Abstract

An apparatus and a method for controlling a volume in a mobile terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a motion detector and a controller. The motion detector outputs motion information from a user's movement. The controller determines the user's activity from the motion information output from the motion detector, and determines an appropriate output volume level responsive to the activity.
