Hi guys, lets try this on your iphones, i've tried it on mine and on a friend's 3G. First, make sure you have your iphone ringer on and setup to sound when you lock/unlock it. Now go to the call app (don't know how is it called, the green one with the telephone) go to the numeric keypad, now lock your phone and unlock it. When you unlock it, it will sound really low. Now go to the Voice Notes app, when you unlock it the same will happen, but when you lock it, it won't even sound.
Does it happen to you guys?
 
Yup, just tried it.

I think I remember noticing it before but didn't pay much attention to it.

Yeah me neither but just now I had time to post it and try it on another iphone to confirm lol.
 
All my sounds are messed up at some point in the day. I have it on silent 80% of the day anyway so I just laugh at Apple when it does happen.
 
Also, when you unlock it after locking it with the Voice Memos app open the unlock sound is slightly louder than normal.
 
Yes, this happens with my iPhone also. I dont understand why there would be a lower unlock sound with the phone app but...it makes sense with voice memos. Say you want to record sound with your phone locked, you dont want to hear the lock sound in your recording right?
 
Also, (this has been a bug since day 1 with iphone 2 years ago) Go to phone and hold a number on the call pad. While doing so, press the sleep/wake button. The number you're holding get's REALLY loud.
