iOS 13 Lock Sound Stays Louder than System Setting

The work around to play some music worked for me...well I was actually using an app that I had turned the volume up so I could hear it. That caused the issue. I opened the app and turned the volume down and the lock sound went back to normal. Odd that this is the only way to do it but it works.

Ps ..after more testing I’ve discovered that alarm and lock sound are controlled by music volume. But keyboard click sound is controlled by ringer volume.

Hey jmimac351,

Try following these steps:

1. Go into Settings > Sounds and Haptics > Turn the Lock Sound slider off.
2. Restart your iPhone. Make sure to wait 60 seconds before you press the power again to turn your iPhone back on.
3. Repeat step 1, except this time turn the Lock Sound slider on.
4. Restart your iPhone again.

If you still need help, by all means reply to this thread.

with research I found a workaround. Open and play some music. While it’s playing turn the volume down. That should do it

I called Apple. They told me that it is in the backup files and it cannot be fixed. You have to restore your phone and set up as new. Disaster...

Seems like it's going by regular volume, not ringer volume. Not sure if that is new. But the Lock Sound is way too loud in iOS 13 unless you turn the volume way, way down. Had to turn off the Lock Sound because of it.

The Fix.. Kind Of...

I have noticed my 11 Pro Max has this issue. My lock Screen was super loud and when the volume from swiping down from the corner is down all the way it’s really loud. But if you turn the volume all the way up in this menu the lock sound is super quiet. The lock sound is completely backwards from the volume level. This must be a bug in the software. Please fix Apple.

Hey man,

had the same problem. I just did a hard reset on the iPhone and it reset the sound to the same.

cheers

I can confirm that after today's update, it's fixed.

FIX: Use volume slider in the Control Center to lower down the volume. That should adjust the volume of the lock screen click.

(To open Control Center...swipe down from the top right edge)

Having exactly the same issues. Hard reset didn't work neither did turning it off and then back on again, and also turning down the volume while it plays music doesn't work as the lock screen sound only stays low until you increase the volume back again. Basically you don't need to play music for this (non)fix. The volume of the lock screen sound is unfortunately influenced/adjusted by the music volume not by the ringer volume - poor job Apple!

-- Using iPhone XS with iOS 13.2.3 --

13.4.5 always too loud the sound of the keyboard, lock and any alerts at the lowest volume level. sound cannot be made quietly for comfortable use of the smartphone in a quiet environment. from the sounds of notification and blocking, the people around me are scared, I have to use the silent mode all the time. This problem was in previous versions.

I wrote a report to the Apple. if you still have problems, notify them, otherwise they will never fix this problem.

Ultimately after much frustration I just disabled lock sounds. I am much happier now

shut off key board clicks and lock sound in settings under sounds

Same thing happened to me. I opened up Settings/sounds and I push the volume all the way up and all the way down and then it was fine but it does keep reoccurring. Sounds like a defect. The latest update 13.1.3 does not correct it
