My #AppleWatch sometimes triggers a loud environment warning when I’m in the shower. That happen to anyone else?

Series 7, had it for just over a year. Hasn’t always done this, seems to have started ~ 2 months ago.

@chartier my wife recently found that the alert threshold for her was down to 80dB, whereas it was 90dB for the rest of us. Maybe your threshold has gone done with an iOS update?

@mo Good idea. Still 90 for me. Sounds like this is a somewhat common problem when the mic gets covered by water. The expunge feature might help.

@chartier ah, that might explain why I get the notification when I’m splashing in waves 🙂

My biggest gripe with the noise notifications is that I get them even when I’m wearing my AirPods Max in noise cancelling mode. I use them as ear defenders while mowing the lawn and it would be nice if the watch can say “hey, he’s wearing noise cancelling headphones, he doesn’t need a warning”.

@mo Yeah good point. Sounds like something they maybe haven’t accounted for.
