I’m not a massive fan of the new notification sound (Rebound). I can live with it, but I prefer the classic tri-tone. At least give me the option to change it back and adjust sounds for individual apps as some app notifications are silent even in ringer mode. Just release a software update to choose notification sounds for individual apps!

iPhone 13, iOS 17
Please change this! I use the notification for my baby monitor and I need it to wake me up in the night if she is crying in the other room. The new tone isn’t loud enough to wake me up. I suspect this is a problem for lots of parents out there who use their phone for baby monitoring. Please give us the option to change the tone.
Submit the compliant to both Apple and Nest - here are the options - Apple needs to allow us to pick our own alert tones like android does and Nest (or any company) needs to add tone selections to the apps - this is an absolute nightmare for security systems - click below to let Apple know
Hello~ Yes… we all are experiencing it. If it is an important issue to you click on below and leave your feedback there…
There are some great new things in iOS 17 …this just isn’t one of them :)

The issue isn't just new default notification sound, it's with notifications in general.
If you enable notifications for an app but do not enable visual notifications (i.e., Lock Screen or Banner), you will not receive a notification sound.

I agree this is stupid. Now you can not hear your notifications from your cameras or door locks. What’s the use of getting compatible devices! It was already bad enough that all 3rd party apps are the same sound. I’m about ready to get rid of apple products altogether.

I agree this is equivalent to not having a noise. When you hear the same noise for every app notification, you stop listening. I’m also disappointed that some of the text and ring sounds I had set for certain people are changed because that sound no longer exists. Do better Apple!
It's up to the app developer to give you the ability to use a different sound for their apps. I have a number of apps that do this. As of Monday, if you updated to iOS 17.2, you can select a different default alert tone to one that is more to your liking. iOS 17.0.1 (I think) restores the ability to use custom tones for text tones. Any custom tones you purchased or made should have reappeared. The only thing you can use are tones longer than 30 seconds.

I agree. My Nest camera alert sound is the same as all other alert sounds and after awhile you hear this same sound that you don’t even hear them any longer. I equate this to buying a new house on a busy street. At first all the traffic noise is irritating but in time you don’t even hear the traffic.
It would be up to Nest/Google to add the ability to change the tone within their app.

Sorry Apple, taking away my ability to set notification sounds of my choice is not an improvement in your product. The notification sound that your teams think is ideal is horrible, cannot be heard in many circumstances and is now just reminding me every time that I DO hear it how much I dislike it. This has now become continuous prompt to consider a new non-Apple phone. Please correct this immediately and stop taking away flexibility to set up your products to my liking.
Apple does not read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

This new sound is useless! I cannot hear it, especially if I am in a noisy place. It completely ignores all the sound choices I have set up.
Today I missed an important appointment because I didn’t hear the reminder.
This, along with breaking the Music app, has made me deeply regret upgrading!
Tell Apple:
Submit feedback to Apple everyone! Commenting here won’t do anything since the notifications are working the way they were intended according to Apple support.
Not helpful. I’m talking about notification tone, not the text tone.
Well it’s officially out, go download 17.2 and you’ll see we get to choose our notifications sound! Problem solved!
We know, the problem is that we want to change sounds for apps on an individual basis, not have a default one that covers everything. Hopefully a future software update resolves that.
This feature is horrible. I've been thinking my phone was broken since the upgrade. And it's really crummy that it can't be altered. Thanks for the links to provide feedback to Apple.
