Interested to get some thoughts on this. It seems to always get quieter as I go outdoors for me

In an AV setting, low frequencies are much less directional than high frequencies (at least in how we perceive them). When you place speakers, you want them pointed towards the listener. But a subwoofer can be anywhere in the room and it “sounds” pretty much the same. The sound will bounce off the walls and you can’t really tell where it’s coming from. In fact it will sound lounger if the subwoofer is near a wall, or better yet a corner. High frequencies will reflect also, but not as much as the lows.
Outdoors there are no walls for low frequencies to reflect off of, so they don’t sound as loud as inside. Since we hear high frequencies mostly directly instead of reflected, they don’t change as much
