You're most welcome, Versteck,


We understand that you're referring to the alert tones that are sounding through your Bluetooth speakers when they're connected to your iPhone.


When you have a Bluetooth device connected to your iPhone, we would expect that the alert tones will sound through the speakers if your Ring/ Silent switch is turned off. If you have the Ring/ Silent switch on, you will hear the alerts through your iPhone and connected Bluetooth device. The iOS doesn't include a feature which would allow you to disable alerts via Bluetooth devices when they're connected to your iPhone.

Take care!

Hi Versteck,


We see you have a question about your audio while on calls. When you're on a call, you can tap the Speaker icon to change the audio output device. Here's an example below: While on a call on iPhone - Apple Support


"The Phone screen showing buttons for options while you’re on a call. In the top row from left to right are the mute, keypad, and speaker buttons. In the bottom row from left to right are the add call, FaceTime, and contacts buttons."


You could also try checking the settings below to Route and automatically answer calls on iPhone - Apple Support


"Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing, then choose an audio destination."


We hope this helps. Take care.
