I bought my pair of AirPods Pro on March this year (2021). Recently I started hearing a weird rattling noise from my right AirPod, especially when I shake my head while wearing them. It sounds like something is loose inside the earbud. I haven’t dropped them in a long time. What should I do? Am I eligible for a replacement AirPod ?

Hi GZILLA123,
We understand you're hearing a rattling sound when using your AirPods. Take a look at the steps in this article to correct the issue.
If your AirPods Pro make crackling or static sounds
Have a good day.
Yes. I had noticed the same problem with my AirPods 2nd generation as well, but I have never dropped them or impacted them in any way and I do not shake my head all around while I am wearing them. But long story short I have come to find out through experience that the level of volume and volume filters ie. music equalizer settings and accessibility settings and of course the phones sound settings have all to do with the strange noises that can be heard in the different models of AirPods. Though it does sound like you have gotten your AirPods wet on the inside because anyone with knowledge of sound equipment knows that for the exception of loose parts that rattling noise generally means moisture on the exposed contacts.
Oh, and FYI. You don't get replacement unless you have the Apple Care coverage on the AirPods themselves..
