Volume Attribute

The “volume” attribute, while above the value of "1", doesn't define the percentage of the loudness of the sound, but rather determines how far (measured in blocks) the sound can be heard at maximum volume.

The formula for this is v * 16 = maxvolume distance. For example if you use “1” for the volume attribute, the sound can be heard at maximum volume in a radius of 16 blocks around the source. If you used “20” however, the sound can be heard at maximum volume in a 320 block radius! (20 * 16)

While the value is between 0 and 1, the sound is still played in a 16 blocks radius, but with diminished volume, with 0.1 being 10% of normal volume, 0.4 being 40% of normal volume and so on
