There is a problem with airpods, in different modes (noise reduction, transparency) there is noise that looks like white noise. It is heard in quiet places. And it is most noticeable in the transparency mode. If you turn off all modes, then this noise disappears. Is this normal?

I've been comparing the Bose QC2 Earbuds with my AirPods Max

I didn't realize the APP2's have white noise/hiss, as do the Bose QC2

I have none on my APM and I've been docking the Bose buds for it..
Perhaps it just something you have to deal with on bud size/shaped options for now if even the APP2s have it?
