Seemed lower to me but I was at Best Buy where it was noisy in the store. All the noise was about other stuff and not the Ipad3/new/whatever

I thought the opposite, the new iPad has a much louder speaker.

Same here. Mine is def louder and better

I'm finding it louder too!

Last year, when I tried to get an iPad 2, the sound was awful.

This seems more on par with the original iPad now. Nice!

I dont know to me it seems low. Could it just be my ipad ?? Im dumb founded by this.

I found the sound on the new iPad to have much more boom when compared to the iPad 2 which sounded tinny.

Played a few tunes, wish I had my old iPad to compare but definitely sounded quieter when I was playing music.

Went to Settings, Music and unchecked Sound Check and that added quite a bit of volume boost.

Sound Check destroys music fidelity. That's problem #1. 😀

Are you using a case? Maybe it grips the speaker differently with the new taper and stuff. Also, there could be a dissonance in that some of you are holding it up in the air, and others have it on a table. The taper is different, so the sound it makes while on its back will be different too.

I used to own the first iPad. My new iPads audio is alot louder!! Very impressed by the difference in sound quality. Don't know how it compares to iPad 2 though

 

[philosopherdog]

The opposite. The audio is significantly improved IMO. I have 2 ipad 1's and I know that the audio on the 1 was better than on the 2. The sound is way better.

Mine is louder. Loving it!

I just got my iPad 2 out of the drawer, and tested them side by side. They're exactly the same. Seriously, I best if you were blindfolded you couldn't pick out which was which.

iPad 1 to new iPad, is a definite sound increase for me, its brilliant.

 

[johnc22]

System sounds like typing, lock and unlock are much quieter on mine.

 

[dread]

Much louder than the 2 for me.

 

[ixodes]

Just checked mine side by side with my iPad 2, they are identical.

 

[Bob Coxner]

I have an iPad 1. The new one is much louder and has better quality.

 

[doboy]

I think my new iPad sounds much better and louder than the iPad 2.

After 5.1 it did get louder.

 

[scupking]

The sound is good just wish the speaker was on the top. Sounds amazing if I cup my hand under the speaker to boune the sound towards me.

 

[xraytech]

For me, the volume is lower in regards to the keyboard clicks. Everything else seems fine to my ears.

 

[ProMod]

Mine seems very quiet when typing, even with volume maxed out.

Seems louder than the first generation iPad to me,.
