Speakers sound brighter at evening / night?


I don't know if anyone has noticed this or studied time of day and perception of sound. But for me, I've found in darker environment especially at night my speakers all sound brighter? A few other hypothesis:
1. Power is different at night 
2. My ear is different at night
3. Lighting is affecting perception of sound 
4. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-human-brain-is-sensitive-to-light-breakthrough-findings...
"The study shows that we have brain cells that react to light when exposed directly. These results are encouraging, especially for bright-light therapy channeled via ear canal direct to brain tissue", summarized professor Seppo Saarela, PhD, head of  the biology department and leading the research at the University of Oulu.

Direct receptors of light? Yep.

Charles Ott proved that way back when - trouble was, psychology was even less of a science then, than it is now. I used to demonstrate some of his effects to students, just for devilment.
Quite right. Memory failed on the first name. Ott may not have discovered the cells, but he identified numerous effects, which no-one took seriously for years and years.
