And I'm not exaggerating here. With the phone less than a foot away from me, you can barely hear the notification sounds, so forget about hearing them with the phone in your pocket. Sounds for ringtones and alarms are quite loud, so this isn't a hardware issue, but seems like a software issue where Sony is intentionally lowering the volume on notifications.
None of the reviews have mentioned this, which is incredible how something so basic can be overlooked.
This isn't just me: there are hundreds of posts on both XDA and Sony's forums with the same issue:

EDIT: /u/slinky317's suggestion here seems to have helped: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2n6j1y/this_needs_more_visibility_on_xperia_z3_phones/cmckasq
