For you TV watchers

The government did something right for once!

Once signed into effect, the new legislation will require that all advertisers modulate their volume down so it's no higher than that of the program you're watching, and it'll be the FCC's duty to ensure that they all adhere to the new rule.

I wonder how much that'll change things. I believe the last rule was something like the commercials could be no louder than the loudest point in the show (don't know how many actually were though)

I hate those commercials, when you're home sick so you're just resting on the couch, and then they crank the volume up and wake ya up!

that was the rule. Problem is a single noise (like a gunshot) skewed the numbers.
