Method 2: Increase Your Volume on Your Device or App
First, check the volume on the device you're listening to music on or on the Apple Music App.
Increase Volume on the Apple Music App
iTunes or the Music app provides volume control. Adjusting the volume in the app is simple. First, open the Apple Music app on your device and play a few random songs. Then, go to your play bar (always at the bottom of the screen). You'll see a volume slider that you can slide left or right to increase or decrease the volume. If you feel the volume is not loud enough, you can swipe right to make Apple Music louder.
Increase Volume on iPhone, Android, or Tablet
The volume control buttons on mobile devices such as iPhones, Androids, and tablets are usually on the side. Sometimes you may accidentally press the volume button, so the volume is not loud enough. You can press the volume button to adjust the volume or call the mobile assistant to help you adjust it. For example, on iPhone, you can ask the mobile assistant Siri to help you complete the command.
Increase Volume on Windows or Mac
The volume icon is usually in the bottom right corner on Windows, while on a Mac it is in the top right corner. You can click the volume icon to see if the volume on your computer is too low, making Apple Music too quiet. If it is, drag it to the right to increase the volume of Apple Music.
Increase Volume on Apple Watch
If you're playing Apple Music on your Apple Watch, you can see what's playing when turning on your Apple Watch. You can adjust the volume by turning the Digital Crown.
Method 3: Turn off Sound Check
Sound Check is a feature provided by Apple Music that helps keep the volume of different songs the same. Due to differences in mixing and mastering techniques, the volume may suddenly increase when you listen to a playlist. If you turn on Sound Check, this will not happen. If you think the volume of a song is particularly low, you may want to try turning off the Sound Check feature.
Turn off Sound Check on iPhone
To turn off Sound Check on your iPhone, first find "Settings", then scroll down and click on "Music" and you'll see "Sound Check". Tap on it and it will be turned off.
Turn off Sound Check on Mac
To turn off Sound Check on your Mac, first open the Music App, navigate the "Music" in the menu bar, and select "Preferences". Then click "Playback" and you will see the "Sound Check". Turn off it, and listen to Apple Music again to see if it is solved.
Method 4: Use EQ to Make Apple Music Louder
The EQ (equalizer) is a tool that adjusts audio frequencies, allowing users to enhance or reduce the sound of specific frequency bands, such as bass, mids, and treble. Adjusting certain frequency bands may make people feel that the overall volume has changed. For example, enhancing the bass and treble may make the music sound louder. But turning up the equalizer may actually affect the sound quality and even cause distortion. Many users mentioned that setting the EQ to "Late Night" may make Apple Music louder, but this reduces the bass, which you may not like. So you can try different EQs to get the best volume the way you like. Next, let's take a look at how to use the EQ.
Turn on EQ on iPhone
To use the EQ on your iPhone, first tap "Settings" > "Music", and you will see "EQ". Tap it and you can try different equalizers. If you don't like any of them, you can also turn off EQ directly.
Turn on EQ on Mac
Open the Music app on your Mac, click "Window" > "Equalizer" from the menu bar, and then you will see the Equalizer. You can choose the one you like or try more to find the one that suits you best.
Method 5: Turn Off Headphone Safety
If you usually listen to music with headphones, you can check the Headphone Safety function. In order to protect your hearing, Headphone Safety will automatically reduce the volume of some louder songs. First, go to your phone's Settings, then find "Sounds & Haptics", scroll down to find "Headphone Safety". Then turn off "Reduce Loud Audio" and make sure the button is gray. This way your phone will no longer automatically lower the volume of some songs.
Method 6: Turn Off Dolby Atmos
Dolby Atmos is a three-dimensional surround sound technology. It gives users a more realistic immersion and is ideal for movies, music, and games. In the case of music, stereo tracks may be louder than Dolby Atmos tracks. So if you want Apple Music to be louder, consider turning off Dolby Atmos, as described below.
Turn off Dolby Atmos on iPhone
Tap on your phone's settings and then "Music" > "Dolby Atmos". And you can see three options, "Automatic", "Always On", and "Off". Tap on "Off", then you can turn off Dolby Atmos.
Turn off Dolby Atmos on Mac
If you want to turn off Dolby Atmos on your Mac, then open Apple Music, select "Music" > "Preferences" from the menu bar, and then select the "Playback" tab. And please choose "Off" from "Automatic", "Always On", and "Off".
Method 7: Turn on Lossless Audio
Apple Music audio files are usually in AAC or ALAC format. In general, you'll get better sound quality and higher volume when you listen to Apple Music in lossless audio. If you find the volume on Apple Music too low, try turning on lossless audio.
Turn on Lossless Audio on iPhone
The steps are similar to the above. Open the settings on your phone, then find "Music" > "Audio Quality", and enable "Lossless Audio".
Turn on Lossless Audio on Mac
Open Apple Music on your Mac. Then click "Music" > "Preferences" > "Playback". You will see the Audio Quality section. Enable "Lossless Audio", and you will listen to music in lossless audio.
Method 8: Use Headphones to Listen to Apple Music
Sometimes you feel that the volume of Apple Music is low just because you are in a noisy environment or the speaker is blocked by dust. If you want to listen to music at this time, you might as well wear headphones to play music via Bluetooth.
