Sucks when there's no closed captions, or at least subtitles.

Just so you understand, grunting is not the same as mumbling. Those are two different actions.

I have a difficult time when listening to British actors speak in shows. Black Mirror can be quite challenging to follow for this reason.

It's not really a theater problem, more of a dvd/bluray at home type problem, home media basically.

I think Hollywood sound editors assume people live in soundproof noise cancellation foam bubbles, with no neighbors.

I don't know if it's hollywood so much as whoever does the home media release, dvd and bluray and even digital downloads. Watching avengers and the movie is so quiet when they're talking, and then ear shattering when the explosions happen.

The director is in charge of the sound guys, so if the director caught it in post and didn't do anything to fix it, then yes, its the directors fault.

What grinds my gears is when you are streaming a movie and you have to put on captions to hear what they are saying and then the action scene suddently comes in extra loud rip

My headphones that I typically use level everything out so at least the ear shattering part of this isn't an issue for me anymore.

But yeah otherwise it is pretty annoying.
