That annoying notification that you're playing your jams too loud!

[debdean63]

As of today, I just got sick of getting that notification that Im playing my music too loud. Went on the net to see if there was a fix and only saw everyone and their mother complaining about the same thing with no fix. If this has already been discussed in here please feel free to delete this.

Here is the absolute FIX for that annoying controlling behaviour Apple added to your OS when listening to your jams with your car speaker, through your bluetooth and phone or as with me, Airpods too.
Go to

settings,
accessibility
airpods
audio accessibility settings
headphone notifications and turn that puppy OFF!!! =)

Let me know if you got it fixed.

It seems curious to me that, as you describe it, so many people couldn't find a fix. It's right in the Apple documentation:

Headphone notifications on your iPhone, iPod touch or Apple Watch - Apple Support (IN)

Receive notifications that your volume should be turned down when you've reached the recommended 7-day audio exposure limit.

Ah that’s not the notification I’m referring to. Here’s the scenario. You’ve got your phone volume all the way up and it’s Bluetooth is connected to your car so that you can control the volume of your music through your steering wheel. Much safer that way. However the phone reads that your volume is dangerously too loud and because of this new feature in the operating system where they’re trying to control your volume so you don’t hurt your ears, you keep getting these notifications that the volume is too high. Everyone has been complaining about the volume automatically being turned down by the app or phone. The fix I shared is to keep that from happening.

When you first connect to a device, it’ll ask you if it’s a car, stereo or headphones. It does *NOT* turn down the volume if you pick car or stereo, only if you pick headphones. It can be changed later in Bluetooth or audio settings depending on wired or wireless. - At least that’s how it worked when I connected to my mum’s car

Of course with devices known to Apple like AirPods where the device knows for sure it’s headphones, it’ll automatically just assign the headphone profile and enable the hearing protection feature, which in my book is not a bad thing. I‘d prefer not going deaf early. Also have loudness warnings on my Apple Watch for environmental noise

All of my professional sound buddies would tell me that that the volume of the source should not be at max output going to the mixer / amp (in your case, your car's stereo) anyway, but several steps down from that. This to prevent distortion, if nothing else. If your car's system can't then cope with increasing the volume to an acceptable level for you (bearing in mind there may be limiters in it to stop from frying the speakers), then maybe you really need to to rethink how loud you're listening to music?
I mean, if you're hoping for the sort of volume that causes the whole car to vibrate, is heard by pedestrians a block away, and prevents you from hearing that fire truck looming directly behind you...?

The fix for this in the car is to change the device’s classification in the Bluetooth settings.

Tinnitus is no joke. It absolutely ****ing sucks. I used to play headphones at whatever high volume I felt like, go to concerts without earplugs, etc -- and now I'd love to be able to go back in time and not be such an idiot. You do you, shut off the warnings and roast your eardrums if you like, but when in 15 or 20 years you've got a nasty little ringing tone you hear at all times in your ears, you might wish you'd paid attention to that "controlling behaviour"!

I wouldn't be satisfied if I didn't regret everything I've done.
