Forget volume control! Replace the loud commercials with the music you want to hear. Check out the "TV Muffler Commercial Blocker" available on Amazon.

Finally something is being done about the overly loud commercials. We live in Nevada and the commercials are about twice as loud as the programs are. For example, my husband and I were just talking while watching a movie. We were able to talk in normal voices and then when the commercial came on, we had to put it just to hear each other. I'm glad that somebody is actually doing something about it.

OMG, with our country in the shambles that it is we have nothing better to do in our Government except worry about the volume of a commercial? Cut the budget? Seems to me it should start with stupid crap like this. Trouble always brews at the top, now we know who's really wasting our tax dollars huh?

The first newspiece about a bill being passed to
ban loud commercials at night, that is rediculous!
I've never experienced that on our TV sets, here,
so why even say that these commercials are loud?
I think they're refering to the 2 Geico commercials,
one with the squealing piggy (Wheeeeeee! Wheeeeeeee!)
and the one with the mother in the kitchen who's
terrified of a pile of money with eyeballs (YEEEEEP!).
In other words, they just banned something on TV
that's probably shown at normal volume, anyway. It
must be their TV sets that's causing the loudness.
