There are a few reasons why your AirPods might not be loud anymore. Here are some of the most common causes:

- Software glitch: In rare cases, a software glitch can cause your AirPods to be quieter.
- Low battery: If your AirPods are low on battery, they may not be able to produce the same volume as when they are fully charged.
- Earwax build-up: Earwax can build up on the speaker grills of your AirPods and make them quieter.
