Volume is a tricky thing. We usually think of sound as "loud" or "soft," but adjusting decibel levels is a delicate craft. Audio engineers and recording artists spend their entire careers tinkering with volume levels. Even at home, your environment, speakers, and stereo system drastically affect the quality of your sound, including the volume.

The clearest example: flat screen TVs.

Every TV comes with internal speakers, and most people are content with those. But flat screens are notorious for unpredictable sound quality. There you are, watching a movie, but the dialogue is tinny and distant. You can barely hear what the characters are saying to each other.

A moment later, there's an explosion and it's so loud that can feel the vibration from your sofa. (By the way, if you think it might be you and not your speakers, while it's no substitute for a visit to a doctor, click here to take an online hearing test.)

Dialogue is the most important part of almost any movie or TV show. If you can't hear the characters on the screen, you can't follow the story.

Luckily, there are ways to "normalize" this sound, so you don’t have to jab your remote control every time something dramatic happens. Here are some simple methods for controlling the volume and enjoying the show.
