TV remotes, computer speakers, car radios, etc must have two sets of volume up / volume down controls. One for upper volume limit, and one for the lower.
Now I can hear what the characters are whispering to eachother, without waking up the entire apartment complex when there's a gunshot on screen.
Or hear the quiet parts of music when I'm driving without blowing my eardrums out when the contrasting high energy part kicks in.
This is not as straightforward as you might think. If there's an actual quiet part it would amplify the background noise.
Do I not amplify the background noise when I turn it up myself? I think they're looking more for a "variable volume" option rather than any actual audio engineering
You wouldn't turn up the volume when you know the scene is meant to be quiet. Or at least, you wouldn't turn it up so high you can hear the background noise at the level you want to hear dialogue.
