# The most time I spend shouting at the TV is when the German adverts come on
Partly also because they have the volume so loud (usually about twice as loud as the programme).

And they last forever. In the UK you have time for a pee and make a quick cuppa. In Germany you could give birth and watch baby's first steps in the commercial breaks.

# Yes
The fact that they are making me want to push white hot knives in my ears and get me reaching for the mute button is a sales technique I am unfamiliar with

# Bless 'em RTL and Pro-Sieben (and a couple of others I can't recall)
were responsible for outlawing the video technology that allowed german VCR units be able to skip adverts when recording.

Cheeky feckers.

# Don't think so.
If 3dB SPL is the smallest incrimental increase in volume a person can detect, 5 is not a very large increase at all. I'd say probably about 10.:P
