My new Sony WF 1000 XM3 make a continous background white noise (a very light "sssss") while the noise cancellation processor is on and music is not playing. It can be normally heard only in a quiet room, but it is very annoying. The noise goes away when I turn noise cancellation off (ambient noise control off). Is it the same with your pair?? Shall I return them?

Yeah I recall having returned the WH for the same reason. I was using them on the train and, at every light shake caused by the movement of the train on the tracks, it was making a clicking sound. So bad!

But my pair are the in ear version WF (with F), but I believe it is similar to the on ear case. I guess Sony has a long track record for making noisy headsets...
