For the record, not a boomer, but why are you targeting that group? Everywhere I go it is someone, just as often young as old, that thinks I want to hear their notifications, tiktok, or whatever bullshit of the day they want everyone to hear.

Nah it's Gen Z and their loud iPhone bell notifications.
WE'RE IN CLASS!! SILENCE YOUR PHONES DAMMIT!
No it's any asshole listening to TikTok or YouTube on speaker
There is almost nothing worse than someone else's tiktok feed playing out loud in the same room you are.
It's insufferable.
OH NO
OH NO

First world problems
I took a commuter train to the big city the other day and I couldn't believe how many other commuters were scrolling through TikTok with speaker on, or video calling their parents with speaker on. Nobody else wants to hear your shitty music videos.
I had the Samsung notification whistle down pat back in the S3/S4/S5 era. Everyone had that as their default and it was so easy to fuck with people.
Boobedy boop boop
😡
There was one person who had a whole ringtone as the notification sound. IT would go for 20 seconds.
Do you not care?
bingo. they dont give a fuck.
Back in my day, we let the entire ringtone play out because it was "Who let the dogs out", and we paid 99 cents for it. There was no way we would admit that paying for a ringtone was a dumb idea, so we had to justify it any time we got a phone call.
(By we, I mean millennials, but I never did buy a ringtone. Never understood it, and have used vibrate since my first phone.)
I had a professor whose phone would go off every one or two minutes during lecture. Same guy would use the word "literally" in every other sentence (always incorrectly). So many annoying things in that class.
I heard a Samsung whistle that ended in a fart sound...12 times in less than five minutes. All numbers are estimated, but I feel like I am undershooting it.
Unless I am actively waiting for something, the phone is on vibrate. But even then my attitude is notifications are what I see when I bother to take a look. There is usually nothing that cant wait until I want to take the time to deal with it.
People are so Pavlovian about their devices, I see it all the time.
They are called BOOMers for a reason X)
You may let yourself out
My parents do this. I'll be sitting across the room at night, playing some hades on my steam deck, and I'll suddenly get jumpscared by my mum browsing facebook
There are rare cases where full volume is necessary, but definitely not for the vast majority of people. For example, my phone is set to about 50% ringer volume, but I'm also on-call for work sometimes and I have that phone constantly set to 100% so I know that I'll hear it in any circumstance. It also only goes off once every couple of months or so and not constantly.
Remember Nokia bricks? Couldn't call them the quietest sounding phone as well.p
Forgot about that until visiting family in Florida. Phones and medical devices beeping everywhere
