How to Fix Static/Buzz Noise on Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro

Why are my Galaxy Buds2 Pro earbuds making a weird noise?

The main reason why Galaxy Buds2 Pro earbusd can make a weird buzzing noise is because the software is not updated, the devide needs to be reset, or due to too much moisture in the earbuds.

 

Outdated software is not the only reason for a weird noise in the earbuds. Several other factors also disrupt the headset’s sound:

  • Blown-out headphones cause a crackling noise in the earbuds
  • Earwax or debris buildup in the earbuds results in weird sounds
  • Electrical interferences within the Bluetooth range of the earbuds
  • The distance from the audio source is a cause behind weird sounds in the headset
  • Faulty wires disrupt the earbuds and create buzzing/hissing sounds
  • Outdated software is the main reason for interferences in the earbuds’ sound

 

Blown-out headphones cause a crackling noise in the earbuds

The speakers of the earbuds get damaged when they are exposed to loud volume for prolonged periods. This problem is rare, and earbuds like Galaxy Buds2 don’t go through such damage. But it is a possibility, and there is no harm in checking the earbuds’ hardware if you experience any weird noise.

 

Earwax or debris buildup in the earbuds results in weird sounds

Earwax or other debris or dirt found in the air can easily pass through the tiny holes of the earbuds. Many users don’t realize that the earbuds may need cleaning, and the debris remains unheeded. This buildup interferes with the headset’s circuit and results in strange noise.

 

Electrical interferences within the Bluetooth range of the earbuds

Electronic appliances like a microwave oven or WiFi routers cause interference in the earbuds’ signal. If you are near these appliances – for example, at a café, etc. – you should change your position and sit at a place with no such disturbances.

 

The distance from the audio source is a cause behind weird soundsin the headsets

The standard distance between wireless earbuds and the audio device is 30 feet. If you observe some weird sounds in the earbuds, you should come closer to the audio source.

 

Faulty wiresdisrupt the earbuds and create buzzing/hissing sounds

Sometimes, the problem lies in the hardware of the headset. Faulty wires interfere with the workings of the headset and cause weird sounds in them.

 

Outdated software is the main reason for interferences in the earbuds’ sound

The problem of weird sounds in the headset gets quickly resolved when it has been updated. Timely updates don’t create such problems at all.

Why is my Galaxy Buds2 Pro ANC not working?

If you have problems while using this feature, check the following:

  1. Are the earbuds properly inserted in your ear canal?

  3. Have you properly worn the earbuds.

 

If the earbuds don’t sit well inside your ear canal, you may observe that the headset cannot block background noise. Addressing these issues will help resolve the issue.
