The sound issue may be of hardware or software.

Also, you can make a call and put the iPhone on speaker and then press the volume up button from the slider on the side of your phone.

Disable the Noise Cancellation Feature

Noise cancellation is one of the good features that help to listen to music or enhance the calling. But the noise cancellation may be one of the reasons behind the low call volume. To disable the noise cancellation, here are the steps.

Check for DND Mode

DND mode will restrict all notification and call information. Sometimes we put our iPhone to DND mode and forgot to disable it. Disable the DND mode from the settings of your phone and check the speaker’s sound.
