Extremely Loud Outgoing Call Ringtone

Hi llauren333,

Customizing your audio settings could help with this. The following article will walk you through the steps: Customize headphone audio levels on your iPhone or iPad

Set up Headphone Accommodations

1. Check that you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.

2. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Headphone Accommodations. Turn on Headphone Accommodations.

3. Choose how you want to apply your custom audio settings:

• Turn on Phone to apply these settings to phone calls, FaceTime calls, and any third-party video call apps.

• Turn on Media to apply these settings to music, movies, podcasts, audiobooks, Siri, voicemail, and Live Listen.

4. Customize your headphone audio settings:

• Use Custom Audio Setup. You’ll listen to audio samples and choose which ones sound better to you. Then you can apply the custom settings suggested based on your choices.

• Use your audiogram data.

• Manually adjust audio settings.

Best regards.

I have this problem too, but when using the normal speaker held to my ear (iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16.0.3). The only fix I've found is to switch to the speakerphone for just a second, and then turn it off. After that, the ringing sound from the earpiece goes back to a normal level, but I have to do this every time.

Anyone else seeing this?

This is happening to me as well and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I have an iPhone 13 Pro and when I call someone, people across the room can hear the ringing (while I’m waiting for my call to be answered) even though the phone is up to my ear. It’s so loud!! The volume buttons on the side of my phone don’t change the ringing volume. How do I fix this so it rings at a normal volume??

This was not helpful fix as it told me to the standard setting works. I tried as with other comments to change from AirPods to speaker/iphone and back to AirPods, the outgoing ring volume is lower and adjustable. Please fix this bug as it is damaging my hearing.

The wifi calling is an interesting callout -- unfortunately I need to use that as I have bad reception where I am, so it's not a workable solution. However, I am able to resolve the issue now by quickly switching to speaker and back to earpiece when I make an outgoing call. Not great but at least not going to lose my hearing now.

Same with me -- new iPhone 14 Pro Max. Ear-splitting volume with the outgoing ringer and you can't fix/adjust it at all.

I have the issue. Was able to resolve by turning OFF wifi calling.

I also noticed that it seems to happen only when on wifi. For me, the benefit of wifi calling outweighs the annoyance of the loud ring, so I'm going to keep it on. I still hope they fix it though.

I'm doing the switch-to-speakerphone-for-a-second thing too, but **** it's annoying.
