Sometimes, the airpods pro 2's ANC gets tuned down and you hear more of constant background noise like fans
The ANC will go back to max if you play loud white noise through your phone's speakers and you can feel the pressure change. You then get total silence until it slowly weakens again. When this happens it's still much quieter than ANC off, but we deserve pure silence at $250 and clearly the hardware is capable. There should be an option for manual ANC adjustment.
There's other posts describing this, with some people stating they had outstanding noise canceling out of the box until update "5B58". I got mine in December and they came with firmware 5B58
