How to fix the inability to change Calendar notification sound on iPhone by resetting all settings? FIX: For users who can’t change calendar notification sound. So…. Like many; after over two years of being stuck with the inability to set/change the notification sound for Calendar events, here’s a solution that actually worked for me. Sharing in case it works for others! (Note: this step resets certain settings such as FaceID, WiFi Connection, Wallet, etc but doesn’t seem to effect anything you can’t re-setup fairly easily.) Go to Settings > General > Transfer or reset iphone. Click “Reset” That should open another list of “reset” options. Click “Reset all settings”. It’s really weird that worked for me, whereas a soft reset and hard reset didn’t. The sound which I was stuck with previously was “minuet”. I wasn’t able to delete it prior to this, but I noticed that after performing the above, it no longer exists as an option, so perhaps they realised it was buggy and removed it. I know others have the same problem but with different sounds, so I hope this works for you too. Good Luck! [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Solution

That's not much information to go on.

Go Settings > Sounds & Haptics. Is the volume turned up in Ringtones and Alerts?

If it is scroll down a bit and look at Calendar Alerts > Choose an Alert and if None is checked choose your desired alert sound.

If that doesn't help you'll need to provide more details.
