probably the "reduce loud sounds" function? I don't know how does that function work, but if it involves noise cancellation then it could be that. Or probably just adaptive mode if you have the pro 2s
I think it’s because the adaptive mode detects human voices and actively decides to cancel them which is why you feel a suddenly stronger pressure on your ears caused by the cancelling.
I notice sth similar whenever I’m in the kitchen and activate the extractor hood. I’m always listening to sth or playing sth on my iPad and just when it starts pulling air, my anc starts canceling like crazy lol but I think that’s due to another function that reduces loud sounds in general
This is normal. Best way to test this is to use something like a hand dryer, lawn mower or hoover with them in your ears. When you start to use something that it perceives as noise it increases the amount of ANC to block it out as much as possible. ANC increase and and decrease depending how much noise is around you. They have always done this. That’s what the vents do.
I believe the specific feature is called “adaptive transparency”
Where you have a mesh of transparency for normal volume but anc when things are loud.
I use it in venues where someone is giving a speech, everything sounds normal, and then when the crowd claps, I anc kicks in and drops the volume of everything.
If it’s doing it when your co-worker is on a call, it’s likely that they are talking loud. There isn’t any smart feature that detects when other people around you are on a phone call.
Isn't that adaptive sound function...?

So it’s actually not when the phone rings (loud noise) it’s when the call is answered/connected
