It depends on the director, but generally the networks want the shows sound to be turned down so the advertisers would seem to be louder. If you turned down the TV so the advertising would seem normal, chances are you would have a hard time hearing the program that you wanted to watch. Now when you are channel flipping you might get to HBO that has no commercials, so they might crank up the volume (who wants to watch an action movie at a whisper?) and other networks might have their own sound standards. Chances are you are not adjusting the sound as you are flipping through the stations, so you are getting this jarring effect from the different standards.

You may have noticed that when they send an advertisement it's always louder than the normal programme you were watching, this is because they want you to notice it!!!! It's only and always a matter of money!!! If they want, they have all the necessary instruments to equalize the volume of the different programmes, but they do it on purpose, as I said.

I think its an advertising gimmick, most tv's have a stable sound option in the programming-just turn it on.
