In this guide, we will show you the steps to disable the background noise filtering in the microphone of Pixel 7 Pro. The seventh iteration of Pixel is a vast improvement over its predecessor, with the second generation Tensor chipset playing a major role in the same. However, in spite of all the goodies that it has to offer, it still faces a few hiccups as well.
While we have already covered most of the major ones, there’s a minor issue that is bugging a small subset of users. Many of them have voiced their concern that the microphone of their Pixel 7 Pro tends to filter out the background noise. As a result of which, they are unable to hear the voices of their children while on a call, whether a normal one or via a third-party app.
As a result of which, users [especially children] are left with no choice but to talk with a deeper high pitched voice. If you are also on the same page, then this guide will make you aware of a nifty workaround that should help you rectify this issue. So without further ado, let’s check it out.
Pixel 7 Pro: Disable Background Noise Filtering in Microphone
In order to rectify this issue, you will have to disable the Clear Calling feature on your Pixel 7 Pro. Here’s how it could be done:
- Head over to Settings > Sound & vibration > Clear Calling.
- Then disable the toggle next to Use Clear Calling.
That’s it. This should disable the background noise filtering in the microphone of Pixel 7 Pro and hence resolve the underlying issue. As far as the official stance on this matter is concerned, the developers are yet to acknowledge this issue, let alone give out any ETA for the rollout of a fix. As and when any of these two things happen, we will update this guide accordingly. In the meantime, the aforementioned workaround is your best bet.

Hi, this fix isn’t working for me. I have the issue with my 3 and 5 year old daughter, but this function wasn’t on. Google is denying that this issue has been brought to their attention and has even replaced my 7 pro and will take back the replacement as the same issue persists. I love the phone for all.other features, but it’s simple call function doesn’t work. I’m so upset?!
