“most”

Most modern TVs have a Night audio mode that will compress audio to a smaller spectrum, basically for this exact reason.

Roku devices (including the Roku TV models from various manufacturers) have a Night audio mode.
Samsung TVs have an Adaptive Sound mode that does similar. And Samsung soundbars have a Night mode in the SmartThings app.
Sony calls it Night Mode or Night Sound depending on the product.
Google TV also calls it Night Mode.
Hisense calls it Night Mode or Late Night.
Vizio calls it Night Mode
LG calls it Night Time.
Apple TV calls it Reduce Loud Sounds.
I’d say that covers “most”.

You’re not wrong in any way but I would just like to clarify in the most friendly way that the use of spectrum in audio context is frequencies and not amplitude. Compressing the frequency spectrum is not really desired unless for specialized lossy audio compression, which in turn is even more confusing the terminology because now compression is about reducing the data rate in a controlled degradation. Anyway, the proper terminology would be that the audio is dynamically compressed to a smaller range.
