How to resolve static noise with ANC on AirPods 5?

airpods 5 static

just recieved the airpods 5, and there is a noticeable static with anc on. This is a known issue in all airpod 5s from what i see online.

question is is this a software issue apple will patch or should i return them even though every other airpod 5 has this issue?
