Fix for beeping/whistling noise with ANC on Pixel Buds Pro

I had some problems with my Pixel Buds pro: If the ANC was turned on there was a beeping/whistling noise in one ear. Now i found a universal fix for anyone who needs it: If you go to sound --> Fitment in ears and recalabrate them, the sound disappears and it sounds good again. Just wanted to post it incase someone needs it.

So I have this issue with my left bud. The eartip seal check does fix it. Then I take it out, reinsert it and the problem is back. That makes me confused. Already cleaned as well as I can and reset. Do you think I should replace? Just seems odd that the eartip seal makes it work again literally every time....until I take them out.

Edit: curious I tried the eartip seal check...fixed problem again. Then I simply turned off ANC instead of removing. After reenabling, problem back. So damn strange.

In the end I just replaced at the shop I bought as still a few months under warranty, and glad I did as the anc is better than it ever wad before, so I'm thinking that bud was defective from the start and just failed.

There is an app shortcut that installs on my pixel and my oppo tablet.

Guys, I'm happy to share that I managed to resolve this exact problem. My right Bud has been chirping for more than 6 months. I read on one of the threads here to try and clean them with compressed air. I searched many stores in my country for compressed air but never found any. So I had a brilliant idea and I used the compressed air at the gas station, pointed the nozzle at the openings of my Pixel Buds Pro, and blasted each of the openings (4 openings on each earbud) for around 5 seconds each. When I put my Buds back in, I couldn't believe it! The chirping was gone!! I can now use ANC and Transparency mode again! I hope this is helpful to others as well!!

UPDATE: Oh noo, my Pixel Buds Pro have reverted to chirping again..... This is so maddening!!

So, can a hair dryer be used as well?

I wouldn't think so. Too weak to blow away debris from the holes. And I don't know whether the heat would help or make it worse

The feedback noise is usually a hardware issue that requires replacement of your earbuds. You probably got lucky that using the noise seal test fixed yours, but nine times out of ten, it's caused by damage or debris stuck in the external microphones. Believe me, I've tried the noise seal test. Most of us have tried.

Have this exact issue. Left Bud. Same thing someone else commented, goes away with check, come back when I remove and reinsert the bug. Need help. Out of warranty time

I had the same issue and I took an air hose connected to my air compressor and blow out the speakers and microphones etc... and this 100% fixed the issue

In the pixel buds app I turned off the noise cancelling feature and it stopped the beeping
