How to Set YouTube Music Equalizer for iPhone, PC, Mac, and Android
An equalizer (EQ) is a function that adjusts volume and sound quality by amplifying or attenuating a specific frequency range. Thanks to the equalizer, the same song can be heard differently. YouTube Music has a built-in equalizer, but it is inactive by default. YouTube Music is uploaded by others on YouTube, so it's often loud and noisy. You can use the equalizer to turn down the unwanted sound of YouTube Music or set it to your preferred genre.
This article will show you how to set the equalizer for YouTube Music on iPhone, PC, Mac, and Android.
