When played at full volume this can be a fascinating experience, which may however cause disturbance late at night. Simply reducing the volume does not produce pleasing results, and the dialogue becomes difficult to understand. In order to achieve the desired results, you would have to reduce the volume only for the louder sounds, increase the volume during quieter scenes and maintain the volume of the dialogue. You can change the volume relations in three steps.
