Starting game sound + updating

When i start the sim the music pops up very loud for a few seconds, going very soft when ‘looking for an update’ for about a minute en stays soft then.

In the options i put the background music almost to zero, but why does the sim music starts so loud? and only for 2 or 3 seconds?

And why do i have to look for an update every time i start the game, but is it recommended to start an update in microsoft store first adn then do the game start update and then i also have to update the free stuff and the content manager. Updates should be easier in one perhaps 2 places, but not all over the place

While it fetches your preferred settings the standard tune plays on standard volume. A bit annoying yes.
Maybe they can fix this, maybe they can start the music only after the settings are loaded.
