Toys with adjustable volume

Here is something that I seriously do not understand at all. Lots of my kids' toys have a button on them that you can toggle from quieter volume to louder volume. What kind person actually sets the toys to the louder setting?!

Kids are loud enough. Toys that make sounds get irritating enough after the first ten minutes. Why would anyone deliberately want the toys to be louder than the bare minimum?

Toy company design teams if you are reading my humble blog, what we really need is not quiet and loud volume. We need on/off switches that are child proof so that when I want all sound disabled I can make it happen in a way that my three year old can not turn back on without my assistance.

OK, enough ranting.
