YES!!!!!
I go on at Gordon all the time for turning the TV up, I give him such a hard time, poor man, however I don't think he is all blameless.
The adverts are really loud, I try to mute the sound as soon as they come on, there was an article sometime back stating the huge profits made through TV adverts maybe the extra sound had something to do with it.
We buy any car.com is the one Ad that definitely gets muted!
