AirPod Pro Low Battery Sound Too LOUD

Same thing. Working late, have my Airpods in and can't even notice, my system volume is not high but suddenly out of the blue I hear an INCREDIBLY LOUD sound in my ears.

I'm watching YouTube videos, in between videos where there is no sound output I get a SCREECHINGLY LOUD sound in my ears. Why? Is it some sort of torture protocol I have to endure for using Apple products? Why not just fix it so I don't have to comment in this thread virtually everyday. And my system volume was not even loud compared to the INSANELY LOUD screeching noise in my ears.

The sound is way too loud, painful and unnecessary. I think AirPods should be recalled as this is a design flaw that’s harmful to users. I’d like to receive a pair that won’t damage my hearing with its incessant battery alert sounds.

I just created an account for this as well(see username). @Keisha_Keisha If you're an apple employee, could you please raise an internal ticket for this issue? I've submitted multiple feedback requests over the past year, and this is simply unacceptable for a lot of users - as evident by constant posts on /r/airpods on reddit.

Hi Apple Support,

Just want to add to the thread by saying that the volume alert legitimately hurts your ears and is a pretty major concern. Most people I know who own these would say the same.

Your obviously aware of the issue but this needs to be escalated asap.

👍

It is absurd that a large company like Apple will not fix this alert volume problem. I'm surprised there is not a lawsuit over it yet. Wake up Apple, you're a pretty smart company, you can fix this. But will you?

Got these things to help block out noisy neighbors while I sleep. Worked great... until they snapped me awake with the low battery tone. Looks like this issue has largely been ignored, so returning them. Unfortunate.

Absolutely ridiculous. This is poor customer support at it’s worst. At least make up some excuse how you’re going to look into this internally. Rather than just giving us a giant middle finger in the patronizing form of telling us how it works. Which we are already clearly familiar with. This is the worst “feature” about the air pods and has not been a benefit once. Often it doesn’t even work correctly and doesn’t give the 3 warnings, I would say 90% of the time mine give one terrifying warning and then immediately die. Meaning wtvr I was listening to has to be rolled back several seconds, or I have to ask people to repeat themselves. This needs to be addressed. As far as this goes now I am a never buying air pods again, and I will never encourage any Apple customers to buy them. Between this and the crippling audio glitch on the iPhone 12 Apple has really been dropping the ball lately.

Can’t believe this hasn’t been addressed at all.

I’m pretty sure this is an EXTREMELY EASY firmware update and you’re just lazy to implement or don’t care at all (what a surprise).

As far as I’m concerned, I’m not buying AirPods again and yes, solely because of this annoying issue.

The low battery notification is incredibly loud. At reasonable listening levels the notification will give you a jump scare. The Health app provides listening level information….but the loudest noise to come through the headphones is by far the low battery tone. Please if possible incorporate a disable or volume control for this feature. We don’t want people going for a run and jumping into traffic when we are scared half to death because our battery is low.

If anyone has any influence in forums like Reddit they should share this link to raise the "I have this problem too" numbers or shed more light to this, this has been a very common problem since the airpods came out in 2016 and its crazy they still haven't fixed it after hundreds of complains, I made a username here just for this problem alone.

Hello apple, I also need this feature mutable or at least hard set to a lower volume. I'm a musician that always takes extra care to protect my ears from loud noises and have the airpods threshold set to 85dB in the bluetooth settings. I can't believe these made it through whatever user feedback testing you guys do with the low volume notification at this volume. I've been startled by it one too many times and got ****** today. I made an account just to leave this feedback. Please fix it

APPLE WHAT THE H3LL IS WRONG WITH YOU. GIVE PEOPLE THE OPTION TO TURN THIS OFF AT OR AT THE MINIMUM TURN IT DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. I DO WORK ON MY COMPUTER WITH THESE IN, AND OFTEN TIMES I DON'T HAVE ANY AUDIO COMING THROUGH THEM, SO RANDOMLY I HAVE THIS HORRIFIC SOUND SCREAMING IN MY EAR WHILE I AM DEEPLY CONCENTRATING, DO NONE OF YOUR DEVS USE YOUR OWN PRODUCTS BECAUSE CLEARLY ANYONE WHO USES THIS PRODUCT REALIZES HOW HORRIBLE OF A DESIGN THIS IS INCLUDING THE OVER 400 PEOPLE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO FIND THIS THREAD AND SAY THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

I WILL NOW BE POSTING IN THIS THREAD EVERY TIME THIS NEGATIVELY AFFECTS ME UNTIL APPLE DOES SOMETHING

I WAS WATCHING A YOUTUBE VIDEO AND THEN STOPPED AND WAS DOING LANGUAGE LEARNING WITH THE SYSTEM ON LOW VOLUME AND THE ALERT WAS INCREDIBLY LOUD IN MY EAR.

I was on the computer without my system volume even being loud, with nothing playing, when these screamed in my ears.

A small visual indication would be more than enough I don't need screaming in my ears.
