Why Is My Sony WH-1000xm3 Making a Weird Noise?

The main reason why Sony WH-1000xm3 earbuds make a weird buzzing noise because the firmware isn’t updated. Other causes are buggy auto-pause feature or Bluetooth interference by other electronic devices.

 

Possible Causes

• Outdated firmware of the headphones causes weird sounds
• Malfunctioning auto-pause feature

• Electronic interferences

 

Outdated firmware of the headphones causes weird sounds

Electronic devices must have their software updated regularly. If you keep delaying it, the devices will eventually crash or malfunction. Update your software the first time you hear weird sounds in the earbuds.

Also, update the app from where your music is being played. Ensure that your headset, your audio output device, and the app that is playing music are updated.

 

Malfunctioning auto-pause feature

When the auto-pause feature is enabled, it sometimes messes up the audio output. Turning the feature off is a great way to fix the issue.

 

The incompatible operating system of the headset

The audio output may be incompatible with the headset. You should connect the earbuds with some other device to rule out this possibility. If the earbuds work perfectly well when paired with other devices, it indicates that your device is incompatible with them.

 

Electronic interferences

If you are in an area with lots of Bluetooth-enabled devices, you may observe some disturbance in the sound quality of your headset. Areas with high traffic of these devices make it impossible for you to hear the sound coming from the headset. Try changing your location and sitting in an area with fewer such devices.
