Alarm clock volume lowers after playing for 3 seconds

iphone 13pro with iOS 15.4.1

I’ve missed my alarm clock multiple times because initially the alarm rings at full volume, then quiets down after 3 seconds. Why is it doing this? It’s annoying cuz I can’t hear the alarm even tho it’s a full volume.

Also when I set a timer, the volume will play at different levels. If I hold it straight up like it’s in my hand, it plays quiet. If I lay it down it rings at full volume. It also changes volume while I angle it from horizontal to vertical. Is this a feature? Does it effect the alarm clock too?

Plz help

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

What are Attention Aware features?
