My Headphones are making a creaking noise | Bose QuietComfort Headphones
Adjust fit and settings to minimise creaking
In some environments, you may notice a faint creaking or clicking sound, sometimes from just one earcup.
This behaviour is normal and not a defect, and Service Replacement is unlikely to resolve it.
How to Reduce the Creaking
1. Ensure Even Headband Extension
Make sure both sides of the headband are extended evenly.
- Uneven extension can create unequal pressure on each earcup
- This can lead to subtle movement or noise in one side
This is the most effective adjustment and often resolves the issue.
2. Adjust Fit and Position
- Reposition the headphones slightly on your head
- Ensure both earcups form a balanced, even seal
- Avoid tilting or uneven placement
A small adjustment in fit can reduce pressure-related noise.
3. Enable Wind Cancelling (Wind Block) Mode
If the noise persists:
- Turn on Wind Block under Modes in the Bose app
- This mode reduces sensitivity to low-frequency vibration and airflow effects
