I think I may be in the minority in being untroubled by this particular lifestyle issue, though. The House has passed — on a voice vote — Anna Eshoo’s (D-CA) Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act. The CALM Act, would direct the FCC to regulate TV commercial volume to be pegged to the volume of regular programming, so as not to be “excessively noisy or strident.” Seems to be a real crowd pleaser.
Sounds good to me.
