iOS 17 finally provided some new text/notification tones that were long overdue. I like a lot of them but they seem to be very quiet. I have the ringer volume set to max but can barely hear it when I get a text or email. I also use a Blink camera system for my home and even the default sound for motion detection can barely be heard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Using an iPhone 12 on iOS 17.

iPhone 6, iOS 12
For people who struggle with this issue and haven't found a solution, this worked for me :
in Setting->Accessibility->Audio & Visual there is a slider called 'Balance'. My friend had probably attempted to turn up her volume by putting this slider all the way to the right, thinking it was a volume slider. When I put it back in the middle where it belongs, her ringtone went back to normal volume.
Thanks but don’t have an Apple Watch, & I don’t want one. I simply want my text tones (especially custom ones), to be able to sound loud again, I know there’s a genius out there somewhere that has figured out this glitch, grateful for any help
I see I am not the only one going through this problem with iOS 17 update on volume being TOO low on texts/ring tones. I am hearing impaired so these tones are useless. Even the classic sounds are way to low. Apple, you need to fix this ASAP, please! Need tones and volume that can be HEARD! Missing texts and calls because I can't hear them now even with volume on high.
Frustrated!!!
Sorry, I’m well aware of the regular ways to change volume. With everything set to maximum the new tones are very quiet.
I’m having the same issue. Did you find anything out? Thank you in advance:)
Still haven’t found a solution. I’m back to using the old tones which I am very sick of.
Same and it’s super annoying
Exactly the same issue as you’ve all mentioned.
They are way too quiet.
hopefully it will be fixed in a new update ?
My problem was with the custom tones also. I hope you find a solution.
Thanks this worked for me 👍🏻.
I found the solution on another thread. You have to turn 2 settings off in Attention Aware:
This has fixed it for me. It doesn’t make much sense but it worked.
