A quiet chime sounding from inside the closed case has temporarily sparked speculation among AirPods Pro 2 owners. The newly added noise left question marks among those who listened to it, because why should wireless earbuds be so loud when they are in the worst conditions for listening? Apple has explained the purpose of the noise in a support document.

The official website says, “To ensure that your AirPods microphone and speaker work optimally (for example to deliver high-quality listening test results), your AirPods charging case will periodically sound a quiet beep.” Can play.” This also explains why the noise is appearing now, as new hearing aids and hearing test functions were introduced with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS 15.1 not long ago.

One Listener’s letter to ATP Podcast The ball turned. A listener there was surprised by the strange noise, after which three presenters also reported that they too had similar experiences.
Apart from calibration, the AirPods Pro 2 case also makes acoustic appearances on other occasions. Noise also occurs when the device is connected to a charging cable or placed on a charging pad when the battery is low. However, these noises can be turned off in Settings.
Why is there no observation?
The discussion, which was initially about the noise, has now moved more to the question of why Apple doesn’t provide better documentation to help buyers of the device understand what the noise means. It is criticized that there is no central point of contact, rather that information is – as is the case in this case – distributed individually in various support documents.
Apple blogger John Gruber jokes in one postThat Apple apparently can no longer “afford to create anything as simple as an interactive web page with examples of the sounds the AirPods make and an explanation of what those sounds mean.”
