If doing this for the first time, start with around 50% volume, then adjust later as necessary if this to much, or insufficient.
The kiosk is designed to emit sounds to affirm key actions, and alert users when their attention is required. This is part of the approaches implemented to provide a more accessible user experience. It can also help raise awareness of nearby stuff if a user is experiencing repeated failures.Enabling guided access mode
