Right airpod is quiet

Hello awkwardpuppets7,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

Cleaning them is a great step to take for this issue. Since the issue with muffled sound remains, use these steps to help check your connection to isolate the right AirPod issue:

"Your headphones communicate using Bluetooth, and a Bluetooth signal can be interfered with or weakened in some situations.

Your headphones may lose their connection with streaming audio more often than they do with content that is stored on your device.* With your device placed a metre or so away from you, try listening to music or other audio content that's stored on your device – not streamed – with your headphones. On your iOS or Android device, open the Music app. On a Mac device with macOS Catalina, open the Music app. On a Mac device with macOS Mojave or earlier, or on a PC, open iTunes. Then play a song that doesn't have the Download button  next to it. Or tap the Download button  to download the song.

If your headphones maintain their connection without distortion during this test, here are a couple of things that can help in other situations:

• Keep your iPhone or other device close to you, and ensure that there are no obstructions, such as walls or floors, between you and your device.
• If possible, move to a different place – in particular, move away from places where there are many people or a lot of Wi-Fi activity, poorly shielded cables, microwave ovens and wireless speakers (or turn off the oven or speaker)."

We hope this helps to get the right AirPod sounding as expected again.

Cheers!
