Why cant i hear FM radio broadcasts in VFO mode?

Running F4HWNv4.3 on UV-K5(8)v2 (but same with any other firmware).

In dedicated FM mode i hear all radio channels just fine, but in VFO FM there is nothing but noise. Fagci scanner shows station peaks and gives some semblance of audio information, but still incredibly noisy. Why is that?

Disclaimer: total noob, got into this hobby like a week ago, asking this question purely to learn. If i had to guess, FM mode captures a wider range and mushes it into a legible sound. Even if that is not the case... Is there some way to do the same in VFO mode?
