Some AirPods Pro 3 users are reporting irritating static sound in their buds — how about you?

A pair of Apple AirPods Pro 3.

The AirPods Pro 3 are a lovely pair of the best earbuds — or at least they would be, if they didn't spit horrible static and "whistling" noises at you. That's what some users of the Macrumors forums are reporting — when you've got some form of noise canceling or transparency on, the earbuds emit a strange (and perhaps most importantly, annoying) static sound.

There are plenty of users at MacRumors who are experiencing the issue, and some have even taken their earbuds back to Apple for a successful return. So, what might be happening, and have we been able to reproduce the issue here at Tom's Guide?
