Did you know that loud TV commercials are actually against the law? The CALM Act passed by Congress back in 2011 directed the FCC to set rules around the volume of TV commercials, which the FCC proceeded to do -- partly by adopting a rule that said TV commercials need to have the same average volume "as the programs they accompany." Seems pretty straightforward, right?
Well, the FCC is serious enough about this issue that it's asking for public comment from people who have something to say about loud commercials they've been bothered by. Because the volume of these complaints is reportedly on the rise.
