I'm wearing noise cancelling headphones. That sort of weird 'pressure' sensation.
Classic over-processing issue. It's very pronounced with voice "enhancement" or "clean up" tools that are not properly applied. Usually it's someone applying it in the 40-70% range of wet vs. 60-30% dry, thinking they're being conservative with the tool (you really need it to be very light or very heavily applied if you can't get granular with the specifics of how it's applied).
It creates an effect where different parts of the EQ surge up and down gradually over a few seconds but the volume stays relatively the same. The tone is constantly changing which is aggravating. It's a very uncomfortable sensation for a lot of folks.
Spot on, I think. I actually just commented down thread a bit that I've also seen it happening more and more with Youtube videos.
I speculated that they seem to be adopting some kind of AI based audio cleanup tool that has the same effect, since I first noticed it when one of my favorite Youtubers mentioned they were trying out a new AI audio tool. I think your guess is probably the explanation I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful! Yeah I regularly use dxRevive and used to use Adobe audio enhance (so glad to be rid of them!) and this came up allllll the time with new editors. A lot of ai tools basically do what these tools do in some form or fashion .
