try listening to the music with ear plugs in your ears. that should make it a bit less noisy

Rofl aside....turn the media volume down and your music app volume down.

- Android53 gave you a good answer => you should look for voodoo sound.
- To the five guys who replied first => some peoples may have very sensitive ears. If you don't feel concerned, don't reply. There is no need for bashing replies here.

Is there a less invasive way to do this? Like an app? Like screen filter for brightness settings?
Thank you!

Move the phone a meter back on the desk?

Seriously anyone here may know of a way to update some files to make this ***** louder? My galaxy note 2 have that hack and BOY ITS FREAKING AWESOME MIND BLOWINGLY LOUD LOL

K c'mon man o I'm deaf now come on man take a look around on Google I'm not the only one that having this problem I've been googling for this phone like I said its loud but its not mind boggling or mind blowingly loud

Please ask these questions in the Q&A section.
the speakers are already pretty darn loud. not really much left to do with them.

I would have to agree that they aren't as loud as I though they'd be. I compared it to an Iphone 4s and it's marginally louder... Now the sound quality on the other hand is much richer than any other phone speaker I've ever heard.
A speaker hack would be awesome, as long as it doesn't reduce the sound quality.

Sorry, have to agree with post that says phone is loud enough.
If you feel it's volume is insufficent then either
1) your volume is turned down
2) your device is faulty
3) possible hearing impairment

I don't wish to get into a slanging match with you, or anyone else. I did consider if my response was wise, and hoped that it wouldn't have elicited the response that it did. You obviously have a very different opinion of loud. I did wonder if I was mistaken and you weren't referring to the HTC One . I haven't been influenced in my opinion by anything I read anywhere, my opinion is based solely on listening to my HTC One through its speakers at various volume settings with music and videos.

You telling me you think you tube video is loud on htc one? Dude you're crazy. You must of seriously doing it in library lol

@OP
There's a sony xloud hack scattered in the xda forums. Once you port it on HTC One it should increase the loudness by multiple levels. Take for example my old 2011 HTC Phone. Just 1 level from the lowest setting could make it already sound loud enough for people to hear it clearly within 3 meters.
Whilst when disabled you can't even hear anything unless you put the speaker in your ear and you'll hear only a tiny sound.

So how do we get it to
work..
?

I don't understand why everybody is bagging on this guy cause I made my first phone call with the phone and I was definitely surprised at how NOT LOUD the volume was. I even tried turning it up... definitely was a little inadequate for my taste. I mean I haven't said much said that was only one call and one call only but I seriously would have preferred the volume to have been louder personally.

the speakerphone during the call definitely way too low

The speaker volume in calls is a little too low, I will give you that, but then we are not trying to use the speaker phone in a crowded room or trying to let every single person on a crowded train hear your conversation.
As for youtube and the music app, I have yet to hear a phone best the volume or quality of the HTC One speakers. Iphone ? HAHAHA please don't make me laugh so much i'll bust a gut!
As for Note 2 volume, sure, it might be loud, but for crying out loud, that phone is HUGE!

I think it is safe to say dude you're a htc one fanboy

Low volume

Hi,
I have my xperia sp from one week and i'm satisfact except the volume. It's too low in a call and also in my car bluetooth handsfree. Have you got some dissatisfaction? There are some hidden settings which I can use to solve it?
I came from HTC and I was sure that Sony have to be better in terms of sound and camera but I am a little bit disappoint. Overall pls help me with volume issues.

You can change settings for Headset, Phone Speaker and Bluetooth Device.
I'm not sure about the volume in a call. Maybe it won't get affected. Can't test it right now.
But the described things, like the speaker will get affected and there are some possibilities to
gain volume. Maybe there are some easier ways.
But one thing is for sure, your overall sound quality will rise if you use this driver.

dont blame Sony. Blame EU. Flash any ROM for a non-eu country.

I too had to bear with the low in call volume until I tried the repair function in PC companion. The volume has been excellent since!

Many years ago Sony was one of the first companies to comply with new EU limits on the output of headphone devices, designed to protect the user from over loud sounds. I believe it originated in France. With some makes of music player you could get around this by loading another region's firmware.
It's typical EU "nanny state" legislation. What it unfortunately doesn't take into account is a) not all haedphones have the same sensitivity and b) not all listening environments are equally quiet.
I can't say whether the SPs rather poor maximum headphone output stems from this or has another cause. What does annoy me, and the Sony is not alone in being like it, is how I only seem to have 3 or 4 useable levels all bunched at the top of the control, with large steps between them making fine control impossible, whilst the rest of the volume control seems to do sweet F.A....

prob is not headphone volume, it's low in call volume with the speaker. you simply can't listen to the party at other end in a noisy environment.

My SP is satysfing me fully, I haven't problem

I tried to repair firmware with PC companion and nothing changed...I have not seen any improvements. After that I put CWM on the phone and burn a non_EU Stock Rom ( I though from Russia)....other bad news...mu mobile data stop working even I put a new APN from Vodafone Romania. Also low volume in call on speaker was the same. The last I revert to a Vodafone stock ROM from Spain and I thing it's working a little bit better but not satisfactory.
I can't listen the other end in a noisy environment.

I'm sorry I'm just an ordinary user with no technical knowledge. I saw on Sony's support forum that they suggest repairing to resolve many issues so I thought I'd give it a try.
All I did was link up my phone and computer, run repair and follow on-screen instructions entirely. Once finished my phone's internal speaker becomes much louder.

no, its software.
Heres to hoping they fix the low headset volume, and High BT volume experienced on some headsets (that last one is my biggest gripe with the phone)

turkishness -> In my Nexus 5 I haven't got the same sound volume concerning the SMS and when I play a video. I think (hope ) it's software issue

Now we just need to wait for the rollout to start and for some nice chap to post the ota zip and then we can all sideload it right away.

I think the sound problem is software, they just won't let us turn it up loud enough.

Increase Speaker/Headphone Volume

It's a pretty common fact now that compared to most other smart phones, the Droid Turbo volume just does not get very loud, in fact it's rather quiet. I'm not looking to blow out my ears, but I'd like to be able to comfortably hear who I'm speaking with on the phone (w/o distortion), and having sufficient (it's at least a few notches lower than my previous iphone 5s) volume through the headphones is absolutely essential for me as the music player is the most important part of the phone for me, aside from call/text. How do I increase the volume? I believe it can be found in the build script, but it seems a little more in-depth than other phones. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

My wife called me the other day. She was so loud that I was able to put it on my lap and both me and my daughter could hear her. I didn't even have to use the speaker phone.

Anyone else?

When there is any sort of natural noise from outside or out in the public, it is noticeably quieter than any smartphone I've had, other than the 2013 moto x, so it seems to be a modern Motorola thing. I know this is an easy fix for someone who is informed. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Can anyone help me please?

Nobody has an answer because there is no fix. Root is needed to modify volumes past stock.
Turn off audio effects for headphone. Place speaker grille (not glass) at the middle of your ear when talking. Use custom ringtones for increased volume if the stock ones aren't loud enough.
I personally find it all to be plenty loud.

Prove me wrong then. Modify it without root.

Could it be the call privacy settings?
Phone -> Settings -> Voice Privacy (mine is set to off)
Settings -> Sound -> Audio Effects (should be off)
I personally think that the phone is too quiet as well.. Definitely doesn't pass the shower test. I should be able to hear my phone playing music over the sound of the shower and the bathroom fan at the same time - I can't.

I went through multiple replacements for this issue. Evidently, the new unit I received (assembled 12/15/14) does not exhibit a volume problem. I think there is an issue with many of the units out in the wild, but it is unclear if there will be/can be a software fix without root. For those with defective devices, no amount of settings changes to the stock software seem to work. I would contact Verizon wile you have the opportunity to do so. Keep in mind, however, that you are opening a can of worms. It might take a few replacements to get one with better volume.

Voice Privacy lowers volume? Mine was checked...

I really noticed the low volume of this phone and I made a patch to make it higher, it only works for Moto maxx at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it can be achieved in droid turbo via android sdk adb commands I need to keep reading about it.

Could to share the patch?

Negatory. that is a proprietary setup and adb, well it isn't.

So it is correct that nothing can be done until we achieve root?
