For musical notation, pp stands for pianissimo, which means very softly, and ppp stands for piano possible, which is as soft as possible.

If you want to gradually get softer in volume, you would write a diminuendo (dim), which simply means, gradually softer as you play. Hope that was helpful!

The softest musical symbol that I know of is pianissimo; represent with pp. In the dictionary, the definition of pianissimo is very soft. So when playing pianissimo in music, you would play as soft as you possibly can.
