Extra! Extra! Making Apple Music Extra Loud
Sound Check Savior: This nifty feature in the Music app settings ensures all your songs play at a similar volume. No more jolting between ear-splitting bangers and whisper-soft ballads. (Music app > Settings > Playback > Sound Check)
EQ Experimentation (Use with Caution): The Music app also has an equalizer. Now, this can be a bit tricky, but some settings can enhance the perceived loudness.
