How To Make Speaker Louder On Iphone

'Why is my iPhone so quiet?': 4 ways to make your iPhone louder, from changing its settings to sticking it in a bowl

iphone in bowl — There are a few ways to make your iPhone louder without buying any extra equipment.

Change your iPhone's EQ settings

The Late Night EQ setting can make your phone sound louder by enhancing quieter elements in the music.

The EQ setting called "Late Night" normalizes your iPhone's Music app's sound by making quieter sounds closer in volume to the loudest sections. The overall effect is that all your audio sounds louder.

1. Start the Settings app.

2. Tap "Music" and then tap "EQ."

3. On the EQ page, tap "Late Night."

Turn off the iPhone's volume limiter

If the volume limiter is on, you might be handicapping your iPhone speaker.

It's possible that your phone's volume limiter might be turned on. This is a safety feature designed to ensure you don't damage your hearing by playing the iPhone too loudly. But if it's enabled and your phone just isn't loud enough, try turning it off.

1. Start the Settings app.

2. Tap "Music."

3. Find "Volume Limit" and make sure it is set to Off. If it's on, tap "Volume Limit" and slide the volume control all the way to the right. Tap "Music" at the top left of the page and make sure it is now turned off.

Position the iPhone to make it sound louder

A simple tweak like turning the phone upside down or placing it in a bowl so the sound can reflect upwards can help make it louder.

Not all solutions are high tech — some are common sense. Here are a couple of things that'll make your iPhone louder:

Position it upside down. The speaker is on the bottom, so if you tend to prop it up against a computer or phone stand so you can read the screen while you work, the speaker is firing down into the table. Turn it upside down, and the speaker will fire up, sounding slightly louder.
Put it in a bowl. If you rest your iPhone in a bowl, the curved base of the bowl will cause sound waves to bounce up, creating a better soundstage.
