My Airpods Case makes bubbling noise even when not in use

The case is randomly making noise, similar to a bubbling sound, sometimes when in my pocket and not in use. Anyone know what this is? TIA

I got the same problem. Mine was flashing green and making that sound. I’m on iOS 17. Checked everywhere online but couldn’t get an answer.

Hey there sandra7h,


That is a strange issue to occur with your AirPods charging case, and we'd like to learn more about what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:


  1. When did this start?
  2. Has your AirPods been dropped recently, or even come into contact with liquid?
  3. Does the same issue occur after a reset of your AirPods? If you haven't yet tried one, this link lists the steps to try one now: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro
  4. We see you're pairing it with an iPhone, but if you have a compatible model, the latest version is iOS 16.4. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then Update your iPhone or iPad.


Cheers!

First, thanks for your suggestions. Second, my apologies for taking so long to reply. The noise had been happening for a week or two before I asked the question and seemed to be happening every 6 hours (4am, 10am, 4pm, not sure about 10pm as I am asleep by then). I did update my iPhone and the noise has stopped.


Thanks again!

same out here, i actually don't have an iPhone, i have a mac and I'm experiencing the same exact issue. when i lift the case or even just leaving it alone it always happens by its own , i even remember that day when we were all sitting together at home in my parents house and me and my dad literally went silent we thought it was somebody's phone ringing but turned out its my AirPods case, just started ringing by its own
