In iOS 17, the default notification sound was too quiet and couldn't be changed - but this has been fixed in iOS 17.2. If you too have installed iOS 17.2 and would like to increase the volume of the default notification sound, we have a guide for you in our article today.

The iOS 17 operating system brought quite a lot of customization options, but at the same time, it denied users the ability to change one important element. After its release, users soon began to complain that they could not change the default notification sound used by the operating system.

Instead of the three-tone alert, the previous default notification sound that has become synonymous with iPhone notifications, Apple changed it to a raindrop-like sound called Bounce. In addition to changing the sound to a different one, users also complained that the sound called Bounce was too quiet, which it defeats the purpose of notification sounds in the first place. Fortunately, this has changed with the arrival of iOS 17.2.
