Sound and haptics

Ringtones, alerts, vibration and the volume rules your iPhone applies for you.

Silent Mode stops the ringer and alert sounds, but it never silences alarms, media playback or critical alerts.

Settings > Sounds & Haptics

System Haptics controls the small taps you feel when using the interface, separately from vibration for calls and alerts.

Settings > Sounds & Haptics > System Haptics

Your iPhone measures headphone volume over time, warns you when exposure is unsafe, and can cap the maximum level.

Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety

Your iPhone can play rain, ocean, stream or noise sounds continuously in the background to mask distractions or help you concentrate.
