Help Weird Sound Problem

[MoneyAddyct]

Ok, so I have the sound level for 'notifications' maxed out. And when I actually play the sound that I choose it's as loud as can be. However, when I actually receive a text message and the sound goes off, it's quite a bit lower than the maxed level I heard when I set it. I went back to the Sound setting and its still maxed out. Any ideas?

I've noticed that changes in the "system level" can have an effect on notification ringtone levels on some devices (but not all).
