Why does volume() not return what was set by volume(x)?

I've taken this screenshot of the browser dev tools, paused at a breakpoint, of a game I'm developing. I could maybe link it but I simplified the example for this scenario. I set the volume, and can confirm it does work to change the volume of the sound, but when I invoke howl.volume() in the console after this occurs, it still returns 1. howl._volume is 1. Why doesn't the get return what was set?

Augh, I thought I already understood this but realized I was missing the id has to be passed into the volume() get. It won't let me delete the question so I guess my shame has to be immortalized 🙃
