iOS notification volume is too quiet at maximum setting

I would like the notification sounds to be updated in the next iOS version. Specifically, the notification volume—which is already controlled separately—should actually increase when adjusted; right now, even when I set it to the maximum level, the notification sound remains too quiet.

On your iPhone 13, try turning off Attention Aware Features in Face ID settings for a test; it can lower some alerts when the phone detects that you are looking at it. Then check the Ringtone and Alerts slider in Sounds and Haptics and test a built-in alert with the phone across the room. If only one app is quiet, check that app’s notification sound, since some apps use their own alerts.
