Are the hearing aid people trying to cash-in on this? Like your significant other walks in the room all "turn that down what are you deaf?" and after many times of this decides you need a hearing aid.

yes. this is by design to gain your attention. i don't see commercials anymore but i guess that bs is still legal

ALWAYS amd forever they've done that. It's very irritating but we know why they do it.

Not just that but the light is brighter. Like they have a white background.

For the sound though, sometimes it is loud to the point of distortion, like when you turn a radio up too loud.

They been doing that since the 1990s. Because they figure people leave the room when a commercials come on.

They think if they make them louder you'll still hear them and still buy their crap

YESSS! I've ALWAYS pointed this out. I'd immediately have to lower the volume as soon as a commercial came on. They do that intentionally so that you can still hear if you walk away, I suppose.

Youtube videos do that all the time.🗣️😖 A portion of the video is so low in volume you can't make it out, then it suddenly blows out your speakers and your eardrums.🤬🤬

That is done intentionally. They have legal limits to how loud they can run them, but since when did the media follow any laws?

They do that to stand out. Also, some commercials are intentionally irritating. Ever notice? It's so you remember them.

Yes of course because they must somehow succeed in waking you up... 😏

Always. Its especially true with Hulu

Yeah. I often huff & puff at those. So annoying lol

OMG yes, so dang annoying.

Sometimes ??
Try 90% of the time
Damm Annoying too

It’s intentional

yes and its irritating

Oh yeah

Yes, often!

Yes

In the olden days of TV, they made that illegal. But the fines were easy. So it kept happening. Now that it is not on broadcast television they can do whatever they want.

Yep...it was really bad watching Thursday night football on Prime Video.

Or how the title screen on a DVD is louder then the movie itself.

So you can still hear ot when you go to the kitchen or the bathroom

It's always like that and I HATE it.

It’s true 🙄

I don't have commercials, but I routinely notice during most movies and series that i have to constantly keep my hand on the remote, which is annoying AF

I think the volume should be uniform throughout the entire viewing, it should be required by law, I don't care about anyone's precious artistic expression, I don't want to have to constantly adjust the volume, I wish the people who make these shows would be forced to endure the constant up and down volume for 24 hours straight for a month

The second the ads come on I press mute

All the time at night it's annoying
