Clicking noise with AirPods

I have the wireless earbuds, and recently I am hear a clicking noise every time I tilt my head downward. Imagine taking a walk and looking at your feet. click click click.... both ears.

This just started happening. I used an air can to blow out all 4 openings, but that didn't clear it.

Any suggestions?

Clicking in one ear bud I just got brand new AirPods Pro. The left ear has a subtle clicking sound. I have reset everything twice and still hear it. I only hear it when noise cancellation is activated. When in transparency mode that ear has some ambient sound. It is frustrating. What should I do?

Airpods Max clicking sound during movement (right side only) Hi, so I have a very troublesome issue with my AirPods Max. Quite often when I walk (exactly when putting my right foot down), or when I just sit still and move my head sideways I get this clicking sound in the right can of the AirPods Max... It goes click-click-click-click extremely quickly (3-5 times a second) and sounds like a sped up version of somebody clicking a pen fiercely.... I imagine there is some physical microswitch inside that is stuck in some ultra-sensitive position, but that's just speculation from my side. I would have sent them in for warranty repair but the problem is that the issue is somewhat intermittent, and from time to time I can go a few days without hearing it and then suddenly its back at full force... I've tried resetting the headphones multiple times (holding down both buttons until it re-pairs) without it seemingly effecting anything... I've also tested with different playback devices to verify that the issue isn't related to a specific paired device. Anyone seen this before? Is it a known issue?

AirPods Pro - one keeps clicking Hi, I have some new AirPods Pros. The right ear "clicks" every couple of seconds to the point where I only ever use one AirPods. I have found it very frustrating. I have fully charged them, disconnected and reconnected to my devices but it is always the right ear that doesn't work. Any help?
