High pitched noise on AirPods Pro 3

On a flight right now - OMG that screeching is painful! Mine occurred in right ear.

Placed in Adaptive mode… so far that’s working. Unfortunately hearing chatter around me a bit which is annoying that I cannot use noise cancellation. - came back to edit immediately because screeching occurred in Adaptive mode. 🤬

AND it occurs in Transparency mode as well.

If flight next week gives same results they’ll be returned. I’ll instead use first generation with short battery life. Argh.

I have the same problem. Bought them the day before yesterday. Now in an aircraft, only problems with high pitch noise. Impossible to listen to music,

to watch movies. Shame on Apple. I never had issues with version 2. Why I bought version 3???? Another problem: Incan not return them since I am for some month know in a different country.

just to add to this. It happens every time I take them out. If you put them in your hand and close your hand it sounds like crickets. I can’t even wear a hood or beanie with them in. And I definitely can’t go to sleep with them in. I tried that and I woke up to the loud ringing noise. It was very annoying…

Thanks. That’s promising to hear. I just got back from traveling by air. Trip going it was horrible. Return trip not quite as deafening and once positioned in ear just perfectly I was able to use. I may change the ear piece out for another size but not sure which since every size passes the “test”. I likely won’t travel for a couple months so … not sure if I should return or hope for the best. You’ve given me some hope at least 😁

I just want to contribute to this with an observation if that is okay!

While I do not have any issue with mine, I am noticing that majority of the issues that have been mentioned have the common factor of people who have been on flights/planes with them, I have not (which helps towards that point, maybe?)

Do you think that or something related to that could be the cause?

@Venomismypoison, for what it's worth: mine wasn't limited to planes. It started with just loud environments (gym, mall, and planes), but then eventually started doing it in almost all environments, except like absolute quiet.

Apple replaced my left and right AirPods Pro 3 and I’m at the mall right to ask them to send to warranty again!!

It took them one week to repair, they gave me them back this week and now I’ll have to stay without them for another week because of this issue!!!

I’m having this problem in my daily use

same issue in my situation only with the right airpod pro 3. it screeches when i put it in my ear and then puts out noises during loud or soft environments .

correction : right amazon airpod pro 3 started the screech. probably will end up going back to pro gen 2

Same issue. On flight and getting a high pitched noise from the right AirPod. Varies in volume and frequency of occurrence. Very annoying. Needs to be fixed

I bought mine in Germany, and I have the same issue as I got in a flight. That didn't happen with the airpods pro 2. Mine was the right one.

Same issue, left EarPod. Apple Store can’t replace because they don’t have any stock left. Terrible customer service 🙄

That’d make sense if the silicone seal was bad, but it’s properly formed and nominal. Tried despite that and no, also the earbud seal test should easily notice any kind of air gap.

Amazon APP3 developed same issues. I am now back to using APP2.

Bought just few days ago from amazing the AirPods Pro 3. Same issue on the left one in the airplane. I had this issue before while sleeping few times with the pro 2.
