Louder commercials than TV have long been illegal, but they don't enforce it. I know someone however that used to call or email or whatever the station to complain when they did it and they would stop for at least a bit because of those laws that went mostly unenforced.

But the less cynical more hopeful generations before us had passed those common sense laws and enforced them at one point.
