Sound plays on my AirPods outside speaker

My two internal AirPod speakers work, that’s not a problem. The problem is that the external speaker on my AirPods plays sound, and is actually the loudest of all the speakers on my AirPods. This means everyone around me can hear crystal clear what I’m listening to, defeating their purpose and robbing me of my privacy. How do I turn off the third speaker?
