looking for something that makes the volume of youtube, netflix, etc. behave in such a way that when watching an action movie the dialog becomes very loud and the explosions, machine guns, etc. sound low (same level as the dialog) so I don't wake up my roommates and don't have to turn the volume up when there's dialog and turn the volume down when loud stuff goes on, basically a Compressor/Limiter on the master volume, is there such thing?

You can use PulseEffects for this purpose:

The following commands will install PulseEffects on your computer. As you are adding a PPA, you should also know how to remove that PPA.

First, install the program for (eventual) PPA removal:

sudo apt install ppa-purge

Secondly, add the PPA to your system, do an APT update, and then install PulseEffects

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mikhailnov/pulseeffects -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y pulseeffects

Finally, should you need to remove PulseEffects:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:mikhailnov/pulseeffects
