Automatic noise and sound options

Although you can manually enable your Galaxy Buds3 Pro’s sound options, your buds can automatically use noise and sound options during certain circumstances. For instance, Ambient sound can turn on when emergency sirens are detected, and Active noise canceling can turn on when other loud noises are detected, such as construction.

Enhanced voice detection can increase the Ambient sound level when a conversation begins, and then increase Active noise canceling when the conversation ends. This will help you hear clearly during in-person conversations and phone calls.

To make sure these automatic options are turned on, open the Galaxy Wearable app, and then tap Auto switch to ambient sound. Tap the switches next to the following options:
