The greater sound pressure at some moment =96 the bigger capacitance of
condenser of a mic and lower its potential at that moment.

The greater air speed at some moment =96 the greater speed of a membrane
of dynamic mic - the bigger its EMF.

Human ear acts more like dynamic mic than condenser one, so when
listening to sound amplified from a condenser microphones without
frequency correction, you'll hear it more "high frequency". (The
higher frequency =96 the lower speed of vibration at the same pressure,
if I am not mistaken)

PS
We spent June at big Tel Aviv, wonderful city.
This street on south near the park, left side of the street =96 Tel
Aviv, right side =96 Ramat Gan town ;-)
Fantastic architecture of city's north. We walked many kilometers a
day, just couldn't stop. Great impression.
