Volume Turned Down

Hi cria56,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with Headphones Notifications. It seems that you are using a third-party Bluetooth connection for your car.

What you have described can happen with third-party Bluetooth devices. If you aren't able to turn off the feature as described: Headphone notifications on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch, then you may live in a country or region where the notifications are mandatory.

Please leave Product Feedback.

Have a fantastic day!

hi there could this be a workaround ?

1. Go to Settings -> Sounds
2. Now tab on Headphone Audio -> Headphone Safety -> Enable Headphone Notification.
3. You can select how much you can reduce sound decibales to trigger an alert.

Hi MichaelB2019,

Thank you for the response on cria56s post.

I do understand the importance on reducing dangerous levels of sound in headphones.

Unfortunately this do affect many third party devices that are not headphones. Like the car mentioned earlier on.

And personally my saunas integrated audio system.

It would be very much appreciated if there were a feature within the next update that would allow the selection of the Bluetooth sound output as an external speaker instead of headphones.

So we don’t have to step back in time before the iPhone and get separate devices for listening to music.

I sincerely hope that there will be a positive development of this issue.
