ELI5: Why can the sound volume of commercials on internet TV be double the actual show's volume?
gpt
The commercials are allowed to be as loud as the shows.  That means if the show has a gunshot, or an explosion, or a big dramatic music swell, then the commercial is allowed to be as loud as that.  Thing is, the loudest sound in the show lasts for a few seconds at most, whereas the volume in the commercial is as high as that for the whole 30 seconds.
