US Loud commercial ban in effect today

Soon you’ll probably notice a volume difference in commercials on TV – that’s because President Obama signed the CALM Act today (the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act) which makes sure commercial providers and makers are airing commercials that have sound levels equivalent of that of the original programming.

This was made possible because consumers have complained about loud commercials on TV for many years.

With that, the FCC has set up an FAQ page for consumers to report such loud commercials from TV stations that exceed the rest of the TV programming.
