10db audio volume difference between front seats and middle seats

[tyet]

I have a 2025 tahoe high country and noticed right away a significant audio volume difference between the front seats and middle seats. To the point I have to turn it up and get blown away in the front seats for the passengers in the middle seat to hear it at a normal level. Ive gone through all the settings, normal, centerpoint, fader in the middle etc. I had the dealer run diagnostic tests and everything checked out fine. there is a message into gm engineering currently awaiting a response. What i measured was an average 8-10db difference at ear level between the 2 rows. I really hope it wasnt "designed this way" by GM.

Been living w/ this since 14Nov25 when my Z71 Tahoe was delivered, hopeful but not expecting a + outcome w/ this issue.

Have I been transported into the future?

do you have the RSE option with any head sets or headphones plugged in? I forgot if mine dips the rear volume of the kids are watching stuff on the screens.
