OK, I'm just glad to know that I'm not crazy. Have you gotten an
opportunity to test this out and see if you, too, have the problem with an
IPhone 5? When I bought the phone in the store yesterday, it had 6.0.1.
I'm not totally sure if this occured before I updated it to 6.0.2. I'll be
honest, I used it in the car pretty heavily coming back home, yes, but it
wasn't for talking. It was more just setting things back up etc.
Thank you kindly,

Chris;
I am having both of these issues with my iPhone 4S, running iOS six. I also
tried changing the localization for Siri, for example switching it to the UK
voice. I found that I was additionally having the same volume issue that you
are having.
Related to the notifications, that is very irritating when it occurs. I
typically have to have someone repeat themselves when they are speaking to
me on the phone.

OK, I just bit the bullet today and now have gotten an IPhone 5. God!
Blessid! I love this thing! I do however have one very minor yet
extremely irritating problem, and I didn't know if maybe I forgot to set
something, or maybe if this is actually an IPhone 5 issue. First of all,
let's talk about Siri. One thing I notice is that when she speaks back to
me, even though I have Voiceover at a real comfortable volume, she is
extremely quiet on the Siri side of things. Yes, I did turn it up while
she was in the process of speaking, just like you do to raise the
Voiceover volume. That worked, but I then find that sometimes if I use
Siri dictation, when she repeats back what she's insertting into the text
box, it's again really quiet. I'll turn it back up, but then later after
a few times of use, she'll notcher self right back down. It's totally
strange! I don't get it! Yeah, I did power off the phone and back on
just in case of a glitch. I also did quickly quintupple rapidly do the 5
click press on the sleep button to reset my springboard. That did no good
either.
The other problem is, say I'm on a call and I get a text message, or say a
Facebook alert etc. Voiceover reads the notification so loudly that it
almost blows my eardrum! The first time it happened, I almost through the
thing across the room as it scared me so badly. (OK, that's being a bit
exagerant, but you get my point.) LOL! The bottom line is, it was
extremely! loud. and I do mean, l'l'l'loud! I mean that sucker, had to
be at least! generously speaking, yet literally speaking, probably 3 or 4
times louder than the person I was speaking to. As she was reading the
notification, I quickly clicked my volume down button on the left side of
the phone, and I got it where Voiceover was no longer blaring, but at that
point, the person I was talking to was almost inaudible. Could this be
because the setting under settings, sound was set to where the volume
buttons effect the ringer and alerts? I shut that off, as I normally have
that off anyway, but for some odd reason, that setting didn't carry over
from my backup's restoration from my old 4S. I just know that is gonna
drive me nuts and make me deaf in the longrun if I can't figure it out.
LOL! Yes, I literally mean it, it was that? loud! It was insane! The
really bizarre thing is, now get a load a this! on speaker phone? I don't
have that problem. voiceover is pretty much the same exact volume as the
party who is on the line. Isn't? that! weird? Anyway, yeah... I'm at a
loss. If anyone has any clue, please! do tell! Now, I'm really! curious.
Chris.
