Is this my MP3 export that made the dynamic-range-compression?... Dynamic-range-compression & mp3 file-size compression are completely different things. ...Or was it on the original recording?... At some point, (I can't tell when), dynamic-range-compression has been applied. The giveaway sign i...

That Dynamic Range, can we arrange it to match better? Downgrading the best parts to match the poorer parts is possible. IMO upgrading the poor parts to match the best is not possible: the original stereo-image information has been lost via dynamic-range-compression. There is a free plugin called G...

And yet. The posters noise seems to have gotten 7dB better with the compressor.

Maybe their compressor includes low & hi pass filters that remove infrasound & ultrasound which would contribute to an unweighted noise-floor measurement, but their presence/absence would not be audible.

Is there a noise gate built in? Could that be what the Noise Floor setting is? If the make-up-gain is ticked, everything on the track will be amplified to some degree if compression has been applied, not just where the compressor has been active. Is there a noise gate built in? ... I have seen comp...

Make-up-gain on the compressor will inevitably increase the noise-floor to some degree.
