For the non-bits/bytes oriented folks, i hope this little physical
analogy is useful.

You know those toys that have hundreds or thousands of metal pins in a
grid, that you can make impressions of your face, or hand.  You push
something into the grid of pins, and the impression is formed of
whatever you placed there, positive image on one side, negative image
on the other.

Lowering the volume is not unlike uniformly pushing the other side to
reset the device - slowly you start to lose the definition because each
of the pins is being pushed back towards the flat position.  Pretty
soon, you can longer make out the impression, eventually going to
completely flat.
