How to Enable Reduce Loud Sounds Feature on iPhone or iPad?

If you’re like me, you probably enjoy listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks on your iPhone or iPad. But sometimes, the volume can get too loud and damage your ears, especially if you’re using headphones or earbuds. Sometimes long-term hearing or listening to anything using headphones or earbuds causes negative consequences on your hearing capability too.  That’s why Apple has a handy feature called Reduce Loud Sounds, which lets you limit the maximum volume of your device. Let’s see how to enable Reduce Loud Sounds features on your iPhone or iPad and protect your hearing.

Reduce Lound Sounds Feature Options

You can adjust the volume level of your devices with the Headphone Safety feature (Reduce Loud Sounds). It has different options that correspond to how loud the sound is in real life. Here are the options and some examples of what Apple compares them to:

• 100 dB stands for as loud as an ambulance siren.
• 95 dB stands for as loud as a car horn.
• 90 dB stands for as loud as a motorcycle.
• 85 dB stands for as loud as heavy city traffic.
• 80 dB stands for as loud as a noisy restaurant.
• 75 dB stands for as loud as a vacuum cleaner.

Note: dB stands for decibels.

Reduce Lound Sounds Feature warns you when the volume is too high and could damage your hearing. You can turn it on and tweak it however you like.
