AirPods Pro 3 noice cancellation bug

I just bought AirPods Pro 3 and I experience this issue: When you switch directly from adaptive mode to noise cancellation, you still hear a little faint hiss in noise cancellation mode. But when you switch directly from transparency mode to noise cancellation, this hiss is gone, and the noise cancellation is better. I experience this on the MacBook Air m4, but also on my iPhone 15, both with iOS 26 and Tahoe 26. Does anyone else experience this?

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t experience it.
