iOS 18 lets you customize adaptive audio on AirPods Pro to allow more or less noise
iOS 18 lets you adjust the Adaptive Audio feature which responds to the changing conditions in your environment by cancelling or allowing external noise.
Adaptive Audio is Apple’s marketing term for the computational audio features available on the second-generation AirPods Pro that respond to your environment: Adaptive Noise Control, Personalized Volume and Conversation Awareness.
In iOS 17, Adaptive Audio is a simple switch in the AirPods settings. iOS 18 changes this by bringing a new slider to customize adaptive audio to allow more or less noise.

Everyone will be able to customize adaptive audio when iOS 18 is released for public consumption in the fall. You’ll need to leave your earbuds in their charging case and near your iPhone overnight to trigger a firmware update.
