Beeping or howling noise when holding the Galaxy Buds

When noise control features such as Active noise canceling (ANC), Adaptive sound, and Ambient sound are turned on, the sub microphone located outside the earbuds will play incoming sounds through the speaker.

When wearing, removing, or adjusting the earbuds, a beeping or howling sound may occur. This sound may also occur when holding the buds, as you may accidentally cover the sub microphone. Make sure you do not block the sub microphone in these situations.
