Airpods pro 3 chirp/high pitch noise

Bought the APP3 late Sept. Worked like a charm the first week. The noise cancellation is ridiculously good. So good in fact, that no one should ever engage it while driving because you can't hear anything outside!! After that first week the weird whistling/chirp/feedback-y sounds began in the left earbud with either transparency or noise cancellation activated. Doesn't happen when those features are off. Tried every ear tip and resetting. Was able to get a Genius bar appointment on the 14th day, the last day of the return window. I was told I could exchange mine for a new pair. Unfortunately they were out of stock so all they could do was replace the left earbud. The issue continues with that replacement earbud. I'm outside of the return window and the Apple guy basically said they're not gonna be able to keep replacing the left earbud if the issue continues. The issue continues so I'm stuck.

My 3s have occasional chirping on both sides but I can just about tolerate it. What is annoying is that in transparency mode, both sides drop in volume, then back up, independently. These 3s are a replacement for a new pair of 2s where the drop only affected the right ear.

I'm going to try the Apple Store and see what they say.

I've had my AirPod 3's for a few days. Chirping occurs when in hearing assistance mode: in Transparency frequently; in Adaptive only when picking up conversation; in ANC only when conversing with someone.

The chirp is akin to a home smoke alarm low battery warning going off in the next room. The first time I tried them in Transparency mode I actually looked at the smoke alarm in the room to see if it was blinking but it wasn't, of course, since it's a 10 year hardwired/battery system I just installed.

So we're having an early nor'easter tomorrow and looks like I'll be stopping by the Apple Store while walking in the mall. First I'll try the reset troubleshooting method. Hopefully that'll resolve it.

Have a pair of AirPod 2's and could faintly notice some issues with hearing assistance with them as well. Instead of chirping it would be more like the mics for external sound would turn on or up from time to time with a very faint squeak in the left pod.

I also have the same issue which makes them unusable. I returned my original pair which apple exchanged and the second pair are exactly the same. Interestingly when my wife uses them she doesn’t have any issues. That said, the second pair are going back for a refund. Very disappointed.

Same issue for me.

First time it happened randomly, and it hurt in my ear!!! This was awful.

I reset them, and after few times I repeated this, the problem was solved.

Yesterday on the bike tour, after 4 hours into my ride, the left pod malfunctioned again.

Now I try returning them.

Sad that such a premium product is not working properly.

Seeing this issue of the chirping after a Heavy week of perfect operation

left ear chirps up to 4 times, this can be trigged by tapping the pod its self or simply placing it in your ear . After the error started there’s constant pink noise sort of hiss and cracking noises during operation

the ANC also seems to be toggle between modes at times triggers form the buds

I have video clips of the chirping and also the glitching mode switching behaviour

since the issue appeared I’ve refit them with different tips, consistency re adjusting the position in the ear,I’ve preformed resets and repaired but again I’ll re iterate the pods were working perfectly for a week with no issue. So for me the improper fit is not a factor

Same issue & they’re literally a day old. My AirPod pro 2’s have been through it, being washed multiple times, dropped in a lake, ran over, etc, & zero problems. I noticed the 3’s feel almost cheaper in a way. This is unacceptable & I’m baffled that other people are already having this issue. Here I was thinking Apple might’ve turned the table with these and made actual improvements in their products. Looks like I was wrong.

Currently on a flight and getting significant feedback (whistling,chirping) while in transparency/Noise canceling mode. Turned it to adaptive which it doesn’t seem to affect. Really disappointing. Going to apple today when I land

I experienced a horrible feedback/whistling noise in the left ear on a flight today. No previous issues prior. I was seated over a wing/engine. It was to the point where my headphones were unusable for 3/4 of a flight.

Same issue here, on my second pair now and am so disappointed. Chirping in my right bud even if i just touch it to adjust, and even when i hold them they both chirp whistle loudly.

I was on a flight yesterday - ok for 30 minutes then constant chirp in the right one... absolutely useless as it is ... so much for a 'premium product'. Mine 20 quid cheapos did a better job. Anyway will go to the store this weekend for a refund unfortunately, but i really wanted to like them :(

Had exactly the same issue on a night flight back last night (I'd worn my AirPods Max on the way out which were as old and faithful as ever, but had loaned them to my kid for the return flight so I had the buds in) - horrendous and made them absolutely unusable for flying.

Not at all impressed since I only bought these a week or so ago to replace some of the original AirPods Pro which had developed the static issue.

theres a problem with the airpods pro 3. we all know it. its not the fit, or that they need to be cleaned etc. its a hardware/software problem. please help us solve. im a runner and i travel alot. planes and long runs are the worst. please fix.

I had the same issue, but only on flights / plane. Not day to day at home or office. Maybe something to do with the in cabin noise frequency.

Same issue, only in my right ear during flight. Very disappointing, since noise cancellation is a huge necessity for me while flying.

I have another flight today, so I’ll give it a go again.

I would say mine have gotten worse since the firmware update
