Notification Volume (WAY TOO LOUD)

Travis

I've searched the forum before posting this and I also searched google to ensure I'm not asking something answered 1000 times.

The notification volume on my Pixel 7 is just absolutely earth shattering loud.

The volume range goes between loud talking (low) to somewhere just under jet engines. I am able to control the volume its just the range is totally unusable....

I need to be able to turn the volume down at least 50% lower than the lowest setting possible. I have a dog that is sensitive to loud alarm sounds. It is this loud with all ring tone default or downloaded.

I know there is the option to use audacity to manually modify some ringtones however it seems like other people should be having the same issue.

This is a default install using the web installer. Didn't modify any of the system files. Didn't install any apps that have anything to do with notifications. The ringtones were loud right out of the gate.

you could use other sounds as ringtones, when u choose a ringtone, scroll to the bottom then click add new ringtone

Yes turned all the way down to that very bottom mark it is too loud. Exactly as you show it 1 notch above muted as low as it can go. I can totally add notification tones however this impacts all tones on the phone both preinstalled and downloaded.

I would have to manually modify every ringtone on the device and wouldn't be able to use any default sounds. This isn't an issue that I've had on other devices.

This is loud enough that it seems like it should be an issue for many people??

idk it not loud at all for me, I do just leave it on vibrate most of the time tho 🏌️‍♂️

I'm not a programmer so everything that follows is me talking like I know something. It feels like this could be a linear vs logarithmic scale issue? I am use to the first 'notch' above muted to be somewhere roughly around the same volume as the vibrate. Enough for you to hear it but not enough that its an annoyance. How many 'notches' of earth shattering loud are necessary? It feels like there isn't any range to the slider.
