Nearly every game ever made allows players access to audio settings so they can adjust how loud the music is. New Horizons has no such option.

I'm having serious issues with the music in Animal Crossing. Its very loud and the tones are incredibly grating. I am disabled and part of that is having sensory sensitivities. The music was fine until the resident upgrade with Isabella. Now the music makes the game essentially unbearable. I've looked everywhere for a solution and have found none but have found many forums upset about this very same issue. I'm sure Nintendo's intent is not to make the game inaccessible to disabled people. Do you plan to fix this issue? 

The music is extremely loud if you want to also be able to hear the sound effects to get items like balloons and fish and there is no way to just control the music volume.

Many disabilities including those that occur on the autism spectrum have difficulty with sound and it can cause extreme discomfort. Not resolving the volume control issue communicates that you don't care if these populations play your games. Please fix this.

I am Autistic so I have sensory issues and certain sounds and or music can be quite distracting and triggering, the overworld music in the the game is so loud it makes it really hard to focus on what I'm doing, plus it makes it hard to hear things like balloons and the k.k songs that I like to play on my island. If you could add a way to either remove the music and or allow the volume of it to be changed that would be great. I love playing this game and I want to have a calm, relaxing time playing it. 

Thanks
