Well there doesn't seem to be much consistency between what many of us are hearing then. The alarms a very quiet on mine. I guess as usual Amazon has not figured out how to get the FW working properly. I certainly won't trust my Alexa devices to set an alarm, reminder, or a timer as I would possibly not hear it. Yes, I could turn up the volume, but no I shouldn't have to. A kluge solution is no solution in my opinion. Perhaps Amazon could add the ability to set a separate volume just for an alarm, reminder, or a timer, but that would make too much sense, so they probably never will.
