I am using my Airpod Pros on their first flight this evening. I am noticing a loud and annoying squeak when I push the Airpods into my ears to adjust them.This did not happen prior to the flight, so I wonder if it has something to do with cabin pressure and the seal. Fortunately I do no have to adjust often as it is quite annoying. It definitely has something to do with the noise cancellation as it does not happen if I turn noise cancellation completely off.

I noticed the same thing during my flight, it's a beep sound that occurs when you apply pressure to adjust it. It must be some kind of feature but I don't see it documented anywhere...

*Haven't flown with mine but I have that issue with it when adjusting the left Airpod (pushing it back in for seal).

Just got that as well while cleaning them. It the acoustic feedback from the microphones - not really a feature, but just a fact, that happens, if you block the microphones somehow.
