If I'm watching the T.V with my friend or somebody and I want to ask him\her to make the level of the sound of the T.V or radio higher, How to express that soundly?

Could I say, "could you make the radio louder"? Is that ok? How to say that in everyday language?

By the way, What is better, The sound of radio (even if it's a human who is talking throw the radio) or the voice of a radio?

Best Answer

Turn it up. Could you turn it up?

(These are natural, everyday expressions.)

You could also designate the program or content rather than the device (television or radio).

For example:

Turn the news up, I can't hear it.

The above sentence could refer to either a radio or television, or even computer speakers. But you are referring to the content of what you are listening to, rather than to the device you are listening to.)
