Does Airpod Pro 2 do better masking out typical background noise than Airpod Pro?

My AirPod Pro amplifies typical back ground noise just as much as human voice.

Will AirPod Pro 2 do a better job masking out typical background noise?

AirPod Pro 2 Noise Cancellation Inferior to Pro 1 I just upgraded to the AirPod Pro 2 because they are supposed to have superior noise cancellation than the AirPod Pro 1. However, I hear much more street noise, wind, and conversations with v2 than with my v1. I tried all 4 earbud sizes - the medium pass the fit test but the lack luster noise cancellation persists. And yes, I do have noise cancellation enabled in settings. Toggling noise cancellation on only causes a very minor decrease in background noises. So it is doing something, but no where near the amount of noise cancellation that my AirPod Pro 1 provide. Has anyone else experienced this?

Airpod pro gen 2 tones/beeps barely heard When I put the Airpod pro gen 2 in my ears, change transparency modes, etc... the tones/beeps are barely audible. However the audio volume of media being played from my iPhone is fine. Is there some way to adjust the volume of the tones/beeps to make it more like Airpod pro gen 1 volume?

AirPod max microphone Hello I work in a noisy environment and lot of times I need to make a phone call. I use my AirPod max all day but I have to switch to my iPhone when I’m on call because when I talk with the AirPod max no one on the other line can hear me because of the background noise. Is there a way where I can hook up an external mic to the AirPod max where the lightning cable goes for better background noice reduction? I don’t want to go back to any other headphones like they have at the call centers or trucking headphones or gaming headphones because by far the AirPod max are more comfortable and better sounding headphones thank you
