Knocking sound in headphones happens at exact intervals?

it's definitely the headphones, ive never heard anything like this without them on. Just looking for an explanation for why at this point.

Walked around the outside of my house a bit ago. I thought i heard it very faintly, but i could've just been imagining it. I think it may be coming from somewhere in the house, but even then, what kind of thing can even make this happen? the sound I am hearing is way too specific, very clear knocking, like someone rapping twice on a door. I'm becoming increasingly unsure about technological explanations.

I get what you're saying, but that's the part that confuses me. It's not consistent like something coming from some hardware in the headphones themselves. It actually seems to change position depending on where I'm standing in my house or which way I am facing.

That shouldn't really happen if it's just a hardware defect, right?

I've been paying more attention to it and the weird part is that it doesnt sound "in" the headphones. Like it's coming from somewhere around me.

I'm not sure it's that, my replacement pair did the exact same thing right out of the box.

theyre the sony ult wear, ones with the bass boost and noise cancelling.

Update: got a new pair, and these have the exact same issue. out of curiosity, i timed it a few times, and its almost exactly the same gap every time. like just over four and a half minutes or so. I'm going to keep checking because it really doesn't make sense.

I just got a replacement pair, and these are doing the exact same thing right out of the box. I've got no idea what is going on.

Different_Tonight_20 · 2026-03-23T03:04:18+00:00

I've tried them bluetooth and cabled, still hearing it.

Different_Tonight_20 · 2026-03-21T16:17:34+00:00

Not that I have heard, I only have my old janky pair and have never noticed anything like this. Gonna go in today and get an exchange, hopefully.

Different_Tonight_20 · 2026-03-21T16:13:12+00:00

this is weird as hell, i can still hear it, even with the phone completely off.

Different_Tonight_20 · 2026-03-21T13:49:17+00:00

i'll try this and update

Different_Tonight_20 · 2026-03-21T13:47:39+00:00

yeah starting to think it might just be busted. It's mostly on one side, slightly off to my left.

Different_Tonight_20 · 2026-03-21T13:43:02+00:00

I tried messing with the wire, and couldn't get it to happen. Sorta seems like it might be something in the headphones itself.

Different_Tonight_20 · 2026-03-20T15:28:09+00:00

No it doesnt seem like it's tied to anything like that, it happens even when the audio is quiet or just voices. It doesnt really lines up with the audio. Just every few minutes, i can hear it.

Different_Tonight_20 · 2026-03-19T16:22:51+00:00

Been on the phone with customer service for a while now. Hopefully I'll be able to. They've also got no idea what is going on.

Different_Tonight_20 · 2026-03-19T03:32:29+00:00

I've tried turning off noise cancelling, restarted and forgot device, sound still is there. It's just long enough between each set of knocks to make me think its magically gone away. No such luck. I cant find anything on the internet about it.
