[Geek]

<p>Mac OS X has a hidden super quiet volume setting that is somewhere between completely muted and the lowest volume level, here’s how to access it:</p>

<ul>

<li>Use the volume decrease key (F10) until the volume is muted, signified by the volume graphic with a slash through it</li>

<li>Now press the Mute key (F9) to see the slash disappear and the volume level set at zero bars</li>

</ul>

<p>The audio output level is now set at the super quiet setting, with sounds just barely audible enough that you can identify them. This is a perfect setting to couple with temporarily muting <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/01/28/how-to-stop-the-mac-startup-sound/">the boot sound</a> for using a Mac in meetings, libraries, classrooms, or other places where silence is necessary, allowing you to continue to hear audio without distracting others. </p>
