I am one of those awkward people who have to go to sleep with noise. |

It's not just you, Sue. Its one of those things that annoy us as well especially as we (I) tend to have the volume up quite loud anyway. |

There have been complaints in the paper about the volume of the ads and yes they are louder. The BBC ads are louder as well. |

The irritating thing is on an old TV we had the automatic volume adjust feature which kicked in when the adverts were really loud. On our new TVs this option isn't available......I'm sure the advertisers pay the developers NOT to include this feature. |

I get very annoyed about programmes where you have to turn the volume up almost to full capacity, but you still can't hear the speaking over the background music and noises! |

I also agree with that, when people whisper we are, as viewers, supposed to hear what is being said or we lose the plot (in both senses). |

Rollo, I think you'll find, had you bothered to read it, that the article I gave a link to WAS about the BCAP rules. |

Maggie, I knew about the guidelines BUT do these relate to the 'old' analogue channels? |

Sue, As it's under the BCAP code (not legislation) I would have thought they were still relevant. |

Supercrutch - could you use a timer, the sort you plug in, and set it to switch itself off a few minutes after you would expect you would be asleep anyway. I used to do this at night so that I could fall asleep over a book! |
