Noise Cancellation for the Caller

When I am on a call with Airpod Pros, the call can hear everything! and I mean everything I am doing. Is there noise cancellation for this? Is there a way to tune out surrounding noise so the person I am speaking with can only hear me and not the dishes I am loading in the dishwasher?

Thank you for responding. I am actually looking for help blocking my surrounding noise to my caller. The person I am speaking with while I am using my Airpods can hear everything I am doing. All of my noise. Is there way to block it so the caller can only hear my voice and not my roomba going and dishes being loaded and horns beeping?


Not sure there is a way, but it sure would be helpful when I am on phone. My callers complain all the time that it is very loud when I am talking to them. I often have to use my corded earphones as they block the noise.


Thanks in advance.

Hello kbmsunshine,


From your post it appears you are looking for ways to cancel background noise while using your AirPods Pro.


The article you came from, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode, explains the different settings available.


Active Noise Cancellation should do what you are looking for.


If you are having an issue getting it to work, take a look at the information outlined here: If Active Noise Cancellation isn't working as expected on your AirPods Pro - Apple Support


Have a good day.

Hello kbmsunshine,


Active Noise Cancellation should do exactly what you are asking.


Follow the steps in this article to turn Noise Cancellation on: AirPods Pro and AirPods Max Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode


If it does not block the external noises, then look over the information found in this article: If Active Noise Cancellation isn't working as expected on your AirPods Pro - Apple Support


Cheers.
