Boost quiet speech
+3 or +6 dB can be a practical starting point for a recording that is simply too quiet.
Raise the level of quiet audio with a simple gain adjustment, then export it in a practical format. Use this page when the main goal is making a file louder.
Try a different file or output format.
Use a fixed gain boost when speech, music or a recording is noticeably too quiet. This increases signal level but is not the same as loudness normalization.
+3 or +6 dB can be a practical starting point for a recording that is simply too quiet.
Negative gain lowers the whole signal when a file is consistently too loud.
Large positive gain can distort peaks that are already near full scale.
Choose MP3, WAV, FLAC or another supported audio source.
Use a small positive value to boost or a negative value to reduce volume.
The gain filter is applied while creating the new audio file.
Boosting gain can clip loud peaks. If the source is already close to maximum level, a smaller increase is safer.
Use a focused tool when you know the task, or open the universal converter for full format control.
It applies a substantial gain increase to the signal. Perceived loudness depends on the source material.
Yes. Negative dB options reduce the signal level.
No. This tool applies a fixed gain. Full loudness normalization is a different process.
