iOS 17 - default notification tone

I hate this, but the way I fixed it was shortened a song on my MacBook and made sure i could see it in my Music. Then configure an automation on the iPhone (Shortcuts>Automation) that would set a tone when a certain person texted me - you can also do for specific works as well. I had it set to run automatically, and then tested it out.

I really don't like this change, and because i only had 1 different tone needed for a single person the automation worked. If it was for everyone/Everything - it would totally be a different experience.

It's not a great solution, but it at least works in the short term.

Please allow this to be changed. I only have 25% hearing in my left ear and I am unable to hear the new notification sound, especially if my phone is to my left. It's still hard to hear even if it is in a different location. I have missed numerous notifications. Is there a way I can revert to iOS16 until this is fixed?

It's not that difficult to just go into your text tones, scroll to classic and then re-seelct tri-tone...

Update last night 17.1 and no mention of it, pathetic bring back tri tone, or option to use whatever sounds, why did they change this in the first place? 😡😡

100% This all the way. The sound is of a low frequency, and it's much more difficult to hear than Tri-Tone, weather it's technically the same volume or not, we must be able to change it to a custom sound , or at the very least have the option of re-enabling Tri-Tone vs rebound.

I am going to be a +1 for letting us choose what tone our device uses. Please allow us to make the change.

The worst update by Apple please fix it as soon as possible every time you get a notification from any app you feel like your call just dropped please fix it. it's so annoying.

Unable to hear it and to make it worse the tone sounds like when you drop a call

Please give us the old notification note and vibration. I am loosing a lot of notifications. Ios 17 Worst upgrade at all

already regret installing IOS17 just because of of this issue. Thanks Apple!

Absolutely HATE this change! Elder millennial who needs to actually hear when a notification comes through and it's crazy that this can't be customized like all the other sounds. Definitely needs to be fixed!

We were using tri-tone for important alerts. Now rebound volume is very weak (too quite) , not usfull, @ Apple kindly let us change it.

For the love of God, Apple, please let me change the "Rebound" sound of notifications to one that I can hear. I'm missing important notifications when my iPhone is in my pocket.

This unilateral decision is shameful! How can you, from your ivory tower, force all your customers all over the world to accept this fck... notification? At least give us the chance to change it, it's the least we can expect from a phone costing over $1000!

I don't even understand the rational behind this change. Apple, change it back or you're losing a customer to Android!
