This application provides a volume adjustment method and an electronic device. The method includes: the electronic device displaying a
volume setting prompt box in response to a user's first input to a
volume setting control, wherein the
volume setting prompt box includes a volume
level number setting box; the electronic device, in response to the user's input of a first value in the volume
level number setting box, after determining the first value as the volume
level number, determining the volume increment of each volume level based on the minimum
loudness difference threshold corresponding to the
sound pressure level to which the volume level belongs, and then displaying a volume adjustment control matching the volume level number. The user can readjust the volume based on the adjusted volume adjustment control. When adjusting the volume based on the adjusted volume adjustment control, the user can perceive the
volume change with their ear for each volume level adjustment, which not only improves the user experience but also makes it easier for the user to adjust to the target volume.
