How do I keep that awful system volume low? The annoying click click is too loud and it keeps going back up. Anyway to fix it? Am I doing something wrong that makes it go up constantly? Can I disable the clicking noise?
Check the keyboard setting , turn off key sound. Simple.
There is also a separate system volume setting under sounds.

Use Tasker
I know what you mean about the system volume. I always listen to music on my train commute, which takes a lot of media audio adjustment due to varying external noise levels. Turns out, on my Samsung Vibrant, if you adjust the media audio, the system volume level adjusts as well, so I'd get to work and my phone would sound CLICK CLICK CLICK at an embarassingly high level until I adjusted the system volume back down. What a pain in the butt.
Just created a profile in the Tasker app, though, that should take care of it. For context, I am using Time = 00:00 to 23:59 and then created a task of System Volume = 1. My initial tests are good and adjusting other volume levels doesn't seem to affect the system volume level.
"Settings" > "Sound and display" > uncheck "Audible selection"
And while you're there, you might as well uncheck "Audible touch tones" and turn "System volume" all the way down
Using navigation in Google Maps turns the system volume to max... Presumably because the text-to-speech engine that it uses plays at system volume and they want you to be able too hear it.

I'm looking to get move volume options on my rooted Captivate 2.2.
Right now the system sounds are too loud for me....even after replacing the selection sounds...still too loud. The volume levels are stock 1-7...I want lower sound than the current lowest of 1.....Is there any way?.
I enjoy the feedback of sounds ...but the current sound level 1 is just too high
Thanks
Jim

You can barely hear level 1. Do you live in a library or what?
assonance 5.2
I think he is talking about when he plugs in headphones into his Captivate. I agree with him, it's way too loud. And I haven't found a way to make it softer either.
On my Captivate level 1 is still too loud for the system "click" sound...I like it more subtle. My HTC Aria gives me much more control over the system sounds and I just want to get the same on the captivate.

I too am annoyed by the system sounds...the "clicking" when navigating through the menus. I like the feedback and setting the volume low for the system sound works great for me (I don't normally use headphones). The problem is, every so often, the volume gets turned back up. Why is it doing this? And how do I get it to "stick". I haven't really found a rhyme or reason -- I can reboot and the volume will still be set how I had it....other times I can just turn the screen on and the volume will be turned back up.
Ghosts?
I believe if you dial *#*#197328640#*#* it gets you into a menu where #5 is audio. It's possible you can mess around in there and adjust the volume levels
why not just turn the system volume down and leave the others at regular volume high ?
How come when I put my phone on silent mode and I launch some apps like dillo hills the in game sound still plays? Am I making some huge mistake?

Though a jerkish thing to do, programs can override the ringer mode through the audio manager.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html#setRingerMode(int)
wow that's terrible. Maybe an app I can download that will override everything and make all applications silent? Because when the media volume is all the way down then you cant hear it.
Yes. the media volume controls the sound in most apps, games, music, video, etc. When "silent" mode is on, it only mutes the ringer, notification, and system sounds.
I've just adapted to turning the media volume down before going to class/somewhere "important" if I were listening to music beforehand as I usually do. Or just going to settings and turning it down before running an app that may have sounds.
I notice that in the options menu, you can change media volume, ring volume, alarm volume, and notification volume. From what I understand, system sounds such as the lock/unlock noise, audio feedback from item selection, and more, are determined by media volume. Which is the same volume used to play music/video files. I wish they were separate options as sometimes I want my music to play softly but I system sounds to be full volume. Would this be possible in a custom ROM or is it an issue with the hardware?
Have you tried a 3rd part volume manager to see if it works? All of them give you the option to adjust only system volume. I use volume Ace
I use Quick Settings
Ok, I don't know if anybody else has noticed this, but for some reason when using any music app that has a equalizer function, when you max out the loudness it slowly lowers the volume back to a predetermined level.
if you wish to recreate this, follow these steps.
1.download poweramp trial or the equalizer app.
2. after installing, play some music. Make sure that your volume level is maxed.
3. while the track playing, if using poweramp, go to the preamp and raise the left slider all the way up. You will hear the volume raise, and it should gradually lower back to the way it was before you raised the slider.
If you are using the equalizer app, go to the custom level screen and click maximum level for all the sliders. The same effect will happen as with poweramp.
4. For further proof, after putting it at the maximum boost that you can, lower it back to the normal levels. The volume will be very low, and then slowly raise back the max that it was before.
This basically makes the equalizers useless. I'm wondering why HTC added this feature, because its very annoying...
Bump?

Hi, as everyone know, there are 3 different volume in our nexus 5.
First is Music, video,games & other media.
Second: Ringtone & notification.
Third: Alarm.
Usually if I'm in class, I would press the volume down button until I'm at vibration mode. Then sometimes when I got bored in class and start playing with my phone, the volume will be very loud when i forgot to turn off the sound for games when i was looking at some youtube video or playing some games.
This is really annoying. What's the point of changing to silent mode when there is still volume at the games or video? I know iphone have the toggle for silent mode and that is seriously way useful than this.
You can always install expandable volume controls via xposed or custom ROM.
I know it is frustrating and an overlooked feature I think. When I first got my nexus 5 I was like come on guys you didn't fix this?

Yeah I have the same issue with the sound on this like the OP. Been using 3rd part apps like Llama and Silent Scheduler to quickly change/view sound settings from notification drawer. Works well but I wish something like this built in the OS.

Have you ever run into a bug where you set a task to change the media volume to 8 or higher automatically, upon connecting headphones? It seems half the time it gets stuck at 6 or 7, presumably because the volume level warning message never gets its chance to show up.

No actually I haven't had a chance to program tasker that much yet. The only task I have set for it so far is to play the TF2 medic sound byte "I am fully charged!" when my battery level gets 100% when charging
I know this isn't quite the answer your looking for as far as just turning the volume down to disable all sounds but just some suggestions... I use expandable volume control and You could go into settings/profile and set a quiet profile or go to settings/sounds and set quiet hours.
