my alarm goes loud for like 1 second then goes very quiet for the rest of the time, does anyone know why?

Hello _blake69,

We see you have a question regarding the alarm volume becoming quiet on your iPhone, and we'd like to see if we can assist.

If you're using an iPhone X or later, this may be due to Attention Aware features. Learn more here: About Attention Aware features on your iPhone X or iPad Pro

Specifically, you'll want to note the bullet point below:

• "If you're looking at your device, it will lower the volume sound of your alerts."

We hope this helps!
