Loud Text Notifications

My text notifications are very loud. When I use the toggle to decrease volume it has little effect. Also with volume lowered I cannot hear the ringer for phone calls.

A work around fix is: go to Settings, select Screen Time, then Content& Privacy Restrictions, then Select Reduce Loud Sounds, & finally choose Don’t Allow. Not sure how this will affect music listening via bluetooth devices. I am open to other suggestions. This is from a you tube video. But I was not able to share the link here.

Reduce loud headphone sounds in Settings

  1. Go to Settings , then tap Sounds & Haptics (iPhone 7 and later) or Sounds (earlier models).
  2. Tap Headphone Safety.
  3. Turn on Reduce Loud Sounds, then drag the slider. iPhone analyzes your headphone audio and reduces any sound above the level you set.
