Definition
音量 (yīnliàng) means the loudness or volume of sound — the setting you adjust on a speaker or phone. It is distinct from 体积 (physical volume of an object) and 容量 (capacity of a container), which also translate to 'volume' in English but refer to space. It also differs from 声音, which simply means 'sound' or 'voice' without a loudness setting.
