Federal regulations limiting the volume of television commercials went into effect on Thursday.
Congress passed the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act in 2010 to give the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the authority to write and enforce the rules.
The FCC approved the regulations last year and gave the industry one year to comply.
The rules require broadcast, cable and satellite television providers to keep the average volume of commercials at the same level as the programming containing them.
