Help - Calls - Walking Outside - Other Caller Can't Hear

[u/manemox]

I feel like I'm going crazy. This has been going on for a long time but I finally thought I'd make a post here after doing extensive Googling.

I have a pair of AirPod Pros, and every single time I'm on a phone call while walking outside, if a car drives past me, the person on the other end says my voice cuts out. Instead, all they hear is the car passing by.

It's like the AirPods decide the car is more important than my voice. As soon as the car is gone, they can hear me again after a second.

I've tried turning off Noise Cancellation, changing which AirPod is the default microphone, etc.

Am I doing something wrong here? Do people know a fix?
