volume up

Amplify the sound

Volume up is a command or action to increase audio loudness, typically on electronic devices.

The phrase appears on buttons, remote controls, and touchscreens: Hit volume up a couple times, I can barely hear it.

It functions as both instruction and description of the control itself.
