Has anyone noticed that the sound volume of the iPhone 16 Pro, especially the VoiceOver speech, fluctuates all the time?

Hello friends, I hope and wish you all are well.

I bought a new iPhone 16 Pro, and I could notice something curious during use: depending on the situation, the sound volume seems to decrease and increase automatically. I'm not talking about the volume percentage, it remains unchanged, but it seems that the sound is reduced by a certain amount of decibels.

I could notice that the sound decreases when the system detects that it may be too loud, but I can't disable this function.

Has anyone noticed this in this or other iPhone models? Does it happen to have to do with iOS 18?

Thank you very much for the comments.

Hi Ricardo: I've noticed this especially when I'm reading about a show or movie on Netflix. When I exit the app, volume returns to where I set it.

I can't guarantee that this will work, but it did for me. All I had to do was turn the equalizer off on the voices I'm using, and that fixed it for me. I've offered this solution to other people, and some say it worked for them, and others had no luck. I guess all you can do is try and see what happens.
