I had just finally got use to the beautiful regulation that commercials were at the same volume as the program I was watching. Now it seems like there are more and more periods of no dialog in TV programs just so the music can be played loudly. It's beginning to feel like advertising for the music track. Plus, the higher volume of the music requires a quick grab for the remote to turn it down. Then, when the music is over, you have to turn the volume back up to be able to hear the dialog once again!
Although commercials have had to lower their volume, I am starting to note that some commercials have started to be louder again. Has anyone else noted this in the US?

I posted this very same rant a couple weeks ago. I agree completely. I've had this complaint for years because it's been going on for years, and seems it just keeps getting worse. I guess nobody reviews/audits the edits/mix/scores whatever you call the total stitching together of all the parts, because the final result is atrocious. There's really not much need for dialog at all since you can't hear any of it. You may as well switch on the subtitles and read whatever storyline there's supposed to be. I have the same complaint about music. If the song has lyrics, would it not make sense to assure that the listener can actually HEAR those lyrics? I could rant all day long about this.
