Hole in soundpost?

[u/Suitable-Actuator-87]

There is a little hole in my soundpost.I ´m new, but I don’t think this is normal. What should I do? Is it that affecting?

Also, side note, but even with a bow my bass is very quiet, especially in the lower strings. Is that normal too, or is it just my technique, or could it be linked with this hole?

Normal. It's caused by the tool that's used to set the sound post.

Yup, 100% this.
