ANY volume?

I think this sentence is wrong...but how can it be modified to be correct?

I want to say that " I am able to listen to music at ANY volume in my room".

What can ANY be replaced into?

thank you

Your sentence is fine as written. Here are a few possible variations (note that these are just different, not necessarily better that your original): I am able to listen to music at whatever volume I like in my room. I am able to listen to music at whatever volume I want in my room.

I don't see why you can't use "can" instead of " ...am able to". This is your room and you can be as direct and blunt as you want, right! To me, "Be able to" seems to possess that hint of depending on the mercy of someone or something. Just two cents...

You can use "can."

'I can listen to music as loud as I want in my room.' is more natural.
