Notifications LOUD during a call

After a couple of months of holding calls with the iPhone, hearing is no longer one of my strong suits....
I’m being ghosted too
iPhone 14 pro here, and I also have this problem. Just noticed it an hour ago when I got a text during a call. My ear still feels a little off now...that's how loud it is. I'm surprised they haven't fixed this yet......won't be long before someone claims for damage to their hearing.

That doesn't lower all notifications and affects other settings. I solved it a different way. I just use a different sound for texts which isn't as loud as the default one. I use Bamboo
Same issue on my 14 pro max. I went to Apple Genius Bar and they acknowledged that this is common problem so no need to change my headset as Apple has not confirmed it is a hardware issue.
they told me to wait for software update.
Bloody it is already 6 months since you launched this phone and one of the biggest phone company in the world has not able to figure out this software update yet.
shame on Apple!

WHAT THE ACTUAL FU.... APPLE? Got my phone a couple of days ago and almost went death cause of beeps from Whattsapp ( my business require to get quite a few from groups) seeing this **** going on from launch here and STILL hasn't been fixed. Just tested this on my wife 13, there is a really any sound coming out. My 13 Pro was exactly the same, almost silent but this makes my phone unuseable and I'm afraid of not affecting my ear.
I have emailed my guy at Apple Support over 20 times - they clearly have no intention of getting back to me.
So frustrating. Should we all send a letter to Apple HQ? I just can't believe such a widespread problem is going ignored.

I'm got in calls 3 times with their support. They said they will get back to me on Wednesday with a response from their technical support as they are aware of it ( no **** sherlock, it's been almost half a year) and they will inform when this will get fixed. If they give me a timeframe of over 30 days I'm asking for a full refund. Seriously shocking.
If I remember, I toggle the mute switch when on a video call.
It's silly - I'm staring at the phone; I can see the notifications. I don't need loud pings and beeps as well.
I've tried to set up automations for this, but Apple doesn't allow any incoming calls to trigger notifications, and as I run FaceTime through shortcuts and widgets, they don't properly trigger them either.
Things like this (Shortcuts, Automation, AppleScript, Notifications, Siri ...) manage to do the basics but nothing advanced. It's becoming annoying; it's as if technological progress (in software) has ground to a halt 😁

I have just signed up to comment too, as I have just got this phone and it’s driving me crazy. My first iPhone too as moved from a Samsung so I’m really not happy. I take it there is nothing we can do to turn this off when on a call?
Only way seems to be to toggle the mute switch. But then you have to remember to toggle it back after the call.
Happened today whilst driving too, came through the 'car' so loud on the speakers. Very annoying.
Thanks for the reply!
Same problem here with 14 pro max, it is so loud in my ear. I think I will have to change to another text sound, just a shame cause I used to have another sound but many times I found it was to low, then I changed to use the default Node sound as this one was easier to hear. But when on calls that sound is way to loud. Wish there was a way to auto lower text sounds when on calls, there really should be an option for that, or it should be standard, just like how it lowers the sound when you look at the phone when you receive a call or when an alarm goes off etc. then it auto lowers the sound because it knows you are at the phone when looking at it. The same should be done with the text sound during calls, it already knows when you are on a call so no need for this loud sound.

I have the 15 Pro Max, I will see if I can do a test one day and get someone to text me while im on a call with him. Im on iOS 17.0.2
I got the 15 PM on launch day (I have 3 of them.. don't ask).
NONE have this issue.
Some setup as new, one setup from an iCloud Restore.
It must be a hardware to software glitch/bug because it isn't present on the 15 PM.

What if you use a different iCloud account?
I went through SO MANY PHONES that I don't know how it's randomly appearing on so many. There has to be an identifying link between them that makes them do this.
