I don\u2019t want to disturb neighbors with the noise, but I especially don\u2019t want to wake up my son who\u2019s sleeping nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Enhance Dialogue means I can keep the volume at a lower level without missing out on any of the dialogue, even in louder scenes with tense music, action, or other noise.<\/p>\n<p>As a bonus, if you\u2019re in a similar situation to me, tvOS offers another feature I\u2019d recommend. From that same Video and Audio screen in Settings, you\u2019ll find Reduce Loud Sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Apple\u2019s description:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Enjoy movies and music without disturbing others. Experience softer sound effects and music, but keep all the detail of the original sound levels.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I keep this turned on alongside tvOS 18\u2019s Enhance Dialogue, and it works well for me. Whatever change is being made to the original mix through these two features is a net positive in my mind.<\/p>\n<p>If you have little ones sleeping nearby, or neighbors you don\u2019t want to disturb, I highly recommend flipping the switch on some of these tvOS settings.<\/p>\n<p>Do you use Enhance Dialogue or Reduce Loud Sounds?
