Does the microphone have volume control?

Each microphone has an on-and-off switch. The speaker box has a volume control but I live in an apartment and found it didn’t turn down low enough for my purposes. Since my grandkids really liked this set, I put clear tape over the microphone head to block some of the sounds.
