The AirPods Pro “Rattlegate”

I've had my pair replaced for this too. It seems to be an issue with the NC mics. When neither NC nor Transparency are on, I didn't get the issue. Apple will do an Express Replacement (2-day new pair, _then_ you mail old pair back) which is nice.

Mine got so bad I would get the "rattle" anytime music had any amount of bass/mids. Regardless of noise-cancellation or transparency.

Possibly. It started out with just the "rattle" in noise cancellation or transparency mode. Then I started noticing it any time I talked on the phone/zoom/etc... (I have a deeper voice) then it started without the mic being used at all (NC completely off, just music or podcasts) ... Now the other pod is doing the same thing.

Could just be some glue inside broke off.
