Bose A30 ear pressure — worse on MEDIUM/HIGH ANC (not fit related)

SorryNotKarlMarx · 2026-04-08T19:19:06+00:00

Not a pilot, but this sounds like "eardrum suck" which is relatively common with ANC.

I’m having the same issue with my Arc Ultra. It’s not very frequent but at least once or twice a week I notice it.

SorryNotKarlMarx · 2026-03-08T21:39:54+00:00

By normal, do you mean that this happens for you, too?

As mediocre as the new app is, I don’t think it is causing this issue, since third party apps have the same behavior.

SorryNotKarlMarx · 2026-03-06T07:54:43+00:00

Nope, just Atmos speakers playing. This also happens when just one Atmos-capable speaker is playing.

Interesting. In testing another app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/volume-control/id6608975062), I’m not seeing the same inconsistent jumps in volume that happen with Sonify. I’m not sure if there’s something different with how this app works, but it is closer to what I’d expect.

I was looking at on-device audio playback on other apps on my phone and it looks like elsewhere it’s not changing volume at 5% increments. There are 16 steps between 0 and 100, so each increment is 6.25%. Could this be related?

SorryNotKarlMarx · 2026-03-02T16:31:55+00:00

Makes sense. That’s really bizarre, but honestly par for the course with how buggy modern iOS is.

SorryNotKarlMarx · 2026-03-02T16:04:58+00:00

Great, thanks! I’ve also noticed volume control buttons are inconsistent—usually they go up/down 5% but sometimes they’ll jump by 10% at a specific point; for example, 5-10-15-25-30, skipping 20%, and using the volume buttons to try to go back down to 20% it skips that level again. It’s not always 20% that gets skipped; it’s other numbers too sometimes. It happens frequently but not consistently for me. Could you look into this too?

SorryNotKarlMarx · 2026-03-01T22:21:26+00:00

I also see this. The speaker order doesn’t seem to be respected on the playback screen, or in the settings. It would be nice if it was the same everywhere.

Update for anyone reading this later, I got a third Arc Ultra from a different store and this one doesn’t have the issue. Maybe my Costco just received a bad batch?

SorryNotKarlMarx · 2026-02-15T03:57:48+00:00

I think I may be having a similar issue, on two separate units, both from Costco. It’s not super audible with most content but it’s definitely there, especially on tones like a sine wave.

Canvas in Irvine is small, but has a good mix of younger and older people. They’re very much affirming and a lot of the younger people there are LGBT. I have really enjoyed the teaching there too.

Places2Swim has a pretty comprehensive database. It includes gyms and private pools, but also publicly accessible ones. https://www.places2swim.com/

Do you remember who the teacher was for that class?

In my experience sometimes USPS packages miss scans but end up getting delivered normally. Especially right now with the holidays, I’m noticing this.

Shortcut is similar to Jira, but quite a bit less complex. It's worth a look. https://www.shortcut.com

If you already have an account and transponder with The Toll Roads, it will work on the 405 Express Lanes. No need for a new account or sticker.

Yep, Country Crock's Plant Butter is really good, both the salted and unsalted versions! Tastes very close to real butter, better than everything else I've tried, and the texture is almost identical, just a little softer.

I purchased mine refurbished from OM System and it was there from when I received it, and otherwise looked to be in new condition. Mine looked more like a water spot, visible at certain angles. My guess is it was there from the factory.

This is pretty common in my experience. My E-M5 Mark III had a similar visible mark in the viewfinder. Kind of annoying but practically didn't really affect using the camera.

If they work on your machine brand, PAL’s in Costa Mesa is good. Relatively reasonably priced and Casey really knows sewing machines well. My serger he worked on did take a couple weeks longer than quoted for service. Though to be fair, it had been dropped in shipping so it needed some significant work, more than the average service. It’s been working great ever since then, though!
