Ya, YouTube will normalize audio to -14 LUFS/LKFS, compared to -24 for broadcast, -27 for Netflix, etc...

If you're curious about current loudness measurement, this is a pretty good overview, though written for an audience of US public radio producers (btw- the site, Transom.org, has long been great):

I meter with iZotope Insight, which is available in a few of iZotope's bundles (I do some audio work).

The free version of Youlean is pretty good, too.

Or just go, "Huh, that's kinda louder," and be glad you're working with a mixer. :-)

Heard back from the mixer and what Greg H. said is confirmed and it seems there is an actual spec but I don't know what the actual spec is but according to the mixer it's usually 6-8 db hotter than the broadcast mix.  Here's what I heard back:

"Yep, you're correct. YouTube, Facebook, etc. is all 6-8dB hotter. Depending on the site. Each site has their own spec. But's usually about 6-8dB hotter than the network standard.

 

I give the WEB version in case you need it, and for posting clips to the web.

 

For network, cable, & streamers, the regular version would be used."
