iPhone text notifications are very loud

I have IPhone 14 pro max. When I'm on a phone call if I receive a text, the sound will be so loud on the speaker that's on my ear while on a phone call.

This never happened on my older Iphone's as they will only vibrate if I'm on the call.

I called apple support and lady couldn't find any setting that would put text and other notification on silent or lower the volume while on the phone call.

Is there a solution or should I return this phone to Apple since every other phone in this universe doesn't make you deaf by loud text tones while your phone is on your ear during a call.

is there an update for this or how to fix the issue? when i use my airpods the sound blows out my ear drum and I literally can't hear anything out of my one ear because the notification sound is so loud. I have gotten in to the habit of putting it on silent when on calls but that is ridiculous that I have to that with a brand new iphone. Sometimes I forget and now I can't hear out of one ear.

I silenced ALL notifications while on a call.

  1. Create a new Focus <Custom>
  2. Name it, etc. I named mine "Notifications Off with Calls'
  3. Select 'Customize Focus'
  4. Under SILENCE NOTIFICATIONS <People>
  5. Select 'Allow Notifications From': Verify/ set nobody is selected
  6. Click Next
  7. On Choose Calls to Allow select 'Allowed People Only'
  8. Click 'Done'
  9. Verify 'None allowed' is displayed under 'People'
  10. Click on 'Apps'
  11. On 'Allow Notifications From' Verify/ set only the Phone App is selected
  12. Click 'Done'
  13. Under 'Set a Schedule' select 'Add Schedule'
  14. Select 'App'
  15. Select 'Phone'
  16. Verify 'While using phone' is displayed below phone
  17. Back out and you should be all set.
