iPhone 12 Pro Keyboard sounds, notifications and lock sounds volume low

Anyone else having issues with volume of notifications, keyboard sounds and even the lock sound being barely audible? The only thing I haven't done is reset the phone. I set it up from an iCloud backup and I didn't have this issue on my XS. If I restart the phone, it goes to normal volume for a moment then back to being quiet again. Sometimes I am not getting notification sounds at all.

Happps, and everyone else please try this fix. I just purchased the iPhone 12 Mini and was having this exact issue that Happps is having and going into Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > and DISABLING "Phone Noise Cancellation" This fixed my issue with the sound. Hopefully this works for everyone else. This is definitely a bug with noise cancellation.

Please, PLEASE, take the phone into the apple store with this discussions page pulled up and show it to them!! Let them know this isnt a "per device" thing its within the os! I dont think anyone at apple even read this form when i sent it to them. I think they just acted like they did and still wanted me to reset my phone again.


The only way thisll get fixed is if enough people show them this article letting them know its not a hardware oer device problem its a bug within the os that no one wants to believe us about

I just bought an Iphone 12 Pro and I encounter the same issue. I tried restarting and resetting the phone but with no success. I also tried the fix with EQ in Late Night and the issue is still there even though after typing several words the keyboard clicks sound is much louder now.

I really like the phone but this issue is frustrating and it might force me to send the phone back to apple and ask for a refund.

It was not fix on iOS 14.3. It seems nobody is talking about this issues. I check tech you tubers and nobody reporting any sounds issues. I think many people are just using Apple Watch and AirPods inside the house which will explain why nobody is complaining. I started doing the same for past week and forgot about the sound issue until you posted here. I never had this issue on previous iPhones.
