curious about pitch accent and ん

i started studying pitch accent a bit and was wondering why the pitch in words like 運動 and 新聞 goes up with the ん instead of after, if that makes sense?

it almost sounds like there’s an extra vowel before ん instead of the pitch going up right after, with どう or ぶん. う⬆️うんどう, し⬆️いんぶん.

i know the vowel isn’t long, but it’s interesting that the pitch seems to rise in ん instead of a vowel, like うん⬆️どう.
