INTRODUCTION
What can be more annoying than those TV commercials on steroid? Here you are watching your favorite TV show when all of a sudden you are ambushed by a very loud TV commercial sending you scrambling for the remote control to turn down the volume.
In some countries it’s now illegal for broadcasters to blast the volume during commercials. But in many others, this TV audio terror is still legal. I hope my TV Volume Loudness Guard will mitigate some of this ad-driven rudeness.
The TV Volume Loudness Guard will listen to your TV and if the volume goes higher than a certain level, it will bring it lower.
There are many uses for this gadget such as keeping the TV volume down when you are in a different room while the kids are watching their favorite music channels. Or when someone blasts the stereo system. The TV Loudness Guard will be ready to keep a lid on it. The TV Loudness Guard should be part of every Big Brother’s bag of tricks 🙂
