How do I turn phone dial pad sounds off?

One solution that was provided by an Apple tech in a post on another website was to do a soft reset by pushing the power butter and the main button on the front at the same time until the Apple logo appeared. I tried this and the dial tone volume was lowered to the same level as on my wife's phone. (copied from another reply, but helped me.)

They were probably thinking that a nice easy to find switch would be easier than digging through settings on those rare occasions that this was necessary. But I'm just guessing.

Submit your feedback to Apple requesting something different here:

Did you submit feedback?

I found this discussion by searching the web. My wife and I have identical iPhone 5 phones. The volume of the dial tones on her phone when entering a phone number is much lower than on mine. After searching the web, this appears to be a generally recognized problem. None of the settings appear to affect the volume of the dial tones. and the only solution is to entirely mute the phone with the side switch, a very unsatisfactory answer. I am surprised that Apple or a third-party developer has not addressed this.

Thank you so much! My i5 was never loud when dialing but one day it just started dialing really loud very weird but your advice in doing the soft reset fixed my problem even with the ringer turned way up the dial tone is not loud. Thank you so much it was so embarrassing trying to call home from inside a store!

I had the exact problem today. My phone dial pad suddenly started making loud obnoxious tone when dialing a number. After looking to see if I could adjust tone and couldn't find a setting for that, I simply rebooted my phone which solved the problem. I've learned to always reboot my phone when I cannot find a quick solution to my problem.

HI

Guess I am a year late in replying but it might help a poor soul later 🙂

Anyways I had the same problem today with my 5S. I cant find a permanent fix, but what worked for me is:

Open any game(which has sound effects)->Press volume down key. This will show 'Volume' being decreased. Whatever volume you set it to, now will be the volume for your keypad tones as well as games.

Hope this helps.

Settings/Sounds/Keyboard Clicks (on the bottom) to OFF.

Ah...that setting has absolutely nothing to do with dial pad tones, which is the OP's question, & if you read the last sentence of the OP's post, you'll see that he/she knows that.

Flip the Ring/Silent switch.

Again I stand corrected w, thanks, I read too fast.😊

Is that the physical switch on the side?

Yes.
