downloaded ringtones too quiet?

I think that the difference comes from Dynamic Range Compression in the audio tracks ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiolevelcompression). I made one ringtone out of an old classical recording, and it is way too quiet. I made another one out of a more recent rock song, and it was plenty loud.

I also think that the little built in speakers are better at playing certain frequencies than others. For example, songs with a lot of low end are going to sound very quiet because those portions are just getting left out.

Hey Guys

After downloading the tone you want or music.....In iTunes go to the phone tone or music in you Music library

Do a 'Get Info" once that is open go to "Options" and adjust the "Volume Adjustment" higher

Then sync again...it worked for me.

Thanks for the tip...I tried following your recommendations here...would make sense that it would work, but the "Volume Adjustment" on the ringtoneis greyed out...I can't slide the bar!! Any idea why?

Grrrr....I just want to be able to hear my ringtone!

I have the opposite problem, mine are way too loud and sound really distorted.

Any ideas?

Mine are way too soft as well. 😟 New york is very loud.

Not sure this will help.

Go into settings and click the sound tab. On the sound page just above the ringtone tab is a slider. This slider controls the volume of the ringtone.
