New Apple AirPod Pro 3 - Whistle Sound when inserting, do you get this?

[meridiusuk]

Hi all

I have owned a pair of apples AirPod Pro 2 for 3 years and upgraded them to the AirPod Proo pro 3 and is a fantastic upgrade from the version 2s for me that is as much better ANC and better fit and also better sound.

The problem is when i place the AirPod Pro 3 in my ears i get a whistle type sound until they a full placed in my ears and then i get no problems with them when i go for a run or just listening to them, this only seems to happen when i insert them into my ears. I have never had this problem with the version 2 and wanted to know if other users found to have the same problem as i am not sure if its normal or something going on when inserting them.

any ideas ?

My experience:

My left AirPod Pro 3 keeps making a high-pitched whistle when I place it in my ear, switch modes, touch it, or near steady noise like a fan. Right one’s fine. It also does it when there is a sudden loud noise. So it could be a hardware issue, not sure. I scheduled an appointment to go to the Genius Bar to get it checked out.

thanks for letting me know sounds like a bug in the software as versions 2 never did that but apart from that these are excellent buds.

let us know the outcome of the visit.

For me, it happens with both the right and left pods. I'm inclined to think it's software. Please let us know the outcome of your Genius Bar visit.

Hey guys, just a quick update, the earliest Genius Bar appointment I could get is Tuesday the 22nd at 5:15 PM. Once I go, I’ll try to report back as soon as I can with how it goes.

Great. Thanks. Very curious about the cause of this.

No whistle sound on mine, though i had times when my AirPods Pro 2 would have a bit of a feedback/screech sound when going in. I always suspected it was the mic from one (or possibly my Mac) causing this, so I’d be curious if you still experience this when you’re away from any other technology/microphones

I have that whistle too in my right Airpod… Let’s hope it can be fixed with a firmware update.

Same issue here with the left AirPod, it definitely sounds like a feedback issue with the internal mic at the diaphragm
