Similar things are done with TV and streaming unfortunately. You ever notice how commercials/ads have louder volume than whatever content you're watching? It's intentional. If you're someone who doesn't skip them and doesn't mute them, they want you to be able to hear them from another room and then they hope you'll come back to see the ad. It's so dumb.
Yeah and as it's illegal to bump up the volume (where I live) they bump up loudness instead, making the sound crappy but it's perceived as higher volume. God I hate that crap
