I was thinking about how sometimes my settings aren't right, but it could be that im listening too low?
I generally listen to at 30 and movies at 40.
Should i be listening louder?
What volume do you listen?
Any answer will be useless, as there are so many factors involved: source of the signal and factory level, BV model, loudspeakers connected and level settings, distance to the BV and size of the room ...
For example, on my BV11-55 in the bedroom, volume setting at 35 in movie mode through the inbuilt speaker, I have to setup the BV7-55+BL7.6 from the living room at 50 to have the same sound level. Both sources are the same: a HUMAX Satellite decoder connected by HDMI with volume setting at the maximum.

Duels:That’s odd - normally both ears are the same age
The older, the higher the volume - it stops with 90.....
.....years.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Our BV11 is typically on 50 for watching an SD broadcast, and has to be raised to 58 to get the same volume on an HD broadcast. Switching from HD to SD can be quite a shock if you forget about prior volume adjustment.

Aussie Michael:Thank you everyone. I now know I can turn up the volume a bit more. :-)
elephant: Aussie Michael: Thank you everyone. I now know I can turn up the volume a bit more. :-) My settings adjustment (down assuming that the L & R settings were relative to the centre has actually (as others predicted) improved on hearing and this week we seem to not need to raise the volume to hear the dialogue.

BV8-32 - usually I have it at 60 and I am 54
There was a time when I had surround sound with my old Avant and the sound of some films was dreadful as the producers were more interested in creating loud noises to show off the surround sound - to the extent that you could barely hear dialogue - thankfully things seem much better these days.
elephant:These settings from the “background noise in movies” thread ... https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.22.45/IMG552028927.jpg BeoNut since '75
