My mic makes random wind sound
Ok so 2 days ago my mic was 100% fine then it just starts making loud wind ear rape like sounds and I dont know whats wrong. I cant here the sounds but my friends on teamspeak and people in-game in counter strike and overwatch can hear it. I need solutions

are you a mouth breather?
does your microphone have a noise-cancelling feature?

Maybe the Voice Sensitivity is too high? If using voice-active or always on.

Any fans in the room maybe?
PC too close and it's picking up the noise?

Sometimes just having your recording volume and any db boost too high could do it too, or at least something similar where you sound distorted, or it's so high it still picks up some background noises.

Do your own local recording tests and then play it back so you can hear it yourself.
You can also Un-Mute the Mic under Playback in Windows, so whatever is going through the Mic you can hear it live. I would use Headphones for that test, since having Speakers on would create a looping effect and most likely just a build up of noise.

From what you describe, most likely is the Mic itself or some sort of Setting.

It may also be some electrical device that is switching on and affecting the AC circuit to your computer.

I know that you said there aren't any fixes to this, but since this was 2 years ago I'm guessing there's somewhat of a solution. I use a headphone mic (Razer Nari Ultimate) and whenever I move slightly away or toward my pc, my mic makes this wind noise. I noticed whenever im close to my pc the wind noise stops and when im far away from my pc the wind noise also stops. But i cant exactly sit in a position where I'm either far away or super close to my pc. Does anyone know a fix to this wind noise?

Does your Case have a Window that faces you and your Mic?
