I’m not usually one for more laws. I generally feel that the less laws the better. On the topic of the audible volume of television commercials; It would be ideal if people just stopped watching channels that participated in the practice of jacking the volume on commercials, but that has not happened.

The U.S. Senate has done someting about it by passing S.2847 that states:

To regulate the volume of audio on commercials.

It seems the intent is to limit commercial volume to the same volume of the interrupted program. I hope this one makes it all the way.
