My iPhone volume is set to 'low.' However, when I receive an audio notification (in this example from Sky News), the notification volume is maximum making me jump out of skin (luckily not literally!). Why might this be? Can apps have adjustable volume controls?
iPhone SE, iOS 13
I'm suggesting as a possibility that the sound the app uses is either just louder or one that is more noticeable. If the app doesn't give you an option to change the sound, then your only other options it to turn off sounds for that app's notifications.
Apps don't have the ability to adjust their notification volume. However, if they are using their own sound, they could pick one that is louder or more noticeable than the built in one.

So do you mean that they can use their own choice of sounds and volume but I can't then adjust their chosen volume?
Volume control of app-specific notifications (Sky News in this case)
