Navigation sound volume
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Make a option for audio output via "alarm" channel. Media volume is not always on and I can miss notifications that way. Thanks!

Waze volume will not adjust separately from the radio volume.
When directions are being given I turn the volume up to 23 or higher, then when the instructions stop and the radio resumes, it virtually blows your eardrums. -

I have been using Waze for years and love it! The only problem I have is that when beginning a trip I have no way of knowing if the volume is going to be loud enough and once it starts giving updates you can only adjust WHILE it is actually talking. By the time I get my finger to the button the talking has already finished and I can't adjust. I request a button to make it talk so that you have time to adjust. Maybe just a commercial that speaks for 15 seconds or so to allow adjustment time.

Seems like this was posted in 2010. Whoa.
The volume controls for Waze are a little jank. It would be great to have the option of:
- Separate volume controls for Waze voice, Waze notifications, Waze alerts. Option to enable/disable specific alerts.
- Separate volume controls for apps connected to Waze. (eg,Spotify)
- The option to adjust how much other audio is lowered when navigation is speaking (eg music on Spotify)
-The option to disable automatic volume adjustments completely if desired.I'm personally not having problems with the volume of the navigator itself, it's loud and stays loud, my prob is that I'd like to adjust the amount that my music volume is tampered with- it lowers the volume way too much, it's really not necessary, and it's jarring while driving to have music just conk out while im getting directions shouted at me, then the music jumps back in at the same volume- this "feature" is awful, I don't know who thought it was a good idea. When listening to the radio at one volume and listening to directions at a different static volume, I have no problem hearing directions. This argument that it lowers the music audio so that directions can be "heard" seems a bit flawed- in fact it makes it harder to hear directions coz im so distracted by the music dropping out then coming back lol.

Looking through the posts this is a long standing problem that has not been resolved, although the google maps app has a simple in app control.

Voice guidance volume, even when set to Max, is still much too quiet. We need to be able to either set it to a higher / boosted volume, have it set our music quieter while it's talking (I use YouTube Music); or both! I have tried a number of different voices and I cannot hear any of them when my music is at a comfortable volume - this is very different from Google Maps which is very easily heard.

needs to be some way to increase the volume. For some reason, the voice is so low I cannot hear it timely.

I love the current speeding alert, but I would love the option for a more obnoxious and loud speeding alert for those of us who are abit more lead footed. This would mean that you could choose between the current soft beep sounds, and maybe a much louder warning sound. Maybe the screen could even turn red and become redder and redder if you continue speeding. And the warning would only stop when you stop speeding

The alerts, for speed traps and so on, are working well. The distance could be more, so earlier advise, but it's OK.
But what is really bad, is the silence advise. You almost can't hear it in the car with the radio in normal volume. There isn't even a good visual advise. Give the option to increase the alert's volume would be great and helpful. And if you would add a flashing screen whe you're coming close to any kind of speed trap, dangerous points or whatever can need an advise, the app would be perfect. You can't pay all the time attention to the screen when you're driving. But if you're not, you'll miss the advise. For now, I need another app for the alerts. Hopefully a can delete the other one soon. -

Please increase the volume available. I ride a bike and need the extra volume to overcome road noise and match the volume of my music.

I highly prefer this navigation app over all others but the reroute beep is very loud and distracting. If I miss my exit it's gonna bloopbeep loud and startling causing me to swerve. It's so bad that I just stick with Google maps bc at least it's not triggering to my anxiety. If there's a way to modify the sounds I would love to know how. I need the volume high bc I have hearing difficulty and need to be able to hear directions.

Ditto on the other comments that volume can only be changed with the hard buttons when Waze is actually speaking. Another issue I've found is I can set the volume where I want it when I am starting navigation (Waze speaking). However, when I plug in my Lightning cord to charge my phone (iOs obviously), then Waze either assumes I'm using the radio speakers for navigation or it changes the volume back to a low preset, because then I have to adjust the volume AGAIN while Waze is AGAIN speaking. I have an older vehicle and don't have Bluetooth, and the navigation directions DO NOT transmit through the radio.

bonjour ! moi aussi je règle le son de mon iphone sur cet appareil , car le son des alertes vitesse ne marchait plus en bluetooth ,
à présent je mets ""forcez sur cet appareil "" et le son est fort quand je le règle dans ma maison ... par le curseur de 20 à 100 !
mais dés que je roule , le téléphone doit sentir que je me déplace et j'entends plus les alertes sonores
c'est très dommage car je me sers de WAZE pour respecter vraiment la limitation de vitessesi c'est un truc des forces de l'ordre ?? franchement c'est très dommage car ça fait rouler les gens comme il faut !
j'ai pas trouver de solutions à ce jour 03/03/2021 -

With a recent update the voice volume is higher for alerts than general directions. This is jarring and unwanted. The user should be able to set ALL volume settings including keeping all voice commands at the same volume level.

Greetings,
It would be a huge help to have an in-app volume control that can adjust the specific volume of the WAZE voice. This cannot be currently done. Unfortunately, the WAZE voice can come through at uncomfortably loud levels while listening to say a podcast etc. I would love to see this addition. It would be a big help! Thanks and best regards.

the over speed alert on waze is too low. Can you please increase the volume or even change the type of sound and not just a beep. its sometimes hard to notice esp with engine noise
