iOS17 Notification
Is anyone else having issues with the new default notification sound being too quiet? The rebound sound just isn’t alerting enough. Is there any way to change this at all?

Hi elliuminati,
For help with notification sounds, if your device uses Face ID check your attention aware settings with the steps below found in the article here: Turn Attention Aware features on or off on your iPhone or iPad Pro
"What are Attention Aware features?
Even if you don’t enroll in Face ID, the TrueDepth camera* intelligently activates to support Attention Aware features. With Attention Aware features, iPhone can check whether you’re paying attention to your device and automatically take action. For example,
- When you’re looking at your device, your display will not dim until you stop looking at your device.
- If you're looking at your device, it will lower the volume sound of your alerts.
If you don’t want to use these features, open the Settings app, tap Face ID & Passcode, then turn off Attention Aware Features."
You can also double check your notification sound settings with the guide here: Change iPhone sounds and vibrations - Apple Support
