AirPods Pro 3 resonance in the right earbud in noise-canceling mode

Hi, I bought the new AirPods Pro 3 and after using them in the car, I noticed that every rumble, bump, and other "bass" sound penetrates the ANC and resonates in my ear.


This also happens on buses, trains, and trams (basically any engine noise and road/ride bumps), but not while walking or standing still. Only the right earbud does this, and only in ANC mode (if I switch to Transparency or Adaptive mode, it doesn't). The left earbud is completely fine, so this leads me to believe it might be firmware related.


I've tried resetting them and other common troubleshooting methods, but to no avail.


I'd like Apple support to look into it and release an update!

iPhone 13, iOS 26
