Question

Why do certain songs sound louder than others even when they’re played at the same volume?

In: Technology

Answer 1

* If one song has loud peaks every now and then, and another song has loud peaks all the time, the second song will seem louder even though the peaks of each song are the same level.
* Producers use a technique called “audio compression” to do this.
* Also TV and Radio stations use it too. They use it to make songs and commercials easier to hear in noisy environments.
