Beats Studio 3 ANC crackling/ feedback sound

I’ve had these for over a year. When I turn on ANC, there’s a loud waterfall like sound and intermittent cracking which does not stop. The headphones are up to date and I have reset them twice. They are connected to an updated iPhone and the issue is only getting worse. There has been no physical damage or water damage and it is in perfect condition. Anyone got the same problem?

Hello Abbas01,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It looks like your Beats produces noises when turning on ANC. We can understand what you’re going through, and we want to help you as much as we can.


Does the issue continues when paired to another sound source? like a computer, or another phone?

Hi Abbas01,


Thanks for getting back to us with those additional details. We understand that when you turn on ANC, you hear cracking, and waterfall like noises.

Let look into this more.


Do you have any bluetooth devices connected to your iPhone what that happens? We want to make sure this is not caused by wireless interference.
