I never thought I would be one of THOSE parents. The ones who hand their kids tech to keep them quiet. I mean, do some parenting, people! Raise your children! Teach them to behave appropriately. Put in the work to engage them, play with them, pay attention to them.
I hear these sweet women suggest waking up before your kids to get the day started with the Word. Or to tell your kids to play in their rooms while mommy spends some time with Jesus. Or to plan a family devotional time where you can all study together. These are all wonderful ideas, and I know actual real people who do these things, and they WORK for them. Not in my house.
Girl, you do what you gotta do to get with Jesus. There are a lot of good, wholesome apps, games, shows and movies out there that will not harm your child for one minute. What they WILL do is give you the time and space to be present with Christ even in the busiest, most demanding seasons of raising littles.

Let us know what you find out.
All the best,
That's the problem of all Apple devices. I also have the same problem with Netflix on the iPhone. The volume is always too low, especially when you use apps. It's really so boring and I really can't understand why we users and owners of these devices cannot set the volume limit as we want.
I will add, however, I watch Netflix with just the built in speaker quite often and have never had a problem. If you have the iPad in a case, you could also try taking it out of the case. Could be partially blocking the speaker.
i have a simular issue i do use bluethooth headphones wired would make no sences for me anyways i tend to watch netflix at work just wondering if anyone found a way maybe to boost the volume? or maybe apple can try and step in and not let an update pass till the volume is rasied, or someone figured out the same old hack for the phat ipod WAAAAAAAYYYYYYY back when!?! lol
So, imagine my surprise when I find this 2019 film called The Silence. Its main plot is about a deaf girl and her family trying to survive when cave-dwelling creatures that hunt by sound start attacking the cities in America.
The beginning lets the audience know how the antagonist creatures are released to the outside world. A duo of cave explorers discovers a new cave system by busting through layers of a sealed cave and end up releasing thousands of winged creatures from the darkness. They are ancient creatures trapped underground that evolved to survive in a cave-like environment. They are blind and hunt their prey by sound. Later in the film, they are named vesps, after Avispa, the Spanish word for wasps, because of the way they swarm their prey.
Then something distracts Ali from the conversation, the family dog Otis barking out the window. The hairs on his back are standing straight up, indicating a dog in attack mode. This is the first time any of the Andrews family is clued into the dangerous happening miles away from their family home.
Later on, Ally becomes aware of what is happening and has her first look at the creatures. On her tablet, Rob shares a video of a horde of vesps in the air. Then the whole family becomes aware of what is happening when the local news broadcasts the story that Pittsburg, Philly, and close small towns are being attacked. One news channel claims things are under control, and everything is a rumor blown out of proportion. At the same time, another shows a video of mutilated bodies on the street, people running in panic.
A cutaway scene shows how people in the city are handling the situation. A group of people are trapped in a subway car trying to keep quiet. A fussy baby starts crying, causing tension to rise in the subway. The baby is thrown off the train along with the mother. She distances herself from the train, trying to calm her baby, when she hears strange sounds coming from the end of the tracks. She causes the baby to start crying again, causing more attention of the vesps to the woman and those in the subway, who honestly have no chance at surviving. It is hard to control the sound made by so many people. There will be screams, shouts, cries of terror, thus leading them to panic and die.
For some reason, the internet is still working, letting Ally know about the vesps and keep in contact with Rob. Rob and Ally facetime where they reminisce about their weekend plans and make a promise to stay in touch through it all.
Her shouting brought the attention of the vesps leading to her death. While the vesps feed on her corpse, Hugh sneaks through a drainage pipe to the other side of the fenced property. His family soon follows through the drainage with Judd leading and Kelly finishing. Judd is faced with a rattlesnake causing a vesps to venture into the pipe. The lone vesps save Judd from a snake bite but another outside soon attacks Kelly.
Hugh and Ally are forced to go to the local pharmacy in search of antibiotics. Inside the pharmacy, they discover half-eaten bodies used as nesting spots for the vesps. As Hugh finds what is needed, a few creatures fly inside, sniffing the air trying to detect the disturbance in their nursery.
Ally spots a fire alarm; she explains to her father for them to escape to they need to use the fire alarm. Hugh sets a mop on fire which triggers the alarm, the blaring sound causing the few vesps to fly around in confusion.
As Hugh and Ally sneak back outside to safety they come across a creepy priest, waiting for them. He wants them to join his flock known as the hush. As they try to leave the priest blocks their path again and again. Finally, they can get away from the crazed priest, as they walk away, he opens his mouth showing his mutilated tongue.
Now that Kelly has given her antibiotics, she is starting to heal up. Ally finds out that the vesps cannot survive in the cold, civilizations in the far north are surviving. On the other hand, huge civilizations are disappearing, disconnecting from the internet, called the grey.
There are even some tapped on the outside windows, all this commotion gains the vesps attention. Hugh collects as many phones are he can, dunking them in water silencing them. The vesps still attacking the windows of the house. Some even breaking in, causing the women to rush down to the basement. There they are ambushed by more of the hush all dressed in black.
The attempt to capture Ally and the family tries to fight back but are eventually overpowered. The three hush members take Ally with Lynn following after them. She tackles the attackers and holds them down while Ally rushes away from the huddle. Lynn makes the final sacrifice play by screaming out while holding down the men. The vesps descend onto the group ending the struggle.
Ally is taken by the priest this time the whole family attacks with silent weapons. Judd stabs someone, Hugh using the empty shotgun and Kelly a knife. Throughout the struggle, Hugh gets stabbed by the priest but finally finishes the fight by beating the priest to death.
After that, the family makes the journey to the refugee, where they make it safely. In the north, there is a body of a wolf with eggs in its carcass. Along with a flying vesp protecting the nest. But the vesp is killed by an arrow wielded by Ally who is hunting for vesps with her reunited love interest, Rob.
Have you ever watched Netflix and noticed the dialogue is too quiet, but the sound effects and music are too loud? This is a problem that many people complain about, and---depending on your TV and home theater setup---it could have a simple fix.
The audio you hear from a movie or TV show is comprised of multiple recordings that have been "mixed" together. There are channels for the actor's dialogue, sound effects, background music, and more. During post-production, the volume level and other audio specifications of the various channels are fine-tuned and mixed for the final product. The goal is to create a balanced audio experience where whispered dialogue, explosions, and everything in between are all balanced perfectly so the viewer is never left wanting to hear key details or enjoy the experience. That's easy to do when you're mixing for a theater setup with specific speakers and known variables. Things can get messy when audio is mixed for multiple environments.
That's one common reason why the dialogue on Netflix, and other streaming services for that matter, is too quiet. The way audio is mixed for different types of media doesn't always translate well to a home setup. Movies and TV shows are usually mixed for surround sound systems, with multiple speakers that can create a more immersive sound experience. The music may be configured to play louder through the speakers behind you, while the dialogue comes through more prominently on the front-facing speakers.
For some reason, Netflix on many platforms, especially smart TVs, defaults to playing audio for 5.1 surround sound. That means it's intended for a surround sound system with five speakers and one subwoofer. This forces your setup to, however well or however terribly, downsample the 5.1 audio to 2.0 audio if you don't have a surround sound system. So if you don't have surround sound, you should change a key setting. Thankfully, it's very easy to do.
