volume button

Audio level adjuster

A volume button is a control that adjusts how loud or quiet audio plays on a device—phones, televisions, stereos, car radios.

Most devices have two: one to increase volume, one to decrease it.

Physical volume buttons are typically located on the side of handheld devices or the front of larger equipment.

Hit the volume button—I can't hear anything.
