Abstract
Various embodiments provide methods and systems for providing a recommended volume level in presentation of media content. In some embodiments, volume adjustment events made by a user and/or similar users while watching media content can be detected and automatically recorded. The media content may include a plurality of segments. A normalized volume level for at least one segment of the media content can be determined by aggregating the recorded volume adjustment events corresponding to the at least one segment of the media content. When the media content is played back on a user device, at least some embodiments cause the at least one segment of the media content to be played back at a recommended volume level determined based at least in part upon one of the normalized audio level of the corresponding segment, the audio system of the user device, or historical data and personal profile of the user.
