Can we reduce the aggressive volume of karaoke?

I like karaoke in TS4 but (for me) it is incredibly loud and I have to have the camera zoomed out by around 200 feet - which means I can't really watch Sims.
Anyone know how to lower the volume?

Simming is the harshest of environments.
Cold, harsh and unforgiving - and that's without even having weather in TS4.

Really? Turn down the music level, and then you can't hear anything from the stereos. Not any kind of solution whatsoever.
Again, that isn't a solution. The problem is the karaoke machine is WAY louder than the other items in the game. Even louder than the stereos on high volume. Turn it down, and then you can't hear other objects.
It is a giveaway to your parents when that sucker starts blaring out.
I need a proper solution within the next 4 hours.
All radios/speakers have different volume settings. I usually have to go in and change them from Medium to Low because I find them way too obnoxiously loud otherwise.
I don’t use the karaoke machine, so I don’t know what it sounds like in comparison to radios on medium (which IMO is really loud), but there should at least be an option to reduce it’s sound without sacrificing sound for every single object in the game.
I don’t play with my PC volume very high in general (even non-Sims games), but I have had to turn my sound down even after adjusting it to low. Not a super huge deal, but I do think it’s worth fixing if it is obnoxiously louder than needed with the karaoke machine.
Actually, if you read all the posts, someone did say to turn the overall volume down till it's quiet enough. Others said to turn various other settings down, and yeah, one will turn down the karaoke volume, but other objects as well, so you'd have to turn it right back up again if you wanted to use other items. The biggest problem is unlike most every other audio item in the game, they didn't bother to put a volume control on it.
In any case, there is no decent solution at the moment. the volume of the karaoke machine IS way too aggressive, and people have been complaining about it since it came into the game, and they haven't bothered to fix it, just like the hot tub sits on your lot not being used, for example. Heck, it took like three years to get the silencer on the phone to work.
Yeah, if you haven't used it, you have no idea how loud it is. I mean, it's loud. Like annoying pop-up add on a website loud. I have mine on the second story of my current house, and when someone uses it, I can still hear it booming away if I'm focused on the lower floor.
Skinny dip and upgrade are the only selections on my hot tubs. No regular ‘get in’ so my Sims really only use it when they choose to autonomously. I’ve had this bug for months, not sure if it will ever get fixed either.
