Loud notifications

Hello,

I’m having a problem with notification sound after update 16.

the sounds are set to the lowest but it sounds the loudest.

sometimes also too low when you raise the sounds.

Restarted the phone, checked the settings,

nothing changed. There’s something wrong.

any one having the same problem?

Yes, same issue here (random loud notifications and the loud sound when I click the power button to turn the screen off). I updated my 13 mini to iOS 16 and that's when it started. Since, I've purchased a 14 PRO and same thing. The only way to fix it is to go to General/Sounds&Haptics and adjust the volume slider...that works for a little while at least. When I transferred my info from 13 to 14 it then prompted me to update my software due to some iMessage and FaceTime issue on iPhone 14's so now I'm on 16.0.1. That also did not solve the problem. Crazy thing is Apple Support said I'm on a public beta with that software. What? I've never used a Beta software. I had to educate them on the update for iPhone 14's. Not a great experience at this point. Thinking of resetting my 14 and doing a clean install to see if that helps (don't want to but can't take the loud random sounds).

Yes the same issue, also with the Lock Screen sound.

I contacted the apple support, finally he said you should go check your phone (what)??? this happened only after the update.

i’m using 12 pro and I don’t want to reset the phone, very large amount of date to backup and restore.


today i noticed the notification sound is back to normal. But we’ll see the next days.


so wait for a couple of days, don’t reset for now.
