Stereo Volume Decrease/Door Handle

I noticed the other day that when you are outside the car and the stereo is on inside the car, the volume of the stereo turns down when you put your hand on the handle of the door, when you remove your hand the volume returns to normal. Anyone else noticed this before? I cant think what this feature would be for.

Hummm, that sounds cool. My guess it that if this is happening, it must be so the driver can get into the car at a more comfortable sound pressure and then it goes back to where to left it as it was your intention. Or it could have to do with sound pollution to not distrub others as much.
