Apple has released a new update to its Noise Detection feature for iPhone, which now allows users to create and record their own alert sounds instead of relying on the pre-programmed options for household, personal, and ambient sounds to alert deaf users to actions in their environment. This new feature is great for those who want to be alerted when there are any noises in their environment, whether it’s someone coming home or something important happening outside. To use the new noise detection feature on your iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app and select “ Noise Detection” from the left hand side of the screen.
- Under “Sounds”, select “Alert Sounds” and then click on the “Create Alert Sound” button.
