Questions & Answers about Rundgången har försvunnit sedan vi ändrade volymen.

Why is it rundgången and not just rundgång?

Rundgången is the definite form of the noun rundgång.

• rundgång = feedback / audio feedback
• rundgången = the feedback

In Swedish, the definite article is often added as an ending to the noun rather than written as a separate word. So instead of saying the feedback, Swedish says feedback-the.

Here, it refers to a specific feedback problem, so the definite form sounds natural.

What does rundgång mean exactly?

In this context, rundgång means audio feedback: the unpleasant looping sound you get when a microphone picks up sound from a speaker and re-amplifies it.

It is a common word in sound and music settings.

Why do both nouns end in -en: rundgången and volymen?

Both are common gender nouns in Swedish, and in the singular definite form they usually take -en.

• en rundgång → rundgången
• en volym → volymen

So:

• volym = volume
• volymen = the volume

This is one of the main patterns for Swedish nouns.
