Why Do My AirPods Keep Beeping? [SOLVED]

AirPods is one of the Apple devices that most people love to use to entertain themselves. If you are a newbie, when AirPods beep, you may find it confusing to figure out the reason behind this. If you think to yourself why my AirPods are beeping, we are here to help you. Let’s get started and fix the random noise coming from your AirPods. 

Why Are My AirPods Keep Beeping? 

These are the major reasons for your AirPods to beep.

Low Battery

Low battery is the main reason why AirPods beep. When its battery is about to die, AirPods make a continuous beeping sound. It is the sign that you should charge the AirPods.

When you hear the beeping sound, place the earbuds on the charging case (for AirPods Pro) or connect the lightning cable and let them charge completely. Check whether the charging case has been charged enough if you are an AirPod Pro user.

Wet AirPods

If you use your AirPods in the shower or when you swim, they get wet and make a beeping sound. AirPods make a beeping sound when they come into contact with any kind of liquid. Until you remove the wetness from the AirPods, you may hear this warning sound.

It is a must to remove the water before you charge it or use it since the moisture trapped in the AirPods can potentially damage the device.

A cool method we suggest is that putting your AirPods in a bowl of rice and let rice absorb the water. Then, you should wait at least 12 hours before charging or using it.

You never try to use heat tools to remove water from AirPods because they can potentially damage the earbuds. 

Pairing issues

As you know it is possible to pair your AirPods with different devices. If there is a connection issue, AirPods can produce a chirping sound. Mostly, when the two devices are not compatible, you will hear this noise. The same will happen when the Bluetooth is not working.

If you face a barrier when pairing two devices via Bluetooth, it is advisable to reset your AirPods and try to make the connection again. Read the next section to get a clear idea about resetting an AirPods.

Faulty internals

The internal mechanism of your AirPods can become faulty due to various reasons. Especially if you expose it to UV light, this can happen. When you are in a tanning bed, or you are exposed to high heat by chance, the internal mechanism of your AirPods can be damaged.

It is essential to use AiPods under the Apple recommended guidelines to stay away from temperature-related issues. All in all, when the beeping sound occurs on AirPods, it’s more to do how you use them; so, don’t blame your poor pair of earbuds!
