Microphones are surprisingly sensitive. I can listen to music in my closed-back headset at a regular volume. My desk mic can pick this up. Without boosting the audio it's barely audible that there's music, but after adding some gain you get almost the full song profile (and background noise).

I can even pick out some of my breathing from the recording.

If I turn on noise suppression and noise gate it's fine.

I was two rooms away from someone playing music on a smart Google device. I could very barely hear that music was playing at all and only just barely made out it was a song I had been interested in but kept missing. I pulled out my S22+ and used Shazam. somehow it was able to pick it up easily.
