Applehas acknowledged that its newWatch Series 8andWatch Ultraare suffering from an issue with their microphones.

This corroborates with another Apple customer, who said: “Everything works fine if the watch is rebooted, but after an indeterminate amount of time, the microphone stops picking up any audio (and the Noise app, specifically, shows ‘measurement suspended’).”

The same user later said how deleting the Noise app – which uses the watch’s microphone to calculate how loud its environment is, then issues a warning if hearing damage may be possible – seems to have fixed the problem. They later added that deleting the Noise app “appears to delay the issue temporarily, it doesn’t resolve it entirely.”
