volume down

Decrease the sound

Volume down is a control that decreases audio output level, typically found as a button on devices or remote controls: Hit volume down, this is too loud.

The phrase functions as both a label and a command.

In casual speech, it can be a request to lower the sound: Volume down, please—I'm on a call.
