When my iPhone keyboard suddenly becomes loud, I find it annoying. I’ve also seen that the problem affects a lot of iPhone users. You might have been sure you hadn’t changed the iPhone’s keyboard settings, but boom! All of a sudden, your eardrums are irritated. When this occurs, it is more unpleasant if you are wearing earbuds.
I’ll explain why your iPhone keypad occasionally becomes noisy in this article. I’ll also show you how to get your iPhone to stop engaging in this occasionally grating habit.
Understanding Why the iPhone Keyboard Volume Increases
Why then do iPhones act in this manner? Why does the iPhone keypad occasionally become noisy and unpredictable? The way iOS functions is the cause of this behavior. You see, your device increases the volume by one bar when you receive a notification in order to make you aware of it and increase the likelihood that you will hear it.
This is quite beneficial because it may increase your likelihood of receiving essential messages on your smartphone in a timely manner. However, the keyboard sound also becomes louder if you are typing when the notification arrives. Now that you are aware of the cause of your device’s behavior, let’s discuss the fix.
Fixing iPhone Keyboard Randomly Getting Loud
As I previously stated, the operating system of the iPhone has an inherent flaw that causes this issue. Although it’s likely that it will be fixed in the future, Apple hasn’t taken any action in this regard as of yet. This is just my personal view, but given how much time has gone since this problem was initially brought to light, I don’t think Apple will be motivated to address the problem.
In light of this, I advise switching to haptic feedback and turning off the keyboard sound altogether. After all, you’re reading this because you don’t like the sound of the keyboard. The anxiety that comes with loud notifications is reduced by switching to haptics, and (at least for me) it just feels great.
2 minutes are required.

That’s all there is to it, yes. Your keyboard is now silent. You will only experience a mild vibration that is comforting.
