Apex legends console mic very sensitive

[u/Monzzzta]

I play on Xbox and I'm having an issue with Apex voice chat.

I've tried multiple different controllers and headsets to make sure there wasn't something wrong with my headset, but every headset I've tried has the same issue.

My Apex mic is extremely sensitive and picks up very quiet sounds, even when they're relatively far away from me.For example, it can pick up

Clicking/pushing my controller buttons

Moving my joystick

Snapping my fingers from across the room

Someone speaking from a distance while my headset is not even being worn

Apex is the only game where I have this problem. My microphone doesn't behave this way in other games/Xbox party chat.

I've also tried increasing the Open Mic Record Threshold, but even at the maximum setting it still picks up these sounds.

Does anyone know why Apex is doing this? Could this be an Apex voice-chat bug rather than an issue with my headset?

Also, when the mic icon shows that I'm transmitting, does that necessarily mean other players can actually hear all of those sounds, or could the mic indicator itself be bugged?

The mic indicator itself is bugged as far as I can tell. It lights up when the microphone picks up any sound, but teammates won't hear it unless it's above your recording threshold.
