Volume spikes in video clip whenever I try to split it in Premiere Rush

Is anyone else having the problem of volume jumping up crazy high suddenly after merely trying to split the clip in half? Mine keeps doing it and its so annoying. I don't know how to fix it. When I try to bring the volume down manually with the slider afterwards, there's a difference in the sound and the clip piece stands out terribly. Help? What am I doing wrong? Fix for this anyone?
