This is fascinating. It could be an artifact of the radio's design, or... 
Could we possibly be seeing a process here in which the dynamic range of the 
human ear/wetware is being increased by lowering the amplitude range of the 
input? Maybe mammalian ears evolved to work better (i.e., more 
discrimminatingly) at lower volume levels... This might make sense in 
evolutionary terms, when you come to think about it.
