      Hi Kaayla,

      We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience you’ve had with our product. We understand how frustrating it can be when a product doesn't meet expectations. Your feedback matters to us, and we’d like to help resolve this.
      To address the issue with the background noises, you can try the following steps:

      Confirm that your headphones are running the latest firmware version. You can check this link with more information: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm5/software/00278246

      Use the Sony | Sound Connect app to adjust the noise cancelling settings. Specifically, make sure that the Ambient Sound Control is properly set or fully deactivated if necessary.

      Ensure there are no other devices causing interference with the Bluetooth signal. Moving to a different location may help identify if the issue is place-related.

      If the steps above doesn't resolve the issue, you can initialize the headphones to restore factory settings. Open this link to check the steps for this procedure:  https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541013.html

      If the problem persists after trying these steps, we recommend reaching out to our product support team via phone call at 239-245-6366 or chat through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US Hours of Operation: Monday - Friday 9:00 am - 9:00 pm ET Saturday - Sunday 10:00 am - 8:00 pm ET

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
