I've often wondered how to make Spotify louder. As a regular train commuter, I know first hand that the podcast which seemed loud enough in the office can often seem comparatively quiet when on a noisy train, even when using a pair of the best wireless headphones.
There are also times when songs themselves are a bit quieter than the rest of your library, perhaps due to age, mastering, or both. And if you're playing your Spotify music through speakers, you may well find that the maximum volume available via your phone, laptop or the speakers just isn't loud enough to satisfy the demands of the party.
Thankfully, there's a super easy way to make Spotify louder, and it can be done on both the smartphone and desktop apps.
If you're looking to crank that tune up, here's how to make Spotify louder.
But first, a word of caution: if you're using headphones, remember that loud noise can damage your hearing over the long term if you're exposed to it regularly. Use this method sensibly and cautiously if intending to up the headphone volume of already loud music.
