volume control
Sound level regulator
Volume control is a mechanism for adjusting loudness—a dial on a stereo, a slider on a screen, buttons on a remote.
The term applies to both the physical device and the function it performs: Where's the volume control on this thing?
Figuratively, someone who lacks volume control speaks too loudly in inappropriate settings.
