AirPod Pros picking up too much sound

How do I fix my AirPods so they don’t pick up so much background noise while on calls? Whenever I take a call though my AirPods the person on the other end complains that they can’t hear me because all background noises are intensely amplified. I’ve searched these message boards and there seems to be no solution.

AirPods Pro picking up background noise on call AirPods Pro picking up background noise on call this issue has been posted on this forum since 2020 no microphone noise suppression, in fact seems to amplify back ground noise to the caller. Everyone still seems to be having trouble with making phone calls with your AirPod pros? Every time I talk with someone through my AirPods, they complain about how LOUD everything is on my end. Not only do they pick up ambient background noise, but for some reason they seem to amplify these sounds as well. I can be doing something as minute as unzipping my backpack while I’m on the phone and my friends will express how irritating the sound is. What do I do? My devices are all up to date. I’ve tried the “forget AirPods Pro” trick in the Bluetooth menu. I hate that there has still not been a fix for this to my knowledge ? surely Apple engineers have to address or recall them as its a fault & or provide an open statement confirming the issue & noise cancellation property’s so widely sold, only work one way… & are amplified to 3rd party callers 🤷‍♂️
