AirPod Pro 2 Has Low Rumbling Noise

My one-month old AirPod Pro 2s emit a low rumbling sound in the background. Both left and right are affected. It is not at all a crackle issue that others have experience with the first series.

I have tried unpair/re-pair several times. It then has a minor improvement for a few minutes, but then it returns.

Firmware version is 5E135.

The AirPod Pro 1 units I have are dead quiet in noise cancelling mode. These new ones are nowhere as quiet.

Anyone else? Any solutions other than a visit to an Apple Store?

Thank you.

static in right airpod My right airpod makes loud static noise about 3 times between me pressing on the airpod, it stops, then happens again, and stops - takes about 3 times to get it to stop so I can hear. Only the right airpod is having this problem - not the left. Any suggestions? Do I need to replace it or is there any maintenance I can try to fix this?

AirPod Pros Crackling while in Noise cancelling and Transparency mode? In my left AirPod while I had the Noise cancelling or Transparency mode on I hear a crackling noise. They are only a couple weeks old. When I play audio there is static noise I hear also when people are speaking.
