How can I adjust the sensitivity of the Macbook microphone?

Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of the mic to pick up more or less background sounds?

This is all there is: Change the sound input settings on Mac - Apple Support. Settings vary according to the specific Mac model.


If you want greater control over voice audio input, you should really use an external professional quality microphone.
