It's probably also the microphone you're using.

Audio compression at radio settings basically compresses complex waveforms (the richter scale squiggles) into blocks, rounding off the highs and the lows. Then, volume is added. This results in the loud shit getting quieter and the soft shit getting louder until pretty much everything is the same volume. Radio in particular does this to an extreme level because their signal pushes further the louder it is, so a compression ratio of 100:1 is not uncommon.
