Do TV advertisers have to crank up the volume on ad breaks? I'm sick of having to reach for the remote every time the adverts come on. I think they are deliberately broadcasting mumbling programs, so that I get blasted when the adverts come on.
Surely they know it drives us crazy, can't they normalise the volume, or are they just......

Got sick of it a long time ago
My mute button gets a lot of use, (every ad break)
I still get a feeling of satisfaction with this small victory!

Advertisers insist this is not so, but we viewers know the truth. There was, at one time, a tv which would sense the commercials and reduce the volume greatly in order to help alleviate this problem.
Another way is to use TIVO or a TVR. Record your programs and watch them later, zipping past the commercials.

This is why I download the programs I watch. Then use media players `quiet mode`. If i use a normal tv the kids get woken up every 15mins with the sonic boom of dumb adverts.

I agree - so annoying. Especially the stupid car ads and furniture ads (at least here in the US). I console myself by remembering how much I hated the political ads & that they were worse!

They can ban all sorts of so called pollution but not noise pollution in our own homes.

they know people get up to make a cup of tea or go to the loo so they make it louder so you can still hear.
