How to Adjust Song Volume in iTunes: If a song you’re listening to in iTunes isn’t playing at the right volume level maybe it’s way too loud, or maybe it’s way too quiet and doesn’t play loud enough for you you can raise the volume level of any song in your iTunes Library individually. Also, if a song is too loud, you can turn down the volume using the same controls, which are a simple slider.
This ability to change the volume of a song works in all versions of iTunes for Mac and Windows, and the changes are made through the settings for each song. This is a very easy setting to change. Here’s what you should do:
How to Adjust Song Volume in iTunes
- Open iTunes and navigate to the song you want to adjust the audio level for
- Right click on the song name and select “Get Info”
- Click on the ‘Options’ tab
- Slide the Volume Adjustment slider in the direction you want to change:
- Increase a songs volume by sliding all the way to the right
- Decrease a songs volume by sliding all the way to the left
- Anywhere in between works well for finer adjustments to a songs volume level, 0% is the default playback volume for a song
- Click OK to set the change for that song
What is iTunes?
iTunes is a piece of software that lets you add to, organize, play, and sync your digital media collection on your computer. It’s a jukebox player like Songbird and Windows Media Player, and you can use it on a Mac or a PC. iTunes is different from some other media players because it has an iTunes Store built right in.
In the iTunes Store, you can buy podcasts, apps for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, music videos, movies, audiobooks, and TV shows. iTunes also works in different ways with Apple’s iPhone and iPod portable media player. iTunes is a piece of software that lets you add to, organize, play, and sync your digital media collection on your computer.

FAQs
If the volume doesn’t stay the same from track to track, it could be because the file, recording, or type of music being played is different. Sound Check is a feature on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod that makes all of the tracks about the same level of loudness on average.
Some songs are created louder than others. For example, you might notice that some stereo songs sound louder than Dolby Atmos songs. Sound Check adjusts the loudness between different songs to play at the same volume.
Assuming your main output meters are showing levels close to peaking without actually peaking (if they’re not close, simply turn up your output level!), your track sounds quiet because there is too much of a difference between the volume of the loudest parts and the average volume of the whole song.
Stereo and digital sets with “surround (or enhanced) sound” tend to enhance the low and high ranges (which is where the music is), while ignoring or dampening the mid-range (which is where the voice usually is).
