Why is Sonos Voice response audio so loud?

The Sonos voice audio response is so loud and out of sync with the level of music that we are playing. I see some other posts from quite a while ago discussing this and they are closed for further comment so I’m posting a new one.

I just got our second era 100 So our children could use the built-in voice control to play music so that I don’t have to give them screen devices to control it. However, The Sonos voice response is so loud it practically shakes the walls. It’s obnoxious and I’m about to turn off voice control, and that basically makes the whole use case useless.

is there a solution for this?

    Hi ​@tfortan 

    Welcome to the Sonos Community!

    At present, there is no way to control any Voice Assistant volume independently from the speaker volume, and we (as far as I am aware) have never identified a case where they were actually at different volumes.

    I can tag this thread as a feature request, however. Just please be aware that this has been asked for before - I do not know the reasoning behind the lack of change so far, but there’s certainly no harm in requesting the feature again.

    Thank you - I've marked this thread as a feature request and it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration. Keep the ideas coming!

    I hope this helps.

    I have this same issue. There is a bug.

    SVC ignores volume limits set on devices. So my daughter has a limit set to 30%. Music respects that limit but SVC seems to ignore it. That’s why there is such a difference in volume.

    The Sonos voice response is tied to system notification volume, not music level. In the Sonos app you can lower or disable voice response confirmations, but fine tuning isn’t available yet.

    Where is the setting to lower it?
