SoundVolume

is an option to Sound and SoundNote and related functions that specifies the relative volume of the sound produced.

Details

  • SoundVolume->v specifies that a sound should be rendered at a fraction v of its default volume.
  • SoundVolume specifications in nested Sound objects are multiplied.
  • SoundVolume in the outermost sound construct refers to sound volume relative to the default volume level on your computer system.
  • Effective SoundVolume values larger than 1 may lead to distorted sounds.
