Google has finally rolled out an important update for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 users by integrating Noise Control into the Android 15 Volume menu. The feature rolled through as a server-side update, smoothing noise cancellation and transparency adjustment without any lags.
Android 15 Volume menu revised
Android 15 introduces the redone Volume menu, which will slide up from the bottom of the screen. It shrinks to the Media bar if audio is playing.
Until now, this panel wasn't gaining access to Pixel Buds Pro, so tapping the three dots beside the volume slider brings out "Noise Control," followed by "Spatial Audio" and "Live Caption."
Noise Control features
There are three options that Noise Control presents:
- Noise Cancellation
- Off
- Transparency
It's on Pixel Buds Pro and Pixel Buds Pro 2. It will speed up Noise Control compared to the Pixel Buds app or Pixel Battery widget.

- Head Tracking
Live Caption is a toggle that one can turn on/off, found through Settings > Sound & vibration > Live Caption.
Rollout and availability
The Noise Control update starts rolling out to the Pixel Buds Pro 2 on Android 15, and most users are still on Android 14, but this gives preparation for audio control improvement.
This Noise Control upgrade will improve the experience on Pixel Buds Pro 2 and make it effortless in noise control. It continues the enhancement of Google's products related to audio as regards boosting the satisfaction of its users.
