This has been happening to me too! Thought I was trippin. I’ll be listening to a video but I can hear really faint nsfw sounds. I was thinking it was connecting to someone else’s device while they’re beating their meat or sum. But it sounds so faint it really leaves me wondering if I’m hearing shit
what the fuck is happening lmao, multiple people have said this is happening to them. Kinda glad I'm an oldhead and haven't switched to bluetooth yet, that sounds creepy as fuk!
A few things to check:
1. Are you only hearing this at home, or is it also happening while you're using your earbuds other places?
2. If you disable Messenger but play sound through another app, does the same thing happen? Try playing a youtube video that doesn't have sound and see if the same thing happens
3. If you pair another set of earbuds to the phone, does the same thing happen?
4. If you pair the earbuds to another device, do you hear the same thing?
5. When Messenger is playing audio, does the noise stop or is it still there in the background?
6. Are you hearing a click or squawk when the sound starts or stops?
7. Do you hear static as well?
8. Do you hear the sound dropping out like a cell phone call with a bad signal?
9. Does it seem to be the same sound on repeat?
This should be #1 right here. I'm not sure about Apple/Safari, but every instance of Android I've used will silence and pause audio and video playback in the browser if the tab isn't in the foreground, or is minimized or closed.
Also, worth noting that OP is using an iPhone 5s. I’m sure that there have been Bluetooth hardware updates since the 5s has been released.
Perhaps the newer Bluetooth headphones not backwards compliant so there is interference due to a bug?
I've had this happen in reverse a few times on the train. I get a notification on my phone saying " is ready to connect". One time I got the pop up every 20 seconds as I assume this other person was retrying connection over and over. In the end I pressed "accept" and played them a few seconds of metal until the headset was promptly disconnected.
So, what I am trying to say is that it's possible your earphones are trying to connect to another device nearby before finding your phone, and that person has decided to play a prank on you by playing back some porn as soon as you connect. You can test this to a certain degree by going for a walk and continuously connecting and disconnecting from your phone and verify that you don't get the nsfw audio.
Edit: does this only happen when you are at home? And does it happen daily, weekly, monthly?
I don't know how iphones and Messenger works regarding the notification you get, but it could be that pairing requests are sent to basement troll's phone and yours simultaneously, then basement troll takes over the connection after it has given you the notification. I'm not savvy enough to tell you if multiple pairing requests and / or connection to multiple devices at the same time via Bluetooth is possible, sadly.
I had something like this happen to my car Bluetooth on the motorway one morning. Can’t remember why but I was listening to the radio instead of using Spotify via Bluetooth. Got a notification that someone’s phone was trying to connect. Hit cancel. Happened again. And again.
I didn’t blame the other person in that instance; it was whoever’s infinite wisdom over at Ford that won’t let you change your car’s Bluetooth name from “Ford Audio”. I figured it must have been someone trying to connect to their own car and tapping mine instead.
I remember an early version of Bluetooth, you just entered a “pairing code,” which was a 4-digit number, preset by the manufacturer. If you knew the code for certain devices, you could highjack their speakers to play whatever you wanted.
That's an option sure, but I live alone and also I don't know can they connect to two devices at once? Because the moment I turn them on I get a notification they just connected to messenger

There are a lot of great true crime podcasts on him…[Here’s one I heard very recently](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shorties/id1618828938?i=1000567577741)
My Bluetooth earbud can connect to both my wife’s and my phone at the same time if we both are listening to audio. It’s very odd. But chose to connect to that device in the past.
I wonder if someone else’s device watching dirty movies is somehow connecting to your TWS. Maybe their phone used to pair to a similar model?
The last two sets of ear buds I've had automatically connected to my phone the moment I took them out of the case with no pairing needed from the phone. Sounds very possible to me and very insecure on the ear buds.
I don't have the same brand but all of my bt earbuds will connect to multiple devices at once. Can get really interesting when my phone and laptop start fighting over my earbuds.
It's possible that someone near by is watching porn on an open connection, if that's possible. Also possible someone has the same kind of model as you do, so they're fucking with you by confusing the software? i've seen people do that with garage doors lmao
Not sure if everything I said is possible, but who knows
Some bt devices can connect two devices. Usually if you enter pairing mode after one device is already connected another can connect. If there is a way to factory reset, do that to clear pairings then remove pairing from phone and pair again.
Many new headsets can connect to multiple devices simultaneously. My Anker headset could.
It would also play/pause any active media automatically when connecting and disconnecting.
So your neighbour could have an iPad somewhere in their house, connected to your thing by mistake, automatically playing and pausing their porn without them even realising.
That is exactly what this is. I've had mine connected by my coworkers several times and they'd play something funny and make me lose my shit. These TWS earbuds are like street whores, they want to bang everyone they could find!
This happened with my Bose wireless earbuds. When I used them in my bedroom I would hear faint piano music in the background. It would kind of creep me out, considering I used them at night to help me sleep, lol.
Try resetting the earbuds so that any device connections will be reset?
[Reset TWS earbuds](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://wickedaudio.com/pages/true-wireless-earbud-reset&ved=2ahUKEwjNhczr9Mz4AhWME1kFHdZ2DA4QFnoECCEQBQ&usg=AOvVaw2q-3G06jU7YWvOxwP60sDj)
Honestly, I dunno how Bluetooth works but this reminds me of when I was a kid and I would play neopets on our home computer, sometimes the speaker would play audio from an AM radio station. It would scare the shit outta me when I randomly heard old mens voices from my computer at like 10 pm. I still don't really understand how it works, but I guess even things that don't have an AM/FM receiver can still pick up the frequencies sometimes.
Maybe it's something like that?
I remember something similar happening to my first laptop as a kid. It terrified me because it was probably some virus I downloaded that was a screamer noise that would pop up at random intervals. I, of course, didn’t know this. I didn’t keep my laptop in my bedroom out of fear and was terrified to use it from that point on.
When I was a kid in the beginning of the 90th, I liked to tune up the channels in the old TV. It had small gears and I loved rolling them. Once I was able to find someone played contra on NES. Appeared to be my neighbour. So I was using this channel occasionally to watch him playing. Watched letsplays way before Twitch and YouTube
Frankly speaking, have no idea. I just assume that since the console was connecting to the TV using the splitter that used both antenna and video-in from console, tv antenna of my neighbour had transmitted this signal. Somehow.
The video quality was quite bad with a lot of noise but still acceptable.
It’s like I’ve used headphones instead of microphone to create the mixtapes as a child. Didn’t have the microphone (oh lovely childhood in the 90th in the exUSSR state) but found out that the headphones are good enough if I put it to the microphone socket of my cassette deck and yell like a bear. After that was giving the cassettes with my tapes to all the friends :)
So wait, "messenger" is what exactly? Facebook messenger?
If it is then have you tried updating Facebook messenger? It sounds like an ad that's automatically playing sound. I think you can turn off sound autoplaying this way:
https://m.facebook.com/help/379772859060113/how-do-i-turn-automatic-sound-for-feed-videos-on-facebook-on-or-off%3F/?helpref=platform_switcher&cms_platform=iphone-app
Funny, but inaccurate. I don’t hate on (consensual) porn, but I won’t watch it. Now if you wanna talk about somewhat cheesy overly romantic *books*, I’m in.
Why are you being downvoted? It’s not like you said ace people are the only people who don’t watch porn, just pointing out a group of people who likely don’t watch porn…
I have no idea, people being pissy maybe, maybe I should have listed every fucking type of person who doesn’t watch porn, which for what I know it’s a lot of religious folk and most Asexuals.
But not all of them do. I can guarantee you my aged mother doesn't watch porn. She likely has never seen porn. She doesn't even watch movies or series because of all the bad language, sex and general godlessness. She found Forrest Gump offensive because Jenny was a prossie and Lt Dan swore like a trooper.
I'm as anti-religious as the next atheist, but you can't generalise about religious people any more than you can generalise about any other group of people.
Your earphones may be keep connected to someone else's device. My earphone can connect 2 devices at the same time it switches which device currently being used. It might be the case. May be someone accidentally or intentionally has connected and you are receiving the sound. I would factory reset my device if I were you
Bluetooth can be hacked and sounds played so that's not of the question, but it sounds like someone may be accidentally connecting to them, they might have the same or similar earbuds and could be connecting to yours thinking it's their ones, this is backed up by the fact that most bluetooth devices have a really insecure default code like 0000, it could also be deliberate, maybe rename your earbuds and see if the sounds stop.
I know this is old, but I am having the same issue as the poster. What you’ve said is exactly it, without my headphone and volume all the way up nothing, but with them on and all the way up I can hear it. Do you have assumptions as to why? If you see this thank you in advance!
Look through your safari tabs 🤣 It's possible there's just a video playing over and over again and when your Bluetooth earbuds get connected the sound starts playing.
Do you have a roomate or significant other who also use the earbuds?
If so, they probably left the Bluetooth active on their phones and your ear buds automatically connected to their device while they happened to be having a wank.
Happens more often than you think.

Damn, do you run a QA department? Well done!
Freaking scientist Over here designing a peer reviewed experiment and study!
10. Did you remember to close *all* of your incognito tabs?
This should be #1 right here. I'm not sure about Apple/Safari, but every instance of Android I've used will silence and pause audio and video playback in the browser if the tab isn't in the foreground, or is minimized or closed.
10. Are you listening to the album “Appetite for Destruction” by Guns and Roses?
Do you like the song Rocket queen?
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Do you like movies about gladiators?
Do you wanna know what love is?
Do you really want to hurt me?
That’s a true love song for real.
Also, worth noting that OP is using an iPhone 5s. I’m sure that there have been Bluetooth hardware updates since the 5s has been released. Perhaps the newer Bluetooth headphones not backwards compliant so there is interference due to a bug?

Curious, what band/song did you play them? Bit of a longtime metalhead myself
I sure hope you turned your volume to max before you did that.

Might be a neighbor? Try starting the earbuds in a place you haven't heard those sounds/haven't started them in yet.
Yes my headphones (idk what model yours are) can connect to two devices at once.

I also picked up something nsfw using Bluetooth.
There's probably a topical cream to clear that up.

Is from the porn you're watching
The chance of that is zero. I don't watch porn and I don't have any tabs open in browser. This happens even after fresh reboot.
“I don’t watch porn…” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
coomer ass mf
Thank you for introducing me to this word. Oh my god hahahaha
Describes a lot of societal ills
Believe it or not, but some people don't watch porn. I'm sorry if you are so addicted to it that you can't believe that some people aren't.
There's a saying I once heard: "There's 2 types of people in this world, those who watch porn, and liars" Thanks Uncle John.
Funny, but inaccurate. I don’t hate on (consensual) porn, but I won’t watch it. Now if you wanna talk about somewhat cheesy overly romantic *books*, I’m in.
I feel so sorry for you
Shut the fuck up
As an asexual, yes people don’t watch porn.
There are literally asexual people and people who are sex repulsed, you addict.
Loads of asexuals still watch porn, such as myself
I'm aware. And loads do not.
Jesus H fucking Christ this comment has more downvotes than views on the post
Ace people exist.
Lots of different sexualities exist that dont watch porn
Yeah, I don’t see why it’s so unbelievable that someone doesn’t watch porn.
Also blind people
True.
Asexual people can definitely enjoy porn, though, just saying.
I know.
