Vinted Advert - Why So Loud

[JeniPeni]

We've just been watching a programme; adverts came on and the above advert was so loud we had to turn down the TV 3 notches! Why are some adverts/programmes louder rhan others? Tsk!

Thanks Mamyalynne. To gain impact it says - it has the opposite effect 'cause people will turn it down or over rather than listening/watching the advert.

I tend to agree with you, can be annoying.

I also think they wind up the volume because they know people go off to the kitchen to make a drink when the adverts come on and they want to make sure you can still hear them there.
