To make the alarm louder on your iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Go to Sounds & Haptics.
- Under the Ringtone and Alerts section, drag the slider to the right to increase the volume. This slider controls the volume of your alarms as well as ringtones and alerts. As you adjust it, you will hear a preview of the volume level
- Optionally, enable Change with Buttons if you want to use the physical volume buttons on the side of your iPhone to adjust the alarm volume quickly
Additionally, you can choose a louder alarm sound for better wake-up effectiveness:
- Open the Clock app and tap the Alarms tab.
- Tap an existing alarm or create a new one.
- Tap Sound and select a louder or more aggressive tone, such as the "Alarm" sound under the Classic section, which is known to be quite loud
If you want even louder sound, consider playing the alarm through external speakers or using an Apple Watch to wake you with haptics
. This method ensures your alarm volume is as loud as possible using built-in iPhone settings.
