A320 question

On a recent A320 flight, the speed brakes were partially extended from top of descent all the way down to what I guess was about 5000ft, perhaps a bit higher.

Is this SOP's? The noise level is higher and the ride not as smooth in this configuration.

And is this the cause of the change in aerodynamic sound as observed from the ground in the Melbourne eastern suburbs which is under the inbound route from Tassie?

Appreciate informed replies. No A320 jokes thanks.

Cheers
