iOS 17 - default notification tone

This issue is so annoying 😒

I agree with being able to change it. For someone whos hard of hearing I would love to be able to change it.

and the vibro is also changed - and it is not good

Yes, I noticed that iOS 17 has changed the default notification tone to – rebound sound instead of tri tone and it's way too quiet, apparently it can't be changed. I have a hearing problem and are having real problems hearing it what a disadvantage to people with bad hearing. Apple why change things that weren't broken need to be able to customize this sound.

This is a MUST FIX. The sound is hardly noticible and it's not possible to send a push notification with a different sound as IOS ignores the request and always plays the new sound.

Such a disappointment. I regret that I downloaded the new iOS. Hands up for Polish swipe but replacing tri tone with a barely audible ringtone is a downgrade.

Exactly. The worst change in all iOS 17. They also changed the vibration so all apps have the same vibration. I used to recognize apps via the vibration and I knew what is important and what is not only by the vibration. So now I am looking for a way to downgrade because notifications are the BASICS of the phone and they changed it without a chance to customise it back yourself. No thanks.

We appreciate your interest in participating in the forums! These forums are for questions about developing software and accessories for Apple platforms. Your question seems related to a consumer feature and is better suited for the Apple Support Communities

This is really a change for worst. Apple should fix that a.s.a.p.

Yes the default volume for third party notifications is too low. Please give an option to raise the volume to ability to change the tone.

This issue is so annoying 😒

This is so sad. Hard of hearing and now have missed items all day :( Apple, let us change it or increase the volume!

Dear Apple, Please, in a future update of iOS 17, allow us to make changes to default notification tone !! You are way too savvy of a tech company not to correct this !!

Thank you.

Dear Apple, After os17 update the notification sound has changed, liked other people are also mentioning and it is becoming very annoying and not able change it make situation more worst. It unnecessarily make us think that what compromise we can face without our consent in the upcoming updates !!

Make is customizable to user hand.

Thank you

My idea of a workaround.

1. download the Tritone sound files.

2. incorporate into your application.

3. Specify the name of the tritone sound source in UNNotificationSoundName.

But, this workaround may have copyright problems.

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!
