Here’s why your Galaxy Buds 3/3 Pro beeping and how to fix it
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro launched with several new functions and impressive design. Some users have encountered a beeping issue while using the Galaxy Buds 3 series. However, Samsung is aware of this issue and explained the cause of it.
If you’re also experiencing an unexpected beeping or howling sound while using your Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 or Buds 3 Pro, it might be related to the earbuds’ advanced noise control features.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have features like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Optimized Noise Control, and Ambient Sound. These functions use microphones on the outside of the earbuds to either block out noise, adjust to your environment, or let you hear outside sounds better.
The issue usually occurs if you accidentally cover or touch the sub-microphone, which is located on the outer part of the earbuds. When ANC, Optimized Noise Control, or Ambient Sound are turned on, these features pick up sounds from this microphone and play them back through the earbuds.
If you cover the microphone while handling the earbuds, it can cause a beeping or howling noise. To avoid this, make sure you don’t cover the area around the sub-microphone when you’re putting on, taking off, or adjusting the earbuds.
You can prevent the beeping sound and enjoy the benefits of your Galaxy Buds 3 or Buds 3 Pro without interruptions, just by properly placing it.

Samsung One UI 7 is set to introduce new AI features for Galaxy phones. After the initial Galaxy AI arrival, Apple is bringing Apple Intelligence with iOS 18. Samsung has also introduced new AI features with new foldables to counter Apple’s entry into the segment.
Samsung One UI 7 Galaxy AI features wishlist
Galaxy AI brings both on-device AI and cloud-processing-based features. The latest frontier of Galaxy AI debuted on July 10 with the Galaxy Z6 series. Nevertheless, we are excited about more new and useful AI features with the 2025 iteration.
Enhanced on-device and cloud AI
Galaxy S24 and Z6 series powered by Gemini Nano AI model. Google is working on Gemini Nano v2 with more AI capabilities, power efficiency, and reliability. It would benefit smartphones equipping the new AI model developed by Google.
The mixed suite of AI features is beneficial in many ways. Consumers don’t need to worry about privacy with on-device AI features. At the same time, consumers get quite useful image and video editing tools as well as wallpaper generators through cloud-based AI.
OS-level writing tools
One UI 7 should follow Apple’s edge of system-wide writing tools. Galaxy’s next major Galaxy AI upgrade should introduce features like rewrite, proofread, and summarize that work across all apps. Upgraded writing assistance will surely help Galaxy users in their everyday tasks.
AI notifications
Notifications are the most important aspect of our smartphones. Whether it’s a phone call, text message, or social media interaction, the notification function is the key to all. Due to multiple apps and services, users often face a condition where arrangement becomes a tough task.
Apple Intelligence managed to address the problem with the Priority Notifications feature. Artificial intelligence learns the usage patterns and importance plus priority of notifications. Based on deep analysis, the OS displays priority notifications on top followed by others.
Image and video enhancement
One UI 6.1’s Photo Editor added many useful tools for pro-editing in less time. Many third-party AI-powered photo editing apps are loaded with cool features. Samsung should adopt such tools to offer an effortless editing experience on Galaxy devices.
Smart Circle to Search
Circle to Search is a great feature that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung and Google expanded it to their flagship devices. Besides, Google is working to fulfill its commitment to installing Circle to Search on 200 million devices worldwide.
This functionality should be further optimized with system functions. The addition of the translate button is worth praising and we need Circle to Search to evolve further. Apple’s iPhones don’t have any feature similar or equivalent to Circle to Search.
Google Pixel phones will receive the Stable Android 15 update in the coming weeks. The new OS remained limited to the Pixel devices till I/O 2024. This month, Samsung will likely open its Android 15 Beta Program — One UI 7 — for Galaxy devices.
Following the I/O 2024 event, Android vendors including Xiaomi, OPPO, and OnePlus started Public Beta for their flagships, which Samsung has not joined. In the meantime, the company is swiftly working on kicking off the One UI Beta program soon.
One UI 6.1.1 is the latest Galaxy skin based on Android 14. The Android 15-based One UI 7 will arrive on many Samsung devices later this year. While we are in September 2024, we already know Galaxy devices are eligible for Android 15.
Android 15 Easter Egg
The Galaxy S24 series will surely be the first to get One UI 7 Beta sometime in August this year. The South Korean tech giant will then expand its Beta activity for other latest flagships including Galaxy Z Fold 6/Flip 6, and some older lineups including but not limited to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Z Fold 5.
