Do you find it annoying when the sound on a movie goes from soft to thundering?

Watching The Crown. I’m at my daughter’s and she and the kids have gone to bed. It’s only 8 pm but she gets up early early for work. I’m babysitting tomorrow as her DC provider won’t be available. It’s easiest if I stay the night.
The AC fan is runn_ing loud in here.
Since they are speaking with an accent I have to concentrate more than usual to pick up on it so I’ve turned it up 2 notches from where I started. I thought I was set then suddenly the orchestra is THUNDERING!
Worst of all I have no TV remote so I have to jump for the TV and find the 2 small buttons out of 6 that are obscurly located on the side.
Are the volume changes really necessary for movies?

Not if the plot requires it to.

I don’t think so, and I hate that crap too. Especially when people are whispering and are barely audible, even in the theater with all the super duper all around you sound. Like the two protagonists are whispering their sweet little nothings, and then a car explodes and you jump out of your seat, it sounds like the damn world just ended. Why they do that I have no clue.
