The MP3 format is great for sharing and listening to music, but sometimes song volume levels can be too low, not only for listening with headphones, but also for sending via Bluetooth. Increasing the volume of those MP3 files is possible and there are several effective ways to achieve it.
Using audio editing software
Another way is to use an audio editing program like Audacity. This open source software is quite powerful. To increase the volume in Audacity, do the following.
Import the MP3 file. Select all the audio and go to Effects > Amplify. Adjust the amplification in decibels to increase the volume. Export the amplified audio to a new MP3 file.
Audacity gives you full control to normalize and maximize volume levels. It is the ideal option if you work with many audio files.
The program download is available from the official Audacity website.
Using the MP3Gain program
One of the easiest ways to increase the volume of your MP3s is by using the MP3Gain program. This versatile software has the option to amplify the audio of your low volume songs to their optimal listening levels. To do it you just need to follow these steps:
Open MP3Gain and click AddFile(s) to select the low volume MP3 file(s).
Click Track Analysis. The software will analyze the volume level of the files and calculate the optimal values.
Once this is done, click Track Gain for the new volume level to take effect. It is very easy to use and allows you to increase the volume quickly without losing audio quality.

Using an online tool
There are many web applications to amplify an MP3 file at low volume, but the one that offers the most intuitive method is MP3Louder. You can use it as the first option or if you have not had success with the previous two.
