Whether you want to permanently reduce the volume of your iPhone alarms to avoid also waking roommates or adjust the sound based on the noise level in the office or coffee shop, Apple gives iPhone users multiple ways to control the alert feature's volume.

You'll need to access your iPhone's settings for both. One lets you manually turn down your iPhone's Ringer and Alerts level, with changes applying to all of your iPhone's alarm, alert, and call sounds. The other allows you to use your phone's side volume buttons — which are usually reserved for music and video playback — to increase or decrease alert levels.
