See it, and hear it
Watch Android's own slider run out of room, then watch the dial keep going below it. The audio in the video drops with every step on screen.
When the lowest setting is still too loud
The first notch above mute can be too much for a quiet room, a sleeping baby, or a sensitive pair of headphones, on a phone or a tablet. Android will not go lower. Granular Volume does, on both.
Quieter than minimum
Fine volume steps beneath the lowest hardware step, for when even the minimum is too much.
The whole range on screen
Above the device-minimum line the slider sets normal system volume, so it stands in for worn or broken volume buttons. Even 5 dB steps on speaker and wired; on Bluetooth it follows your device's real hardware steps, so every bar is audible.
Mutes media, not alarms
One tap silences media and leaves the alarm volume where it was. The quiet steps do lower alarms too, so test your level before a morning you cannot miss.
Phones and tablets alike
Tablets often have an even higher minimum volume than phones. Granular Volume works exactly the same way on both.
A floating volume control
It floats over any app. Drag it anywhere, tuck it to an edge, close it with one tap.
No takeover
Your buttons and the system panel keep working. The dial sits on top as an overlay and controls only the level.
Quick Settings tile
Swipe down, tap once. Toggle the control on or off from your notification shade without opening the app.

Made for quiet moments
The volume you reach for at night, on a phone or a tablet.
Sleep and white noise
Keep lullabies and white noise barely audible next to a sleeping baby.
Sensitive headphones
For IEMs and bone conduction where even a few percent is too strong.
Tablet speakers
Tablet speakers and headphones, where the minimum step is often even louder than on a phone.
Late night listening
A podcast or audiobook to fall asleep to, without waking anyone beside you.
Quiet rooms
A library, a quiet office, meditation, or anywhere that needs calm.
Samsung Galaxy too loud
Galaxy phone, tablet, or Buds still too loud at the lowest step, when Sound Assistant doesn't help.
Earbuds too loud
When one Bluetooth step is too big a jump, and the lowest is still too loud in your ears.
Calls too loud
When the earpiece or speakerphone stays too loud at the lowest step, in a quiet room or late at night.
Already tried everything?
Limiter apps, EQ presets, fine-step tools, Normalize Volume, none of it moved the floor. Here's why, and what does.
Pixel calls too loud
Check the hearing aid setting first, then the in-call floor itself. Covers Pixel 6, 7, 8, 9 and 9a.
Alarm too loud
The alarm slider is on step one and still jolts you awake. Also covers ringtones and notifications.
Why the floor exists
The lowest step is a decision in Android's audio mixer, not a fault in your phone. Where the limit comes from, and what can move it.
Volume buttons not working
Stuck, stiff or dead volume keys. The free fixes first, then a slider on screen that stands in for them.
Sensitive ears
Quieter levels than the minimum for sensitive hearing. A comfort utility, not a medical device.

One slider, the whole range
Most volume apps make things louder or rebuild your whole audio system. Granular Volume covers your normal range and then keeps going where they stop: below the minimum.
Get the volume you were missing, on your phone or tablet
After you install, open it once and allow it to display over other apps. That is the entire setup.
