Replacing the characteristic function of the unit ball by a suitable normal distribution with spherical symmetry when computing the volume should give approximatively the correct answer. Since $$\frac{1}{(2\pi)^{n/2}}\int_{\mathbb R^n}(x_1^2+\dots+x_n^2)e^{-(x_1^2+\dots+x_n^2)/2}dx_1\cdots dx_n$$ is linearly linear in $n$, one has to rescale by a factor of order $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ leading to a decay of order $(\lambda n)^{-n/2}$ for the volume of the unit sphere.
