We flew a MAX. Several times in all phases of ground and flight ops; the MAX alerting systems loudly came through the headsets interrupting our ability to hear ATC. 'APPROACHING RUNWAY'; 'ON RUNWAY'; 1000 ft.; altitude alerting; '2500'; '1000'; etc.; sound through the aircraft headset rather than the speakers. Volume is not controllable. We were required several times to ask ATC to repeat themselves. In a very busy communications environment; this is unnecessarily distracting.
B737 MAX First Officer reported the aircraft alerting system volume is extremely loud. Alerts interrupt all other communications.
