Let Fn be a free group of finite rank n⩾2. Due to Kapovich, Levitt, Schupp and Shpilrain (2007) [1], two finitely generated subgroups H and K of Fn are called volume equivalent, if for every free and discrete isometric action of Fn on an R-tree T, we have vol(TH/H)=vol(TK/K). We give a more algebraic and combinatorial characterization of volume equivalence and discuss a counterexample of volume equivalence in order to justify our characterization. We also provide a specific example to answer a question of Kapovich, Levitt, Schupp and Shpilrain in the negative: volume equivalence does not imply equality in rank.
