The real problem is when you have a mag safe charger and you connect the iPhone, it plays a really loud sound that you cannot change.

Shit, thought that was just me going deaf in my old age when I picked my phone up and had notifications I hadn’t heard.

They changed the Timer and it's annoying.

They got rid of the time when the timer will ring.

Like if I set it to 2 hours and 15 mins, it'll show something like this timer will ring at 9:00 AM. It doesn't do that now.

Now if I put 2 hrs, it says it'll ring 2 hrs from now in the preview... No really?

Again, I just don’t understand why Apple always feels needs to break something that wasn’t broken

So I can’t even set my notification iPhone sound on Twitter (X) now? The new sounds sucks and it’s unchangeable? How fucking stupid!

The only sound my phone ever makes is for alarms

I suspect my opinion is gonna be unpopular amongst you's but i actually love the new sounds and ringtones in iOS 17.

These sites will literally find the silliest shit to complain about.

Why don’t companies just make these things optional, I don’t understand forcing random changes on the user base.

For how good the hardware is they sure suck at software.

I don’t get it. Why is no one addressing the fact that this article is 2 months old? Wasn’t the quieter sound fixed in 17.1?

Get an Apple Watch.

Obviously a bit tongue in cheek as not everyone can afford it, but my phone hasn't made a sound for 7 years and I love it so much.

Also, my colleagues phone blares out We are the Champions EVERU FUCKING TIME it rings and it fucks me off no end, so I think alerts can be selfish AF (whilst I appreciate that people are more concerned re dings than ring tones here)

Why do only certain apps have customs notification sounds? I would have thought most apps would want a custom sound to stand out from each other, but it seems like only the more popular apps like Snapchat have them. Is it a feature only offered to bigger developers or something?

I’d just be happy if they could fix it so my apps couldn’t turn up my volume by themselves.

I get notifications on my Garmin smartwatch so I’ve never had to hear notification sounds, my phones always on silent. How much quieter to be exact?

I prefer it tbh

It should sound the same on my phone. Mine hasn’t made a notification sound since I got it, as the mute button is permanently set.

Before they removed them, I was already surprised at how quiet they are. So easy to not hear

Yeah I don’t like the new sounds in general. They sound dated and too quiet.

They changed the vibration too. That weird vibration that felt like a broken toy spring.

But at least you can change that. It was just annoying.

I feel like it’s been quiet for a while. When I got my 13 Pro Max two years ago it’s the first thing I noticed compared to my 6s Plus.

Who want's to lay bets they're trying to funnel some more people in to Apple Watch?

In 2023, it seems odd that we can personalize widgets, wallpapers, and lockscreens, yet changing the default notification sound remains not possible. It's even more puzzling that you can customize notification sounds for default apps like reminders and messages. I mean I don’t wanna come off as an Android kid here, but Apple, really?

I hate it. I miss important notifications because it weirdly turns off notifications for an app if I’m not tapping on it. One example is LinkedIn, I click maybe out of ten recruiter messages and Apple thinks I’m not interested. So they completely muted the notification for me. I now have to check the app regularly because of this.

Y'all keep sound on? Lol

I have no problem hearing the new sound. I think it’s a much bigger deal that you can no longer choose ringtones for alert sounds or alert sounds for ringtones.

Who keeps their ringer on?

I have to assume 9to5mac pays its writers by the word.

What’s a notification sound ? I’m always on silent and my watch too But what I noticed is that the iPhone vibration is much more powerful :o

It goes brrrrrrr very hard on the table 😱

The vibration is quieter, too. You can't hear if your phone is being called when on Do Not Disturb unless you have an Apple Watch.

I have no problem with it cuz i always keep it on silent mode 😂

Why does it sound like the discord one

I'm just pissed that since updating to 17 the Ringtones alerts etc. all start at the Volume you decided (lets say 100%) and after 2-3 seconds it goes down to like 20-30%.

It’s so annoying. I wish you could change the default notification to anything.

Hate the new notification sound. I wish we had more control over it.

That's the one thing Apple still struggles with in iOS, is customization of the small things like notification sounds, they'll make random changes on their end, but nothing that the users can accept or even revert back on.

Make it a Bit quieter and the world can breath again. I love this move! Removing mass annoyance <3

The new Find My sound is way too low, too.

My iPhone 11 has been on silent since I got it out of the box

It bothers me more that the sound is now a disconnect or hang up sound. It annoys the crap out of me.

Is it me or did the haptic feedback change too?

It essentially render both my medication reminder and my security camera notifications inaudible. It's just a bad decision.

How did apple innovation produce a sound quieter than silence?
