Speaker medium volume Emoji

Objects

A dark grey speaker icon with a single curved sound wave emanating from its right side. This graphic represents a medium sound output setting, acting as a visual indicator for volume control.

Usage Context

You will mostly find this in media players, smartphone settings menus, or video controls. It bridges the gap between the silent 🔇 icon and the full-blast 🔊 icon, letting users know their device is set to a moderate, audible level.

History

This icon evolved from the early graphical user interfaces of 1990s desktop operating systems. As multimedia became a standard feature of personal computing, these sound waves were adopted to provide immediate visual feedback on audio levels without needing to open a separate settings panel.
