaw due to the fact that others are having the same problem around the same time. If anyone else has greater reasoning as to why this is occurring please let me know

Same issue here from one day to the next: clicking sound on Right AirPod only, with ANC active. Seems like any sort of vibration is exciting it, included when speaking during a phone call (induced by my own voice).

Very prompt Apple Italy assistance, tomorrow the AirPod replacement is estimated at my home.

This problem has started for me too, only in the right earbud and only started noticing it yesterday 4/8. Issue is present in both ANC and transparency mode. The clicking is sensitive enough that when I just talk normally on a call it causes the clicking in the right earbud.

Hardware issue. You will absolutely require a replacement. 1-800-My-Apple

Took 24 hours to have one shipped to me in the US since stores are closed. You will have to provide a credit card to ensure that you return the defective AirPod. By the way, we need Apple to address this publicly or let us know that the issue was fixed - I'm seeing it so much that I am afraid I will need to pay $100 for the replacement when the warranty expires.

Im having the same exact issue with version 2B588. This just started occurring in the right ear with in the last week (today is April 10th) and it only occurs in transparency or noise cancellation modes. If you turn noise control off you do not hear the clicking. The clicking can be heard when touching the right ear phone about two clicks a second.

i have had the same problem, i only add to this that i have already sent mine in for repair twice already. Once through Apple by mailing them in and a second time through my local 3rd party apple store since i do not live near an official Apple store. both repairs have happened about 3 months apart and mine have started having the same problem for a 3 time and all replacements are still running the same firmware. I am really hoping Apple will soon address this as they are far to expensive to perform this way.

Update to my comment above. I went through apples online support and they are going to send me a replacement right ear pod. I’m a little skeptical that I won’t see this issue again. Starting to think this maybe a latent hardware failure.

I got my left Airpod Pro replaced back in January and I am now having the same exact issue again. Now I have to get it replaced the second time, but this time I am having the issue in both my Airpods Pro.

They put a hold on your account that looks like a charge to replace one was around a $100 hold on my account and now that they are replacing both there is a $200 hold placed. Hopefully third time is a charm

This is my second update. I received my right replacement from Apple and the day I got my replacement the left one starting making the same noise only while the transparency mode or noise canceling is on. If I turn that off I don’t hear it. I have a feeling this set will fail also, but rest assured every time it happens I will call for a replacement until my warranty expires. If it’s not fixed by then I maybe looking for a different brand. I think that is a fair for Apple to get this fixed.

Just purchased the AirPod 2 (w/charging case) and same issue too. Disconnecting and reconnect Bluetooth only works for a short while. I use mine with an iPhone 11 and an older MacBook Pro (2014). Makes clicking sound only with the phone.
