Critical Alerts notification sounds with Airpods

I have noticed that the Critical Alert sounds are barely audible if they occur whilst using Airpods. I have tried to adjust the notification settings on my iPhone but cannot.

iPhone 12 iOS 14.3 with Airpods Pro

App that I am using is Medic Bleep Medical Messenger

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Hello mdouglas_medicbleep,


It sounds like notification sounds for a third-party app aren't as loud as expected when using your AirPods, is that right?


To help us get a better understanding of the issue, we’d like to ask a few questions.


  1. Does this only happen with the notifications for that specific app, or are other sounds or notifications affected as well?
  2. Does the issue only occur when using your AirPods? For example, if you use other headphones, do you experience the same behavior?
  3. If the issue happens with other headphones as well, please let us know if "Reduce Loud Sounds" is enabled in the Sounds & Haptics settings. More about that under the "Limit the headphone volume" part of this page: Adjust the volume on iPhone


Also, we noticed that you're using an older version of iOS. You may want to try updating to the latest version, which is iOS 14.4. More about updating here: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Thanks!
