I doubt you'd find the ads in the middle of The Voice or similar louder
than the prog. ;-)

The only way to make sure ads ain't louder would be to audition every
single ad break and set the levels for that. Which is never going to
happen - and never has.

And those paying for the ads, and therefore the prog you are watching
wouldn't be happy if it was quieter than it.
