FaceTime outgoing call sound

You can't change it. Submit your feedback to Apple here:

P.S. If you go to Settings > Sounds and turn on the “Change with Buttons” switch, you can then raise or lower the volume of the (horrible) outgoing ringtone the next time it’s sounding.

They changed it.

I don’t find the outgoing call tone as irritating as you but I would welcome the option to either mute it or set no outgoing tone. Who thinks I want to alert anyone around that I’m trying to make a FaceTime call? It’s all about choice and individual preferences and not being as dismissive of others as sberman seems to be.

Hi all. I just want to let WillowRS know that they are not alone. I find the sound of facetimes outgoing call SUPER ear piercing. If anyone from Apple ever reads this please look into having it changed to something that would be more suitable for all people. Or perhaps even customizable. Just some friendly feedback.

Are we able to change the outgoing facetime ringtone ourselves, to something that is suitable for us? The new one with the ios11 update is the most annoying thing ever! Just let us choose for on our own.

Well, as you know, with iOS 11 the outgoing ringtone has changed from a bell-like, ringer-like tone to a barely audible jungle drum sound. How do we change it back? Keep in mind that the only option under Settings > Sounds is for changing the incoming ringtone. Thanks! :)

I don't have an answer but would like to add my voice to the others requesting that we be able to customise the outgoing ringtone. If we can customise most other sounds, why should this be so difficult for Apple to sort out? It sounds like a (not-so-musical) machine-gun-fire staccato sound to me and makes me shudder every time I make a call.

Can I say I really agree that the outgoing FaceTime sound is absolutely ear-splitting to me. As an autistic woman even more so. Please please please fix this it hurts me to call people and FaceTime is the only way to contact my friend because the new update ruined our connectivity. This update has already ****** me off. PLEASE fix this before I hate iPhones entirely.

I find the recent outgoing ringtone quite irritating as well. Everyone I talk to about this shares my opponinion, so how come sn oddity like this comes along, and how come it’s not fixed and replaced by some pleasant sounds?

I know, it sounds awful on the iPad air 2... I want to choose how my outgoing ft call sounds.... Right now it's annoying. It sounds like a ball bouncing really fast on the lid of a plastic Tupperware! 😲

How is quoting rules back helpful or constructive?

The post can easily be interpreted as "Is there any way to change the incredibly annoying ringtone for Facetime outgoing calls?" or maybe "I hereby formally request Apple add a feature to allow the user to set the sound for the Facetime outgoing call, just like most of the other iOS sounds."

Do you have an answer to the technical question (admittedly asked obliquely) of how to change the outgoing Facetime ringtone/sound?

The outgoing sound on our IPads for FaceTime are not piercing.....we can barely hear it and the volume is turned up as high as it will go. Don't even sound like a ring to me. Don't know why they won't let us put our own sound on just like all the other apps. Guess it is called control. :-(

Thanks. In all the hoopla, you are the first person to clearly state this as a technical fact.

Unfortunately, Apple's feedback submission site is dead. The servers were overloaded earlier. I will try again later.
