The iPhone keypad emits a clicking sound by default that can be annoying when you're in a public setting, such as the library or other areas where you're expected to be quiet. The iPhone only has an option to turn the volume on or off for keypad clicks. However, if you want to adjust the overall volume of all the sounds on the iPhone, you can use the volume button on the side of the iPhone to turn the volume up or down. This adjusts the keypad volume as well as the ringer, text alerts and all other sounds on the iPhone.
