Why, in movies these days, is the background noise generally louder then the talking?

Question

Is there a reason for this? I just don’t remember it being an issue when growing up and since it crossed my mind, I haven’t been able to come up with an answer myself.

Answer 1

Majority of movies are designed for 5 speakers audio system. When it is converted to 2 for tv, audio levels are all added and mixed up. It absolutely possible to do it properly but requires some works and thus this wirk is ommited.
