AirPods 太棒了。凭借无缝连接、卓越的音质和时尚的设计，它们已成为无线耳塞的首选。但即使是最好的技术也会时不时地陷入困境。
一些用户报告的此类烦恼之一是高音调噪音。如果这个问题一直困扰着您，那么您很幸运。下面，我们将探讨原因和七个修复方法，让您的AirPods重回正轨。
是什么导致了(Causing)烦人的高音噪音(High-Pitched Noise)？
在我们研究针对高音调哀鸣的各种潜在原因的具体修复方法之前，了解根本原因会很有帮助。这不是详尽的列表，但此问题的一些更常见的原因包括：
- 主动降噪反馈环(Noise Cancellation Feedback Loop)：如果您的AirPods没有良好的密封性，ANC会尝试通过尽可能大的声音来补偿外部噪音，从而导致您的AirPods发出尖叫声。
- 黑网(Black Mesh)问题：耳塞上的黑网可能被污染、未对准或无法让声音正确通过板载降噪麦克风。
- 与其他蓝牙(Bluetooth) 设备(Devices)的干扰：在某些情况下，其他蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备可能会导致音频出现故障。
- 设备特定问题：仅当与特定设备或多个设备配对时，可能会出现高音调噪音，这可能需要软件更新或其他干预。
在大多数情况下，问题是可以解决的，并且不是由于 AirPods、AirPods Pro或AirPods Max出现永久性问题造成的，因此接下来，我们将介绍一些实用的修复方法，您可以尝试从这款半耳机中拯救您的耳朵。 -狗哨。
1. 检查耳塞(Ear Seal)或关闭降噪(Turn Off Noise Cancellation)和通透模式(Transparency Mode)
降噪(Noise Cancellation)和透明模式(Transparency Mode)旨在打造无缝的音频体验，让您无需摘下耳机即可隔绝外界噪音或让它进入。
然而，低质量的密封件可能会导致这些功能发生故障，从而产生令人不安的高音调声音。这种噪音可能是算法试图补偿耳朵密封不良的无意结果，从而产生了一个问题，破坏了旨在让您的耳朵免受不必要噪音影响的功能的意义。
您应该做的第一件事是确保您的耳塞式耳机或耳罩式AirPods Max与您的耳朵形成适当的密封。请记住(Remember)，只有能够在耳朵内或耳朵周围形成密封的AirPods型号（例如(AirPods)AirPods Pro）才具有ANC和透明度。AirPods 3等设备没有密封，因此不包括
ANC 。
确保您的AirPod正确贴合，并且您已选择适合您耳朵的耳塞。您不必在两个耳塞上使用相同的耳塞。例如，左边的AirPod可能有一个小尖端，而右边的 AirPod 可能有一个中等尖端。您还可以考虑使用定制模制耳塞，以实现完美密封。
如果在仔细检查耳封后高音噪音没有消失，那么要确认它们确实是问题所在，您应该暂时禁用它们：
- 在 iOS 或 iPad 中，转到Settings > Bluetooth。
- 选择 AirPods 旁边的“i”图标。
- 关闭(Turn)“降噪”(Noise Cancellation)或将其设置为“透明度”(Transparency)。
- 测试问题是否仍然存在。
如果您不使用 iPhone 或者不想通过一堆菜单来寻找噪音控制选项，您可以使用AirPods上的快捷方式激活或停用(AirPods)ANC。如果您使用的是AirPods耳机，请按住任意AirPods(AirPod)耳机上的力传感器，直至听到提示音。如果您使用的是AirPods Max，请按右侧耳罩前面的椭圆形按钮在ANC和透明(Transparency)模式之间切换。
关闭这些功能可能会改变您的音频体验。尽管如此，如果它消除了噪音，它可能只是一个临时解决方案，直到您找到这些功能的问题或得到专业人士的帮助。下面提出的一些其他修复可能会解决此问题，因此请稍后再次
尝试ANC 。
2.禁用自动耳朵检测
自动耳朵检测功能可在将(Ear Detection)AirPods从耳朵中取出时暂停播放，从而增加便利性。然而，故障可能会导致它误解耳朵的存在或不存在，从而导致 AirPods发出(AirPods)令人不快的高音调噪音。
如果这种情况只是偶尔发生，那么可能不需要您采取任何进一步的操作，因为没有任何功能可以 100% 完美地工作，但如果您经常遇到不需要的噪音，特别是在取出或插入 AirPods 时，请关闭此功能以查看问题是否消失离开：
- 导航(Navigate)至General Settings > Bluetooth。
- 选择 AirPods 旁边的“i”图标。
- 向下滚动(Scroll)并关闭Automatic Ear/Head Detection。
此操作将阻止您的 AirPods 在从耳朵中取出时暂停播放，并可能解决烦人的噪音问题。
请记住，一旦关闭此功能，当您取下 AirPods 时，您的内容将继续播放，这会耗尽您的电池寿命，当然，还会使您失去在播客、电影或其他类型内容中的位置。
如果头部检测是罪魁祸首，并且您无法让它持续工作，则传感器可能出现问题，这可能需要专业人士的关注。但是，如果由于您的耳朵或头部不典型而导致该功能不太适合您，那么您可能别无选择，只能生活在没有它的情况下，并遭受手动暂停的轻微不便。
3.重置你的AirPods
与任何小工具一样，AirPods 也可能会出现故障和错误，从而扰乱正常功能。
重置AirPods会将其恢复为出厂设置，从而消除许多故障，就像重新启动出现故障的计算机一样。以下是重置您的方法：
- 确保他们已收费。
- 在“设置”中，选择“蓝牙”(Bluetooth)，然后选择 AirPods 旁边的“i”，然后轻点“忘记(Forget)此设备”(Device)。
- 将它们放入充电盒中，等待 30 秒，然后按住状态按钮 15 秒。
- (Re-pair)将AirPods与您的设备(AirPods)重新配对。
此步骤将清除导致高音调声音的所有设置，让您的 AirPods 重新开始。
由于AirPods(AirPods)上不存储任何用户数据，因此重置它们几乎没有什么坏处。但是，如果您设置了个性化空间音频，则可能需要再次执行此操作。
如果您在重置 AirPods 时遇到问题，请参阅如何重置 AirPods 或 AirPods Pro(How to Reset AirPods or AirPods Pro)或AirPods 重置后无法连接？(AirPods Won’t Connect After Resetting Them?)
4. 检查其他蓝牙连接(Bluetooth Connections)
您的 AirPods 使用蓝牙(Bluetooth)（一种支持无线通信的协议）连接到设备。同时连接到多个设备或多个设备尝试配对时，可能会发生干扰。
这就像数据通信中的无线交通拥堵一样，导致令人烦恼且意想不到的问题。为了解决这个问题，可以采取以下措施：
- 转至蓝牙设置。
- 断开其他配对设备的连接。
- 重新连接 AirPods 并测试声音。
限制连接可以减少干扰，并且可能是您需要的快速解决方案。并非每个设备都有能力同时
管理大量蓝牙连接，因此值得将您的 AirPods 隔离为唯一连接的设备来检查并消除此问题。(Bluetooth)
5.检查设备的声音系统(Sound System)或蓝牙(Bluetooth)
有时，故障不在于 AirPods ，(AirPods)而在于所连接的设备。设备的音响系统、蓝牙(Bluetooth)功能或过时的软件出现问题可能会导致AirPods发出尖锐的噪音。
这就像将音频文件本身的问题归咎于扬声器；这是一种误诊，可能会导致您忽略简单的修复。
- 尝试使用其他声音设备或另一对AirPods播放音频。
- 检查蓝牙(Bluetooth)是否适用于 AirPods 以外的其他设备。
- 更新设备上的固件（例如Apple Watch、iPhone、Samsung Galaxy）。
- 更新您的 AirPods 固件(Update your AirPods firmware)。
此操作可能会表明连接的设备是罪魁祸首，而您的 AirPods 没有问题。如果即使不通过 AirPods 播放音频，您仍然听到尖锐的噪音，那么好消息是您的 AirPods 没有问题。坏消息是您的设备存在一些问题，但这超出了我们的范围。
6. 检查是否有物理损坏或错位
AirPods 是一种复杂的设备；任何物理损坏或错位都会影响性能。例如，突出的黑色网格或水损坏可能会导致高音调噪音。
- 检查耳塞上的黑色网布；如果它突出或脏了，可能会引起噪音。
- 确保您的AirPods没有浸入水中或受到物理损坏。
仔细检查您的AirPods可能会发现导致高音调噪音的物理问题。请记住(Remember)，AirPods防水防汗，但并不防水，因此请小心对待。
7. 从 Apple 支持获取帮助
有时，高音调的噪音问题超出了基本的故障排除范围，需要前往苹果(Apple)商店。这可能是一个复杂的硬件问题或需要专门工具和知识的设计缺陷。老实说，除了AirPods Max之外，AirPods都是如此小而挑剔的设备，即使是专业人士也可能无法经济高效地对其进行维修。
因此，除非您仍在 Apple 的标准或延长的Apple Care +保修期内，否则您可能会寻找一副新耳机，除非您可以忍受没有任何问题根源的功能。
希望(Hopefully)您的耳鸣现在已成为过去，否则下一个建议就是预约听力学家！
AirPods Making High-Pitched Noise? Try These 7 Fixes
AirPods are awesome. With seamless connectivitу, excellent sound quality, and a slеek design, they’ve become the go-to choice for wireless earbuds. But even thе best tech can stumble every now and then.
One such annoyance that some users are reporting is high-pitched noise. If this issue has been bugging you, you’re in luck. Below, we’ll explore the causes and seven fixes to get your AirPods back on track.
What’s Causing That Annoying High-Pitched Noise?
Before we look at the specific fixes for the various potential causes of the high-pitched whine, it’s helpful to know the root causes. This isn’t an exhaustive list, but some of the more common reasons for this issue include:
- Active Noise Cancellation Feedback Loop: If your AirPods don’t have a good seal, the ANC will try to compensate for the outside noise by being as loud as possible, leading to a situation where your AirPods make squealing noises.
- Issues with Black Mesh: The black mesh on the earbuds may be fouled, misaligned, or not letting sound through the onboard noise cancellation mics correctly.
- Interference with Other Bluetooth Devices: In some cases, other Bluetooth devices might cause glitches in your audio.
- Device-Specific Issue: The high-pitched noise might occur only when paired to a specific device or multiple devices, which might require a software update or another intervention.
In most cases, the problem can be fixed and isn’t the result of something permanently wrong with your AirPods, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max, so next, we’ll look at practical fixes you can try to save your ears from this semi-dog whistle.
1. Check Your Ear Seal or Turn Off Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode
Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode are designed to create a seamless audio experience where you can block out the world or let it in without removing your headphones.
However, a low-quality seal can cause these features to malfunction, leading to a high-pitched sound that’s quite disturbing. This noise might be an unintentional consequence of algorithms trying to compensate for the poor seal with your ear, thus creating a problem that defeats the point of a feature meant to spare your ears from unwanted noises.
The first thing you should do is ensure that your earbuds or over-ear AirPods Max make a proper seal with your ear. Remember, only AirPods models that can form a seal (e.g., AirPods Pro) in or around your ears have ANC and transparency. Devices like the AirPods 3 don’t make a seal, so ANC is not included.
Ensure your AirPods fit correctly and that you’ve chosen the right ear tips for your ears. You don’t have to use the same ear tip on both. For example, your left AirPod might have a small tip, while the right one has a medium tip. You could also consider having custom molded ear tips made for a perfect seal.
If the high-pitch noise doesn’t go away after double-checking your ear seal, then to confirm that they are, in fact, the problem, you should temporarily disable them:
- In iOS or your iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
- Select the ‘i’ icon next to your AirPods.
- Turn off Noise Cancellation or set it to Transparency.
- Test if the problem persists.
If you aren’t using an iPhone or don’t want to look for noise control options by going through a bunch of menus, you can activate or deactivate ANC using a shortcut on your AirPods. If you’re using AirPods buds, press and hold the force sensor on any AirPod bud until you hear a chime. If you’re using AirPods Max, press the oblong button on the front of the right hand earcup to toggle between ANC and Transparency mode.
Turning off these features may alter your audio experience. Still, if it eliminates the noise, it might be a temporary solution until you can find the issue with these features or get a professional to help. Some other fixes proposed below may resolve this issue, so try ANC again afterward.
2. Disable Automatic Ear Detection
Automatic Ear Detection adds convenience by pausing playback when the AirPods are removed from the ears. However, glitches can cause it to misinterpret the ear’s presence or absence, resulting in the AirPods emitting an unpleasant high-pitched noise.
If this only happens occasionally, then it may not need any further action from you since no feature works 100% perfectly, but if you frequently experience unwanted noises, specifically when removing or inserting your AirPods, turn off this feature to see if the problem goes away:
- Navigate to General Settings > Bluetooth.
- Select the ‘i’ icon next to your AirPods.
- Scroll down and toggle off Automatic Ear/Head Detection.
This action will stop your AirPods from pausing playback when removed from your ears and might resolve the irritating noise issue.
Just remember that once you turn off this feature, your content will keep playing when you remove your AirPods, which can drain your battery life and, of course, make you lose your place in a podcast, movie, or other type of content.
If the head detection is the culprit and you can’t get it to work consistently, there might be something wrong with the sensor, which may need professional attention. However, if the feature doesn’t work well for you because your ears or head are atypical, you may have no choice but to live without it and suffer the minor inconvenience of manually pausing things.
3. Reset Your AirPods
AirPods can run into glitches and bugs that disrupt normal functioning like any gadget.
Resetting the AirPods restores them to factory settings, eliminating many glitches, just like rebooting a misbehaving computer. Here’s how to reset yours:
- Ensure they’re charged.
- In settings, select Bluetooth, then the ‘i” next to your AirPods, then tap Forget This Device.
- Place them in the charging case, wait 30 seconds, then press the status button for 15 seconds.
- Re-pair the AirPods with your device.
This step will clear any settings causing the high-pitched sound, giving your AirPods a fresh start.
Since no user data is stored on the AirPods, there’s little downside to resetting them. However, you may have to do it again if you’ve set up personalized spatial audio.

4. Check Other Bluetooth Connections
Your AirPods connect to devices using Bluetooth, a protocol that enables wireless communication. Interference can occur when connected to multiple devices simultaneously or when multiple devices are trying to pair.
This is like a wireless traffic jam in data communication, causing a bothersome and unexpected problem. To deal with this, here is what to do:
- Go to Bluetooth Settings.
- Disconnect other paired devices.
- Reconnect your AirPods and test the sound.
Limiting connections can reduce interference and could be the quick fix you need. Not every device has the capacity to manage a large number of Bluetooth connections at the same time, so it’s worth isolating your AirPods as the only connected device to check for and eliminate this issue.
5. Examine Your Device’s Sound System or Bluetooth
Sometimes, the fault lies not with the AirPods but with the connected device. A problem with the device’s sound system, Bluetooth functionality, or outdated software can cause the AirPods to emit a high-pitched noise.
This is like blaming the speaker for a problem in the audio file itself; it’s a misdiagnosis that can lead you to overlook a simple fix.
- Try playing audio with another sound device or a different pair of AirPods.
- Check if Bluetooth works with other devices than your AirPods.
- Update your firmware on the device (e.g., Apple Watch, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy).
- Update your AirPods firmware.
This action might reveal that the connected device is the culprit and your AirPods are fine. If you still hear the high-pitched noise even when not playing audio through your AirPods, the good news is that your AirPods are fine. The bad news is that your device has some issues, but that’s outside of our scope here.
6. Inspect for Physical Damage or Misalignment
AirPods are intricate devices; any physical damage or misalignment can impact performance. For example, a protruding black mesh or water damage could cause a high-pitched noise.
- Check the black mesh on the earbuds; if it’s protruding or dirty, it may be causing the noise.
- Ensure your AirPods weren’t submerged in water or physically damaged.
Carefully inspecting your AirPods might unveil physical issues causing the high-pitched noise. Remember that AirPods are water and sweat-resistant, but they aren’t waterproof, so treat them carefully.
7. Get Help From Apple Support
Sometimes, the high-pitched noise issue is beyond basic troubleshooting and requires a trip to the Apple store. It could be a complex hardware problem or a design flaw needing specialized tools and knowledge. If we’re being honest, except for maybe the AirPods Max, AirPods are such small and finicky devices that even the pros might not be able to service them cost-effectively.
So unless you’re still under Apple’s standard or extended Apple Care + warranty, you might be looking for a new pair of headphones unless you can live without whichever feature is the source of problems.
Hopefully, that ringing in your ears is now a thing of the past, or else the next tip is to book an appointment with an audiologist!
