Ever found yourself annoyed by the little "click" sound every time you lock your iPhone or iPad? Or maybe you miss that sound when it’s turned off? Don’t worry, you can easily switch the lock sound in iphone on or off. Follow us, Let’s start now!
Lock sound is a part of the system's feedback mechanisms that notify you when your device is locked or unlocked.
Step 1: Unlock your iPhone/iPad and navigate to the Home screen. Locate and tap on the "Settings" app.
Step 2: In the Settings menu, scroll down and select "Sounds & Haptics". On older versions of iOS, this option may be listed as "Sounds".
Step 3: Under the "System Sounds & Haptics" section, find the "Lock Sound" option.
Step 4: Toggle the switch next to "Lock Sound" to the off position (the switch will turn gray). This action will disable the lock sound.
Step 5: Lock and unlock your device to ensure that the lock sound has been successfully disabled. You should no longer hear the locking or unlocking sound.
Step 1: Go to iPhone settings > Sounds & Haptics.
Step 2: Locate the "Lock Sound" Option, toggle it on (the switch will turn green). This will re-enable the lock sound.
Step 3: And after enabled, you can hear the lock sound with each lock or unlock action.
If you want to mute the iPhone Lock Sound for some specific situations, you can enable silent mode. This will mute all system sounds, including the lock sound, except for alarms and notifications that override the silent mode.
For iPhone/iPad with Physical Mute button:
Steps: Just simply flip the physical mute switch (on the top left corner of your iPhone) on the side of your iPhone to the "silent" position.
Tips: To re-enable the Lock Sound, just switch it to "Ring" position.
For iPhone/iPad without Mute Button (Such as iPhone 15 pro):
Steps: Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen to open Control Center iPhone. Tap the "Silent" button in Control Center to enable silent mode. And re-tap on it to re-enable the lock sound on iPhone.
Q1: Can I adjust the iPhone lock sound volume?
Of course you can. If you want to change the volume of the lock sound, you’ll need to adjust the overall system volume.
Steps: Go to settings > Sounds & Haptics, swipe left or right on the slider to adjust the volume. You can also turn on "Change with Buttons" to use the volume buttons for adjustments.
Q2: How to Change Lock Screen Sound on iPhone?
Currently, iOS does not support customizing the lock sound with your own audio files. The lock sound options are predefined and cannot be changed.
For custom alert sounds, you can explore other notifications like ringtones and text tones in the "Sounds & Haptics" menu.
Navigate to Settings -> Sounds & Haptics, locate the "Ringtone" option then choose the ringtone, select the ringtone you like.
Q3: Will turning off the lock sound affect other sound notifications on my device?
No, turning off the lock sound only affects the specific sound that plays when you lock or unlock your device. Other notifications, ringtones, and alert sounds will continue to function as usual.
Q4: How to Fix Lock Screen Sound Not Working?
1. Turn Off Sound Recognition: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Sound Recognition and disable the feature.
2. Reset All Settings: Navigate to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings. Note that this will reset your device settings but not delete your data.
3. Update to the Latest iOS Version: Ensure your device is running the latest version of iOS by going to Settings > General > Software Update and installing any available updates.
