There's no reference in that video to anything else, so we can't tell what the absolute level in that video was. For all we know the gain was turned all the way up. And if you don't do video anyway, it's what you hear outside that could matter.
And now we have the test results in, putting aside the big differences of focal length and physical size, the 50/1.8 only compares in MTF from f/4 upwards. The '40 arguably has better bokeh too.
