Boeing 737 ambient noise during ascent

Hi all,

I have noticed that while the aircraft is ascending, the ambient noise from within the cabin increases, especially around the 20,000ft and onwards mark.

From what I can tell, the engines appear to be at a constant thrust but the noise increases. Is this due to the air getting thinner the higher the aircraft goes?

Cheers
