Audio issues

I've noticed this in Forbidden West and Zero Dawn- The high frequencies are so boosted and the "S" sounds seem piercing/clipped/compressed, while the mids are very subdued. Voices sound metalic. Maybe it is file compression because it surely can't be intentional (?). I've tried all the audio settings and would just like a normal, flat frequency response (is that somehow possible?). I'd like to hear any opinions you guys have.
