Left AirPod (AirPod 5)has whooshing sound with Noise Cancellation/Transparency Mode

Anyone experiencing a whooshing/wind-like sound from the left AirPod5 ? Mine keeps making this noise, especially when Noise Cancellation/Transparency Mode is on. It’s quite noticeable and annoying in a quiet environment.

Has anyone had the same issue, and did a replacement or reset fix it?

A whooshing, hissing, or wind-like sound in one AirPod when Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or Transparency mode is active is a known hardware and microphone-processing issue.

Приветствую.

Проблема ли это, не могу знать, но раздражает в тихой обстановке.

У меня оба наушника издают "темный шум" или "шум ветра" при включенной функции шумоподавления. Решения не нашлось.

Еще, переодически сталкиваюсь с нестабильной адаптацией низких частот в зависимости от прилегания наушников в ушах, это тоже доставляет дискомфорт.
