Has anyone else noticed how loud this phone is?

LOL...I seriously thought I was in the minority on this one, but people have even complained to me about how loud the Note 3 is. I usually attribute that to my having perfected the cuffing technique (for the most part), which amplifies the sound a 'bit. I've seen more people complain about the phone being too soft, as compared to being "too loud," but I've found it to be louder than the Note 2.

Even without my cuffing the phone, so the sound is amplified, it seems to amplify off tables just as much. I'm sure, if I compared it to a HTC One, I might feel differently (due to the HTC One's front speakers), but overall I've been more than happy with how loud the Note 3 is.

For lowering system volume, I usually just hit the volume button once and then hit the cog/setting button on the right of the pop-up, and adjust the volume accordingly. At work, I have a quick profile setting that I toggle on, so that my notifications aren't so loud.

Drex, are you using an app for sound profiles or am I missing something? Just got my Note 3 after using Moto products for a long time. Looking for something to replace Moto's Smart Actions.

I bought tasker, but I have to sit down and really read into that b4 I use it...way more complicated than people make it sound.

I was planning on using nfc tags I had from note 2, but I watched a video mentioning that the ones I have won't work.
