# Audio Set Volume Set the volume to a specific level (percent or dB) > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-set-volume - **Category:** Media - **Keywords:** audio, volume, set, gain ## Overview The Audio Set Volume tool allows you to adjust the loudness of an audio file to a precise level, using either percentage or decibel scaling, and export it in your chosen format. ## Inputs - **Audio File** (file): Select an audio file - **Mode** (select) - **Target Level** (number): e.g., 100 (percent) or -3 (dB) - **Output Format** (select) ## When to use - When you need to increase or decrease the volume of a single audio recording for better clarity. - When normalizing audio levels to ensure consistency across different files or segments. - When preparing audio for playback on devices with specific volume requirements, such as mobile phones or speakers. ## How it works - Upload your audio file in a supported format like MP3 or WAV. - Select the volume adjustment mode: percent for linear scaling or decibels for logarithmic control. - Enter the target volume level, such as 120% for a boost or -6 dB for reduction. - Choose the output format, such as MP3 or FLAC, and process the file to download the adjusted audio. ## Use cases - Boosting podcast audio volume for listeners in noisy environments like commutes or public spaces. - Normalizing interview recordings to consistent levels before editing in audio production software. - Reducing volume of loud audio files to prevent distortion when played on sensitive equipment. ## Frequently asked questions ### What audio file formats can I upload? You can upload common audio formats including MP3, WAV, AAC, and others supported by the audio/* file type. ### How does percent mode differ from dB mode? Percent mode scales volume linearly (100% is original), while dB mode uses a logarithmic scale for finer adjustments, where 0 dB is a reference level. ### Can I adjust volume for multiple files at once? No, this tool processes one audio file per operation. Upload a single file to modify its volume. ### What is the range for the volume level? The level can be set from -80 to 1000 in the selected mode, allowing for significant increases or decreases in volume. ### Which output formats are available? You can export the adjusted audio in MP3, AAC, M4A, OGG, Opus, FLAC, or WAV formats. ## Related tools - [Audio Add Silence](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-add-silence): Add a specified duration of silence to the start or end of an audio file - [Audio Band-Pass Filter](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-band-pass-filter): Allow only a specific band of frequencies to pass - [Batch Audio Normalize](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-batch-normalize): Normalize multiple audio files to a target peak level with consistent volume across the batch - [Audio Caption Timing Shifter](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-caption-timing-shifter): Shift SRT or WebVTT captions to a likely speech onset or by a manual offset. - [Extract Center Channel](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-center-channel-extract): Extract the center channel from a surround audio file or video audio track - [Audio Change Bitrate](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-change-bitrate): Re-encode audio to a new bitrate while keeping the same format - [Audio Declipper](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-declip): Repair clipped audio by reconstructing peaks that exceeded the maximum amplitude.
