California law forces Netflix, Hulu to turn down ad volumes (www.politico.com)

The new California law is aimed at addressing what the Federal Communications Commission has called a “troubling jump” in TV ad noise complaints, fueled by streamers airing commercials louder than the shows and movies they accompany. It’s modeled off a federal law passed in 2010 that caps ad volumes on cable and broadcast TV, but doesn’t apply to streaming services.

Too bad we can't force them to lower the volume of ads as in the quantity.
