Airpopod pro 3 transparency mode amplifies high frequency noise

You do not necessarily need to return your AirPods Pro 3 right away, as this issue can often be resolved by tweaking hidden software settings or cleaning the microphones. When Transparency mode amplifies high-frequency noises (like the rustling of clothes, wind, or footsteps) to an unbearable level, it is usually because the external microphones are overly sensitive, slightly clogged, or processing the sound through an uncalibrated frequency curve. 

Before deciding to return them, try these troubleshooting steps to fix the problem:

1. Connect your AirPods Pro 3 to your iPhone.
2. Open the Settings app and navigate to Accessibility.
3. Scroll down and tap Audio & Visual > Headphone Accommodations.
4. Turn Headphone Accommodations on.
5. Scroll down, tap Transparency Mode, and toggle on Custom Transparency Mode.
6. Adjust the Tone: Drag the "Tone" slider toward Dark. This cuts out the piercing, high-frequency harshness (like clothes rustling) and emphasizes lower frequencies.
7. Turn up Ambient Noise Reduction: Drag this slider up to filter out unwanted background hiss and sharp transient environmental noises.
