I work on some of the biggest and newest container ships in the world. We have the same problem with our PA system

The reason I have found so far is: you are eating the microphone. They have some sort of mechanical passive background noise cancellation, that if you are to far away (more than 1.5cm from mouth to microphone) then the sound in the recievers end is very poor. So the easiest is just to (almost) eat it
