How To Increase Your iPhone Ringer Volume
It can be very frustrating when you miss a call on your cell phone, particularly if the reason you missed it was because the ringer volume on your phone was too low to hear. If you’re expecting an important call it is essential that you don’t miss them. If you have an iPhone you may have experienced a low ringer volume. Surely a cell phone as sophisticated as the iPhone should expect it to let you know properly when you have an incoming call so you don’t miss it. This can happen due to the iPhone having a lower than usual ringer volume but what can be done to improve it?
A common assumption that people make is that the iPhone has such a low ringer volume because it has small speakers. While this might seem to make sense it is not the actual reason for the low ringer volume. The main cause for the low ringer volume is actually the volume levels of the ringtones that are shipped with the iPhone. By replacing those ringtones with your own ringtones you should be able to hear the ringer more clearly.
The default ringtones are recorded at a low frequency which is why they sound so quiet. If you want to hear them more clearly then you will need to find a ringtone that is of a higher frequency. If you own an Apple Mac you can use the Garage Band application and find a new ringtone in there. One of the best ringtones you could use from Garage Band is the sound clip name “Cell Phone Ringing”.
Getting this sound clip onto your iPhone can be a little tricky. You will need to run iFuntastic which is an Intel Mac application. For Windows users you can use either iBrickr or iPhoneRingToneMaker. All of these applications allow you to copy ringtones from your computer to your iPhone which will give you a much improved ringer volume.
When selecting a ringtone you should pick one that is naturally loud. A louder ringtone will be more easy to hear when your phone rings and you will no longer miss calls because you didn’t hear it ringing. With a device as powerful as the iPhone you want to enjoy it to its fullest and fixing the low ringer volume should greatly improve your enjoyment.

Create iPhone Ringtones – How to Make Your Own iPhone Ringtones in iTunes
Making your own iPhone ringtones in iTunes with any non-DRM protected music file is free and very easy to do.
First, you must make sure that iTunes is using the AAC encoder when importing files. For Windows users, click Edit > Preferences, then click on Import Settings under the General tab (Mac users click iTunes > Preferences). Select the AAC Encoder in the first drop down menu, and click OK.
Select the Music folder on the sidebar, Right Click your song (ctrl + Click for Mac users) and then Get Info. Now go to the Options tab and designate a Start and Stop Time for the portion of the song you wish to use. Make sure that the interval is less than 40 seconds, and that both check boxes are filled.
Return to your music library, Right Click on your song, and then select Create AAC Version. This will create a new shortened copy of the song beneath the original.
You will now need to convert this copy into an .m4r file so it can be imported into your iPhone. Right click the file and select Show in Windows Explorer (Show in Finder on Mac). Select the file, then copy and paste a new version into the same folder (Windows users can do this by pressing Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V, and Mac users by pressing Command + C then Command + V).
After pasting the new copy of the file, simply select the file and click on the file name, then change the .m4a extension to .m4r. If the .m4a extension does not appear in the filename, Windows XP users can click on Tools > Folder Options, then click the View tab and uncheck “Hide Extensions for known file types”. On Windows Vista, this same option can be found under Organize > Folder and Search Options. You can also change the filename if you wish, and make sure to remove any hyphens or other symbols from the name.
Go back into iTunes and delete the first shortened AAC clip you converted. Now return to the folder where the .m4r file was created, drag the file into iTunes, and drop it onto your iPhone on the sidebar. Your ringtone is ready to go!
