Set different volume for phone and clock
On iOS, is there a way to set a different volume (loudness level) for the alarms I set in the 'Clock' app? I'd like to lower the volume for the alarm I use to wake up in the morning, but without lowering the volume for when I am on a call. Right now I have to remember to turn down the ringer volume setting each night, then turn it back up when I am talking on the phone.
Can this be done? I haven't found a way in the Settings app, but perhaps I'm just not looking in the right place.
Solution 1:
There is a free application, called Nightstand Central (the one with the moon symbol) that lets you set the volume of the alarm as you like without changing that of the iPhone.
Solution 2:
Alternative: make you own ringtone for alarm.
An iOS ringtone is a short (< 40s) m4a file in .m4r suffix.
Make it with audio editor (e.g. Audacity). Drag it to iPhone with iTunes.
In Audacity, Amplify with a negative value to reduce the loudness
Solution 3:
For if the answer still hasn’t been found:
- Go to the clock app
- Click “edit” and press on the alarm you want to adjust (not the red button)
- “Sound” and click on the song you want to use
- As the sound plays, adjust your volume using the volume buttons
This should lower or rise the volume of your alarm without affecting your call ringtone. Similarly, you can use this to adjust the volume of new alarms.
