The Set Volume To block is the tenth block in the purple Sound palette.
It has one input - for the volume you want to set, in percentage, from 0% to 100%. This block does not play a sound by itself, so to test it you need to add another block that plays a sound.

Lesson 1 - Musical introduction
Introduction
In this lesson, we will explore the basics of sounds and music - and discover how to create them with SPIKE Prime! Do you know how to play an instrument? Would you like to?
Musical instruments have existed for tens of thousands of years. Some of the earliest examples are flutes made from bird bones and mammoth ivory, dating back about 40,000 years. Ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and China created instruments like lyres, harps, drums, and horns, often connecting them to rituals, religion, and cultural identity. Over time, instruments evolved with new technologies, giving rise to the diverse families of strings, winds, brass, percussion, and keyboards we know today.
