Abstract: The method for volume control comprises pre-setting of a higher and lower volume levels prior to the volume control; adjusting the volume at the lower pre-set level upon the detection of human voices, and at the higher pre-set level in the absence of human voices. Analysis and a control unit of the volume control system is operative to form at its output a control signal providing the volume decrease in the audio reproducing unit to the lower pre-set level upon the detection of human voices in accordance with a first pre-set time function, and the volume to the upper pre-set level in the absence of human voices in accordance with a second pre-set time function.

Abstract: The invention relates to radio-electronics, in particular to audible warning devices. In order to enlarge the functional possibilities, the inventive sound-reproduction support is provided with a sensor for measuring the weight of a vessel, a coding block, and an event detecting block arranged inside its housing.
