When you listen to Apple Music, you may notice that the volume level decreases significantly, or there is some variance in volume between songs. Apple Music’s low volume typically indicates an issue with your Apple Music settings, or that the songs are set to play at different volumes. Both of these issues can easily be fixed by adjusting your Apple Music settings.
If you’re wondering how to make Apple Music louder, you’re not alone. You might spend a significant amount of time curating playlists and subscribing to your favorite podcasts, but if your Apple Music volume is too low, you won’t be able to enjoy them. Fortunately, there are other methods to boost the volume and improve your listening experience on Apple Music – here’s how.
Apple Music Sound Check feature adjusts the sound level so that all songs play at the same volume. While this feature makes music playback more seamless, it frequently prevents Apple Music songs from playing loud enough. To resolve this problem, you can disable Sound Check.

The volume level of Dolby Atmos and Lossless Audio compatible songs is noticeably lower than the Stereo mode. This is because Dolby Atmos and Lossless Audio are treated very differently from standard 256kbps songs. Dolby Atmos tracks are generally quieter than regular stereo mixes due to the threshold of -18 dBfs set by Dolby. This is done to allow for a greater dynamic range and a better listening experience. Luckily, you can easily disable Dolby Atmos and Lossless Audio in Apple Music.
