My iPhone doesn't make a sound when I receive a text, even though it's on loud.

When a message comes through on my iPhone it doesn't give and text tone to say it has arrived. It will show it on the screen as normal when the home button is pressed. I have checked my handset is not on mute and the volume is full. It is not set to vibrate in any way. How can I fix this?

Is the silent switch on?

On my iPhone 4s, how do I make it so it doesn't make a sound when I send a text?

On my iPhone 4s, how do I make it so it doesn't make a sound when I send a text? Even if my ringer is set to high, I don't want it to make a sound when it sends my texts..can anyone help?

Flip the Ring/Silent switch.

IPhone doesn't make a noise when a text is received

I just got a brand new iPhone 3G. All of the sound works, except when I receive a text, it only vibrates and doesn't make the sound I've set it to. Ringtones, voicemail alerts, sent texts, alarms, etc., all make their appropriate noises. It's ONLY when I receive a text it does not.
My volume is all the way up and on, it's set on vibrate and ring.

I've noticed this issue too...am I being dumb? Did I miss the reason for this? And is there a bug fix? I've tried selecting a different text alert sound, but to no avail...

Since the iOS 7 update, some apps no longer have sound, even of configured to do so. Example, no longer does my FaceTime ring even if I have a tone set; my email app doesn't make a sound when email comes in or goes out. Help!

Ever since I updated to ios7, sounds from specific apps has disappeared, even if configured correctly to make sounds. My mail doesn't sound off anymore when mail comes in or goes out. My FaceTime no longer rings when someone calls me. My map app no longer gives me voice instructions like it did before. If someone messages me I do not hear sounds anymore. I find it very annoying especially because I have family abroad and FaceTime is an important means of communication. I reset it by pressing the sleep and home button and all, nothing happened.
Can someone help understand how to resolve this problem.
Thank you so very much.

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Make sure sound is not muted in Control Center; tap on the little bell. Swipe upwards from bottom of screen to launch Control Center

Iphone doesn't make a sound alert when get texts many times

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes you get a sound alert that you got a text and many times you do not?

Hello, Nina1125.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would make sure that you have a Text Tone set in Settings > Sounds. If your device is witched to silent Text Tones will not be audible.

TS1630 My iPhone 4 wont make a sound when someone texts me

Is the device on mute?
Is Do Not Disturb turned on?
Is the volume turned up?
Is there a valid notification sound selected for the contact or general text messages?

Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

Deborah,
The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
(1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
(2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
(3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
(4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
(5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
(6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
(7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings . this wipes settings but not data and media.
This is really frustrating.

My iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when receiving a text message

for some reason since yesterday, my Iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when I receive a normal or Imessage text message.
I double checked that vibration works in general and it does. so does the sound file for the Text tone.
My ringer works fine as well as vibration for incoming calls but nothing works with a normal text message (even whatsapp works fine).
I have no idea what could be the issue here.
Any ideas?

- Unmute your phone
- Set your Ringtone to default
- Adjust your volume
- If you're on iOS6 - DO NOT DISTURB feature turn it OFF
Try again

E51 doesn't make a sound!...

Hi,
my E51 doesn't make a sound since yesterday
nothing to do with profiles or settings
it just doesn't make a sound
when you connect it... when you get a message...
formated it, but still the same...
could it be a loudspeaker fault!?...
(still vibrates, but I don’t need it as such!)
Thanks

thanks.
I managed to revive the speaker for a brief moment after one of many firmware flashes / hard resets. (But I didn't realize) I only noticed when I went back into changing the alarm ring tone and it actually played the tune. when changing to the next tone - speaker died again.
No luck reviving the sound since.
Problem seem to happen when changing "clock alarm tone" via offline apps / clock / options / settings.
But I'm now convinced that its a software problem. Hopefully the local repair center will replace phone as well...

TS3406 there is no sound when I receive a call or message bu the sound works when I go into settings. what may be the answer?

I have an Iphone 5 and this morning it will not make a sound when I receive a message or call. All settings are as before and sounds are made when I check the sound settings. Any ideas on what has happened? Hardware or software issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thank you so much! I let my husband use my phone last night and he thinks he pushed it by mistake. Thanks so much for your help Meg!

Application makes a sound when clicking alt + any key

I have an EventListener that catches the key down and key up events to see if Alt is being pressed for certain hotkeys. I noticed when you hold down Alt + anykey the application makes a sound. I thought this may have been from what I had overwritten, but I opened an application that had nothing in it and hit alt + any key and it made the same sound. Where is this sound coming from and how can I remove it?

I don't think so. If I hit Alt + 1, while no AIR app is running it doesn't make the sound.
If I click Alt + 1, when any AIR app is running it makes the sound.

I accidentally put my itouch 4th generation in the washer, so i took my itouch apart and dried it but now the screen is black but my itouch still makes a sound when i plug it in. what should i do?

so i accidentally washed my itouch and i took it apart and dried it but now the screen is black, i restored it but it still doesn't work but it makes a sound when i plug it in like it normally would. please help me

Yu can try the suggestions here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Was the restore successful?
If so I conclude thay the washing damaged something and servie is required. Ormaybe you damaged something when you took it apart/put it back together.

How do I make my ipad make a sound when it is misplaced?

Display a message or play
a sound to help you find it.
Say you’ve just used Find My iPhone, and it turns out you left your iPhone at the doctor’s office. You can write a message and display it on your screen. Something like, “Oops, left my iPhone behind. Please call me at 408-555-0198.” Your message appears, even if the screen is locked. And if the map shows that your iPhone is nearby — perhaps in your office under a pile of papers — yet you still can’t find it, you can tell Find My iPhone to play a sound that overrides the volume or silent setting.

Have you even looked at the calendar app? Did you not notice the "Alert" field in the event details when you create a calendar event?
