: [How Too] Cannot set volume low enough

I've had my new Samsung S2 a week now and I find I'm unable to lower the Message and Ringtone alerts volume low enough!

I work in an office environment and would like to put all alerts/ring-tones on a very low volume setting (whisper quiet, not silent) during office hours. Problem is I find that the lowest volume setting is still too loud, It would be great to have a few increments between the lowest and silent.

Is this just me??? :confused:

Any hack or tricks to be able to do this? would be good to do without installing any additional app/widget

Cheers for any help.

How quiet is quiet??
In Settings > Sound > Volumes the 'sound bar' on my S2 is variable and goes very quiet.
Perhaps a combination of that and the actual alert is where your solution is.

EDIT: There's also the option of a bluetooth earpiece or headphones.

Thanks greenman, your right - volume levels definitely can be subjective. I did try setting the alert to a alternate mellower tune to get around this but with no joy,I still find the jump from silent to the lowest volume level to high.

Yes, I could set my phone to vibrate or silent for use in the office - I'm just bummed I cannot set it to a super low level as I've been able to do with all my phones prior to my SG2. (same tones btw)
