Matthew, keep in mind that the 3GS had a few issues with the speaker. For one thing, I vaguely remember that it would distort really really badly if you turned it way up. The 5 isn't like that. I can crank it to full max, and it still maintains a very! very! cristal clear sound. I just don't like it blaring the hell outta me when I'm in a call. I do know one thing I could! do, to get around the issue, but it's really a poor man's work around. If you basically put the phone up to your ear and then somehow can lock your screen, while it's up to your ear on the receiver, not on speaker phone, which I don't know how to do that unless you have headphones plugged in initially, then you won't hear the notification be read out, provided under settings, general, accessibility you have that feature shut off, which I think by default, it is.
Thank you kindly, Christopher-Mark Gilland.

Hi, I have a 3gs and when I am using my phone without speakers, It is quite lould. I think it is something to do with ios itself. Just my thought. matthew Dyer [email protected] On Jan 4, 2013, at 12:26 AM, Michael Babcock wrote: 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. http://empoweringtheblind.com Empowering the blind, one person at a time.

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.
