Loud ringtone with airpods

Need some help with my ringtone. When I listen to music from Apple Music with my first gen Airpods at a reasonable volume and a call comes in, the ringtone blasts in my headset. The ringtone level on the iPhone is set to about a quarter high (so not that loud) but it seems to blast in my ear as if I turned the music volume all the way up. When the call is ended, the music resumes at the same level as it was before. The iPhone 11 Pro software is up to date but this has been going on since very beginning of me using the Airpods. Let me know if there is a known solution for this issue.

Hello sashamaloy,


If you can't find the Accessibility option for your AirPods, try the following steps to turn down the alert volume on your iPhone (this should affect the notification volume on your AirPods):


  • Go to Settings on your iPhone
  • Select "Sounds and Haptics" in the list
  • Then adjust the "Ringtone and Alert Volume"


This should work. If you continue to receive excessively loud alerts, my next suggestion would be to contact Apple Support for professional help:

I hope this helps. Have a nice day.

I hope this works for you. Have a nice day.
