i think it's bc that's when you usually get up to leave the rm and they want to make sure you can hear it all the way in the next room, getting a snack or using the rr or whatever you are doing during commercials...

Commercials are louder than the tv shows because you get up to go to the kitchen, bathroom, etc while the commercial is on, and the makers of the commercial want you to HEAR their advertisement from any room in the house.
I learned this in Journalism class when I was in high school.
For MANY years now I have been MUTING the tv whenever a commercial comes on! lol
Cheers

Actually, they used to increase the volume until people complained and the FCC made it illegal. To get around this they "compress" the sound - it's more intense, but technically within the volume guidelines. If there's a commercial that's particularly annoying you can report it to the FCC and the TV station. Some newer TV's also have circuits that automatically adjust the volume to even out the programs and commercials.

I once heard that this is done for people who get up to run to the kitchen or bathroom during the break. That way, they can still hear the commercial when away from the TV. I have no idea if this is true though. I use DVR so I just fast forward thru the commercials.

Because people tend to walk away during commercials to do other things, the volume goes up to grab their attention and so they can hear the commercial in another room. I hate it when that happens!

They want you to come back to see what ever it is that they are advertising... since you probably got up when the commercials started...

They know that people get up to get something or do something while it is commercializing. I hit the mute button if I am just sitting there

because commercials are when ppl usually get up to do things,they have them set at a louder volume so that you will look at the tv and pay attention to what they are selling
