How do you turn down the volume of the volume control sound?

I just updated to Plasma 6.4.1 (from 6.3.5) on OpenSUSE TW, and it automatically applied the Ocean sound theme. This included a new sound when changing the volume, which is fine, but it's way louder and hurts my ears when using headphones, which is less fine (I have some sensory issues which may be related). I've figured out how to disable it, but is there a way to just turn it down?

For now I've gone back to the FreeDesktop sounds (which has the much more pleasant to me popping sound) but I'd like to try out the Ocean sound theme without hurting my ears or disabling the volume control audio feedback.

Don't "System Sounds" have their own slider? I use Pulse audio on my machine so pavucontrol lets me turn those down. However it makes all sounds quieter.
Find where the ocean theme sound file is, open it in Audacity and just use the Amplify tool to make it a lot quieter (-20dB or whatever, save it as a replacement.

This will only work until the package containing the sounds gets updated again, then it's back to square one.

It should. My comment was in relation to point 2, as I stated in the comment.
