Feature Request: Responses Should Be At The Same Volume I'm Speaking

This applies to ALL speakers / displays:

I wish there was an option to always have the speaker/display respond back to you at the same volume that you used when you spoke to it.

What I mean is: if I'm whispering to my device... I want it to whisper back.  If I'm yelling at it from across the room, I want it to yell back at me (so I can hear it).

Think about it - when we're having a conversation with a human we naturally modulate our volume to what the other person is using.  If we're far apart and they yell at us - then we need to use that same volume to "yell" back at them.  If we're near each other and our baby is sleep and one of us whispers - the other will whisper a response.

The idea that we would want our Google devices to respond at the same volume that we last played music at is ludicrous.  There are SO MANY times that I whisper to my Nest Hub on my nightstand while my wife is sleeping and it YELLS its response... or I bark across the room to my Nest Mini to ask about the weather and it whispers its response so I can't hear it.

This seems like a simple thing to implement and one that would GREATLY increase usability!

Anyone else feel the same?
