iOS 17, the default notification tone is changed to - rebound instead of tri-tone. And now, it is too quite. Also, it can't be changed or replaced. Is it possible that it will be replaced/fixed ????
iOS 17 - default notification tone
My notification sounds are all set to Milestone, yet it still plays the Rebound sound for every notification I get!! It really sounds like a failed call sound and I get super confused every single time...
seriously i hate this new notification tone , please change it to back or at least give us a choice to change it back !
This change is particularly egregious for people with Ring alarms who've relied on being able to clearly hear alerts sent when doors or windows are opened or closed. The barely audible "rebound" sound defeats a key feature of the security system. Either Apple needs to allow us to change the default sound for 3rd part app alerts -- or Ring needs to stop deferring to Apple and supply its own unique sound.
The most annoying part of this is the tones I have paid for and cannot use...get it together Apple and put it back to the way it was!! What a ridiculous update, or downdate actually! You're going backwards
I just downloaded the update to iOS 17.1, and was hoping against hope that the third party app notification sound would be changed back to tri-tone, or at least to a louder tone. But no. Does no one at Apple care that this stupid new tone is barely able to be heard? This is getting so effing annoying. Please, please, please fiix it! Now! Somebody there must have SOME brains and be able to fix this. You have had a gazzillion messages and requests to fix this...what is taking so long???
Why did you lower the notification volume, Apple? I don't think this is beneficial for users. People can already turn off their notifications whenever they want. This really doesn't make sense.
What on earth were they thinking? How did this change even get by any kind of review? “Hey Frank, let’s stop allowing people to change the default notification sound, and oh yeah…change it to the quietest sound we have so nobody notices.” You can no longer even call it a “notification” if it in fact, fails to notify.
And Before getting your hopes up about iOS 17.1….nope, no fix!
i hate the new notification sound and not changeable guess ill get a android dumb move apple
unhappy with notification it needs to be changeable i guess ill get a deferent type of phone
The worst change ever, for me and my parents who don't hear the notifications! I was hoping a fix with 17.1, but nope. Thinking seriously to going back to Android :(
This is going to be a deal breaker for me. I have different tones for my Apps, and now they all sound the same, and the sound is too quiet. The links to my security camera must be much louder and have a different sound.
Agreed! "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" At a minimum, please give users the ability to customize the notification sound!
I just submitted feedback to apple/com/feedback
I agree with being able to change it. I have missed some important messages because I was unable to hear ringtone. Please fix it as soon as possible.
I agree. I just upgraded to iOS 17 and it's really hard on me that the notification sound on my locked screen is a quiet one that cannot be customized by contact or app. I had purposely assigned different text tones by contact so that I'd know which ones to respond to or ignore. Now that feature is gone, I feel like I've been set back technologically by a few years.
