I use them for sleep (in fact I can’t sleep without ANC). But the noise is incredibly loud and wakes me up. I don’t understand why this feature is necessary, or cannot be simply turned off…


The accessibility setting used to lower the noise, but it no longer works. It should allow you to set it to 0% anyway, not 10% or whatever it was before.


Please fix this Apple! It’s such an unnecessary problem and easy fix.

I’ve found the solution to this!


  1. Put your AirPods in your ears and connect to your iPhone/iPad.
  2. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Airpods
  3. Scroll down to Tone Volume
  4. Lower slider on Tone Volume


You can’t turn it fully off, but my neurodivergent brain manages on the lowest 15% quite happily!

Am I the only one who doesn’t have the tone volume option. Like it’s just not there and my AirPods make the noise when it gets to 30% surely that’s not normal. Like that’s not even a low percentage why are u telling me to charge it now that could probably last me quite a long time but instead I have to deal with the BEEP BEEP every two seconds. Like I can’t go one song without hearing it it’s actually stressing me out can someone please tell me what to do

I need to know this too. It seems to be a common complaint for the last couple of years. It is extremely loud and scares the **** out of me every time. What’s worse, I’m on the spectrum and use these to help when I’m overwhelmed and overstimulated. But then if the battery is low it’s just adding another extremely uncomfortable sound and makes me feel more stressed out.

APPLE MAKE IT STOP PLS

This is ridiculous because even when I put the tone volume at 15% my airpods still make the stupidly loud doo-doo doo doo noise that makes me want to kms when they reach 10% battery. WHYYY. Pls ffs Apple just fix this and stop hurting my ears every time my air pods are low 😭😭

Yes, this needs to change. The 'low battery' notification is at maximum volume and is not only jarring but can damage your hearing. I have seen one answer to this question, which I tried, but did not work (go to settings>accessibility>airpods; I tried this, there is no 'airpods' menu option in accessibility.


This is the main reason I am refusing to buy a new set of airpods. There is no reason to have that notification be so loud every time when emergency alerts are at a lower volume, and it completely defeats the purpose of wearing airpods to sleep or relax.

It's pretty disturbing that this was left this way for so long. I'm constantly desperate and living on the edge, afraid for when my airpods go to low battery.... It's really hurtful and triggers so many emotions, especially irrational anger and expletive-filled internet queries in search for a solution.

Hello,


I believe the person before and myself are trying to turn off the audible sound coming from the AirPods. It seems to come every time the charge level of the individual AirPod drops by 1% after hitting the 20% remaining threshold. How do we turn off that sound in our ears? Not the charging case sound

OMG painfully loud! It hurts! Unbelievably loud, never has any music/sound from my Airpods Pro 2 Gen been too loud except for the painful ear/brain piercing low battery alert alarm. This is truly shocking that it exists as such because it could cause physical harm/ damage. Please tell me there is a way to change it, cancel it, something??
