How can I stop my AirPods from making loud noises?

I have the AirPod pros, and whenever I put them or make a slight movement to my ear there’s this really loud AirPod noise and it immediately pauses the music. It happens all the time and is super annoying, I’ve read solutions to the loud noise distraction but I looked for the ‘tone volume’ lowering audio thing in settings but its not even there. Pls help

Make sure nothing (a speck of dirt or wax) is blocking the microphone and speaker

You may be able to fine-tune the settings on your phone:

Apple support's online article: Adjust audio settings on iPhone - Apple Support

Eg: says you can:

Reduce loud headphone sounds


  1. Go to Settings  > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety.
  2. Turn on Reduce Loud Audio, then drag the slider to specify the maximum volume."

Note: If you set up Screen Time for a family member, you can prevent them from changing the Reduce Loud Sounds level. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Reduce Loud Sounds, turn on Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap Reduce Loud Sounds, then select Don’t Allow.

See: Adjust the sound in Music on iPhone - Apple Support

Eg: says:

Use EQ and normalize volume levels

  • Choose an equalization (EQ) setting: Go to Settings  > Apps > Music > EQ.
  • Normalize the volume level of your audio: Go to Settings > Apps > Music, then turn on Sound Check.

More trouble-shooting if needed:


You might want to check the volume level on the AirPods themselves:

Pause, skip, and adjust volume with your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support


See how to: Customize headphone audio levels on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


See what to do: If your AirPods Pro (1st generation) make crackling or static sounds - Apple Support


You might want to experiment with the different noise-control modes:

Change the settings of your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support
