Mobile terminal and control method thereof

A mobile terminal, comprising:

• a sound output module configured to output sound;
• a user input unit configured to sense a control command for controlling a volume level of the output sound;
• and
• a controller configured to control a volume level of the output sound based on the sensed control command, configured to determine whether the controlled volume level corresponds to at least one of a maximum volume level and a minimum volume level, and configured to provide a bounce effect to the output sound if the controlled volume level corresponds to at least one of the maximum volume level and the minimum volume level.

A method for controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

• outputting a sound from a sound output module;
• sensing a control command for controlling a volume level of the sound output from the user input unit;
• controlling a volume level of the output sound based on the sensed control command;
• determining whether the controlled volume level corresponds to at least one of a maximum volume level and a minimum volume level;
• and
• if the controlled volume level corresponds to at least one of the maximum volume level and the minimum volume level, providing a bounce effect to the output sound.
