Autopilot bleep

Ok this is gonna sound really stupid, but as they say there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers

Recently I have been a passenger on easyjet A319s quite a few times and can always hear the A/P disengage bleep shortly before touchdown. (Yes, the flight deck door was shut !)
I have never been able to hear it on different aircraft / operators. Certainly never heard the characteristic Boeing bleep.

Is this just because of the fairly quiet Airbus cabin ?
But then, if so, why can I hear the disengage tone, but not, for example the altitude callouts ?

Thanks for your kind answers
