my iphone 17 pro max lock sound too low

even on the highest ringer setting, my iPhone 17 pro max lock sound is too low. Even the sound that comes on sending a message on whatsapp is too low.

Set sounds for notifications were also low till I could change those.

at one time me adjusting general volume also affected the lock sound.

iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26

✽ Check that the speaker is not being blocked by a speck of wax or dirt, or by a case.

Wondering if changing the sound that is set to another louder sound may help:
