If you’ve noticed a intermittent sound come from the custody of yours AirPods Pro 2 while I’m charging, don’t worry: it’s not a problem, but a functionality desired by Apple. This “chime” was introduced last year with the launch of the feature Hearing Health and serves to ensure the correct functioning of the microphones and speakers of the earphones.
According to one guide published by Apple, the sound is designed to verify that the AirPods’ microphones and speakers are perfectly operational. This is especially important for providing accurate results in hearing health tests, one of the key features built into the AirPods Pro 2.
Apple explains:
To ensure that the AirPods’ microphones and speakers perform at their best (for example, to provide quality results in hearing health tests), the AirPods may periodically emit a quiet chime while in the charging case.
The chime from the AirPods Pro 2 isn’t the only sound the earbuds or their case can make. However, Apple does not provide detailed guidance on all possible sounds, which can be a problem confusing for users.
Here are some examples of sounds emitted by AirPods Pro:
- Low battery: A high-pitched tone alerting you that your earphones or case are low on battery.
- Charging connection: A short beep sounds when the case is connected to a charger or placed on a wireless cradle.
- Operational test: Sound emitted while charging to ensure optimal functioning of microphones and speakers.
If the chime emitted by the case bothers you, you can turn it off by following these steps:
- Connect the AirPods to an Apple device (iPhone, iPad or Mac).
- Open Settings on your device.
- Tap the AirPods icon (visible when connected).
- Turn off the “Enable charging case sounds” option.
This setting doesn’t affect other helpful AirPods sounds, like low battery or charging connection sounds.
