my right airpod plays sound very quietly

Hey there Joshua_2017,

It looks like you came from a good troubleshooting resource for AirPods with sound issues. Did you already work through the steps there? The section that says, "If there's low volume in one AirPod" may be helpful. Try cleaning the AirPods. This can make a difference with sound issues if there is debris that needs to be removed.

For connection issues, let's follow these steps: If your AirPods won't connect - Apple Support

1. "Make sure that your iPhone or iPod touch has the latest version of iOS or that your iPad has the latest version of iPadOS.
2. Put both AirPods in the charging case and make sure that both AirPods are charging.
3. To make sure that Bluetooth is on, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
4. If your AirPods are connected, make sure that they're selected as your audio device. If your AirPods appear in the list of devices but they don't connect, go to the next step.
5. Close the lid, wait 15 seconds, then open the lid. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the charging case for up to 10 seconds. The status light on the front of the charging case should flash white, which means that your AirPods are ready to connect.
6. Hold the charging case, with your AirPods inside and the lid open, next to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
7. Follow the steps on the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
8. Test your AirPods. If you still can't connect, reset your AirPods."
