AIUI the companies that produce the adverts like to boost the "loudness" of the sound (ie the mid-range frequencies) because they seem to think it makes them stand out more without causing distortion.

Of course all they *actually* do is cause people to reach for the volume/ mute control and ignore the advert entirely!

P$$$$$g off potential customers is *not* a good way to do business!
