I assume that your friend runs the loco in DCC?
I found a manual on the web but unfortunately it is in German...
There are two CVs for what you are looking for.
CV 116 determines which button regulates the sound volume.
0 = no button
1 - 16 = Function button
Default = 16
CV 118 determines the sound volume.
0 - 255 = range
Default = 180
CV 117 has something to do with the sound as well but I'm not sure what it really does.
Something with sound fading....
Here is the link:
