Mac – How to limit the volume of sound effects in Finder

findermacsound-volume

Sometimes I have my mac on full volume (maybe because I am / was listening to a song). Then I move a file in finder, or put something in the trash; finder plays the "move file" sound at full volume and it breaks my eardrums 😀

Is there a way to limit the volume of sound effects on finder?

Best Answer

In System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects ... set Alert volume to the level you want.

This will also control the volume of the event sounds played in Finder.

You can also uncheck [] Play user interface sound effects to not have them play at all.
