Audacity (free, GPL Win, Linux, Mac) to Normalize the audio if the m4b audiobook volume is too low. This is very rare that you'll encounter such a case.
First export from freac. In General Settings under Output filenames put
Filename pattern: <title>
Each chapter will be encoded and output to matching the chapter name. Uncheck Encode to a single file Encoder choose opus 32kbps or as high as the original bitrate as these files need to be re-encode three times in total.
1) in Audacity import all chapter files at once. Select All (Ctrl-A) then Effect | Normalize.
2) For that rare chapter if the wavelength doesn't go up like the rest double click on the track to highlight both tracks then Effect | Amplify and choose an Amplification (db) of whatever kind of matches the height of the other track waveforms.
3) File | Export | Export Multiple and choose mp3 or ogg. Don't lower the bitrate lower than the original.
Using Audacity seems a tad quicker to use for normalization than Ocenaudio next post.

Should You Buy Bitcoin?
In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
