In every TV show (and movie), the background music is 50x louder than the speaking.

I thought it was my TV, but it’s the same with every one AND the movie theater. It’ll sound like whispering, I’ll turn the volume up, and then the background music is legit a sonic boom.

Why is this? Do people in the tv/film industry know this is happening?
