iPhone text notifications are very loud

Why should we have too.

Because that's the only option. Do it or don't do it. It doesn't matter to me.

Didn’t have to do this on all the other iPhones only the 14. It’s something wrong in the coding that needs to be fixed

It's worked this way on iPhone since the beginning.

Interesting. I do not have an Apple Watch, but this could be useful information for Apple. My reporting via IdrisSeabright's link hasn't done anything yet, but it's worth getting as many reports as possible.

No, you won't get a response from Apple. And no, there won't be an instant change just because you asked for it. But yes, if a large enough number of people make the same request, Apple may consider it.

I don't expect a response from Apple nor any change - never mind an instant one - and never have. Perhaps if a robust number of users report the issue (unlikely because I don't hear of a lot of people with the issue or I am certain this would have had to come to a resolution by now due to how negative it is), but even at that I understand there is no guarantee.

I do hold out hope that Apple may consider fixing the deafening noise that blasts unexpectedly into a very small group of their phone users' ears if enough of the customers experiencing it report the "feature" that some of us have been given.

Regardless, it's encouraging that they may consider it if a large number of people make the same request. For now I'll keep reporting and calling.

Thank you for your continued insight.

I finally took the plunge to trade in my Iphone XS Max for the 14 Pro Max. Whenever I talk on the phone and hear text messages, email messages and other apps pinging loudly in my ear, it is very distracting and loud! No other version of iphone has done this. Putting the phone on silent is not an option and definitely not a great user experience. Had I known this was an issue beforehand, I would have kept my 10 Max.

Same here this is so annoying and surely a safety hazard for peoples ears. My phone goes non stop and switching the silence button is not an option. I had an iphone 11 then 12 and this didn’t happen. Moment i got the iphone14 it started blown my ear out so annoying

This is extremely irritating. Every time I’m on a call I have to tolerate these extremely loud notification sounds. Its so stupid, they are so loud they hurt my ear. The only solution is to turn the phone on silent but then I always forget to switch it back after every call. Apple, please fix!!!

Hello im an Audio Engineer and last night I had the same issue.

I have previous ear damage and hence very sensitive hearing, my left ear is my ‘good’ ear.

I was on a call and got the usual tone BLARED into my ear drum at full volume just because i was on a call.

The fact that Apple has not fixed this immediately is extremely shocking imo. i expected way more from this company.

not sure why your “helpful” button is disabled but you are correct, their response is unhelpful

You can only give a limited number of "Helpful" votes in one thread. I believe it's two but could be three. So, if you've given other helpfuls in this thread, you may have run out.

Thanks, I am and always was a Mac user. So I decided to give iPhones a shot.

overall great device, but there are some bugs and glitches that welcome criticism such as this.

How hard can it be to have such events occurring and no warning given?

This genuinely hurt my ear and if it was a known issue, there should be a warning label on all new iPhones until they fix it.

otherwise, this is obvious negligence over what seems to be an avoidable issue.

“It's a common issue which apple is aware. One of their senior support member acknowledged over the phone. Strange that you said that Iphone 12 got affected as well as on my wife's 13, it's perfectly fine, as it was for the last 10 generations of iphone.”

How is it strange, exactly?

I have the same issue with my iPhone 12 and it didn’t start until after one of the updates.

Explain to me how saying this is strange.

You know what? Don’t bother. I’m not interested.

It’s extremely painful getting a loud notification right in your ear when speaking on the phone. This wasn’t an issue on my iPhone 13, but ever since I got the 14 I’ve been blasted by notifications. It’s like Apple thinks clanging a loud triangle right in people’s ears is funny. I wish I hadn’t “upgraded” to the 14

I called Apple, the lady had me reset everything. It didn’t fix anything, I still get deafened by notifications when talking on the phone, and now I have to re-enter/reset all my passwords. I’m ready to trade in this phone for a Samsung
