Netflix update makes your Android phone’s crappy speakers sound better - The Verge

Netflix has detailed an upgrade to its Android app which should reduce buffering and make audio sound better and easier to hear over background noise.

Netflix explains this is often a problem of loud background noise making content hard to hear, combined with weak and tinny phone speakers that sound bad when you try to put up the volume.

Quiet content is made louder so you can hear it over background noise, and the volume of loud content is brought down to prevent clipping, all in theory without sacrificing audio quality.
