Timer App Alarm sound too low

I am on a iPhone 12 max pro, using iOS16.5. For the last several OSs, I find the sound for timer alarms is very low, almost silent. I have checked ringtone and alert volume in settings, not the issue. Other sounds are perfectly fine, including time-based alarms, caller ringtones, etc. I have tried restarting, and updating. No changes.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi Patrick Judge1

Thank you for posting your experience in the Community.


Seems you have the latest software, and have tried the available trouble-shooting tips with no success.


If you haven't experimented with it already, you could try changing the sound that plays when the timer ends:

Use the timer or stopwatch on iPad - Apple Support


Eg says: In the Clock app: "Set the timer

  1. Tap Timer.
  2. Set the duration of time and a sound to play when the timer ends".


Else

You might want to try contacting Apple Support (online chat, phone, eMail etc): about this issue :

Contact - Official Apple Support


and / or

You might want to send feedback to reach those who work behind-the-scenes at Apple.

They will likely not reply, yet your feedback will reach those who can make changes.

If others are also experiencing the same issue, we may see the issue addressed in a future update.
