That's to keep you from suffering a loss of hearing. Loud sound in the auditory canal kill cilia. Eventually you wear hearing aids full-time.

You might try entering your settings and look for a sound setting. You can try increasing those settings. They are likely set to a mid range volume. I hope this helps.
