Answer 1

Try setting the AudioSession:

#import <AudioToolbox/AudioToolbox.h>

AVAudioSession *audioSession = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
NSError *err = nil;         
[audioSession setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback  error:&err];
AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);         
//or: AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);
