Somebody really needs to start a petition on this. I was once told that the reason commercials 'sound' louder is because quite often, the program you are watching isn't using it's full allowable volume (quiet romantic scene) before going to commercial. Then the commercial uses it's max allowable volume and the contrast causes you to leap out of the lazyboy and kick the TV right off the stand.
I don't know how or why they do this. There is nothing more annoying than the freakishly loud commercial. Start the petition, diss, I'll be the first one to sign.
