Do you have a link to compare one or the other?
And don’t say, “Depends!”

I noticed thirty years ago that some advertisers had moderated their sound to make them less annoying.

Yes. But why did they make it to begin with? Who thought anyone wants to be that weird woman?

They can get dumb people like me to stop and stare and wonder, but I never knew what the product was. I don’t get it.

I can’t hit the “mute” button fast enough when that commercial comes on, so I haven’t noticed that they’ve toned down the sound.

Yes, I did notice it, because it was one of those commercials which caused me to make a leaping dive for the MUTE button on the remote.

I didn’t notice because I beat light speed records grabbing the remote and muting that commercial. It’s the only commercial that I do mute.

They not only altered the sound but, at least in the movie cackling scene, they reshot the video. The woman appeared deranged in the original version of the commercial. I wonder if the product manager managed to get his or herself fired by letting the advertising agency’s hideous original commercial get approved and released.

On the incredibly rare occasion that I watch live TV I mute the commercials.

In the New Yawk area, it is 1877kars4kids.

In the Philadelphia area, it is www.webuyanycar.com--those mutha---kas.

When I listen to Dennis prager on his website. It is Neil. Clark. Warren, that a-hole. 34%louder than the radio shoew, and on EVERY commercial break.

As soon as I get a job, I am paying the $50 or so to listen to Dennis uninterrupted. It will be worth every penny. And screw Neil Clark Warren

I’m one of those fortunate individuals that turns my mind in other directions when commercials come on. My wife has learned not to ask my opinion about a commercial because I really do not see/hear them.
