Val (Zebedee) Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 yep, the adverts do have increased volume but when the volume is up cos someone in the house is - erm, hard of hearing (but won't admit it) I get my eardrums blown off when the ads come on!

Husky-gunner Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ok so I am not on my own here but why is it that it happens Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I just found this as an explanation: The reason we get “blasted†at commercial time is determined by how the audio levels are recorded when creating their ads. Affectively, the process is called dynamic range compression, or “compression†for short. Compression is applied to reduce sounds that get recorded over certain levels while the quieter sounds do not get reduced. In the process, the advertisers take liberal advantage of the mid range tones to exploit our senses, since those aren’t affected as much. To sum it up, compression is used to increase the average level of sound, effectively making it louder. Clear as mud?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazz Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 We have a law for that. TV ads can no longer be at a higher volume than regular programming. They used to be real loud before the law went into effect. Now some of them are even at a lower volume than the program and you can hardly hear them.
