Is anyone getting a loud noise notification but you’re NOT in a loud environment?
Ever since yesterday afternoon the watch keeps notifying me. I muted it for today but I don’t know how to “fix” it so to speak. As I type this I’m sitting in a quiet room and all I hear is birds chirping, it notified me.
Any suggestions before I hit up the Apple Store?
Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9
High recorded noise levels could be either a faulty microphone, or hallucination in the software. I suggest you test the watch's microphone by making a test call to someone who will report back whether there is noise when you are not speaking. If the call is clear you are probably dealing with a software glitch.
Remember that a low level sound very close to the mic may be detected as a loud noise. For example, if you tap with your fingernail or a pen top on the watch casing it will hardly reach your ear but the watch interprets it as much louder from greater distance. I would try to expand the timescale for the sound level bars if possible and look whether it is constant false noise, or simply a few short transient sounds which are distorting the picture.
I mean I doubt we all got a hardware issue the same time. It has to be in the watch os code.
My Apple watch notified me that I’d reached 100 dB and it was between 5:00-5:15 AM. I checked my Apple Watch Pillow app and I was actually in REM sleep. My phone was on the table next to me.
My series 9 is having the same issue… gonna try the canned air and see if it works.
I have a series 9 and mine did it for the first time last night. 1:12am a notification for 100 decibels. I was asleep, my phone not far away. So weird.
