TV channel volume is not consistent across all channels. Volume inconsistencies occur because different channels and networks produce content with varying audio levels, and advertisements are often processed to sound louder, even if they aren't technically higher in decibels. Each network has its own audio, production, and broadcasting standards, resulting in different volume levels. Commercials are frequently processed with sound compression, making them appear louder than the TV show content. Different audio formats, such as 5.1 Dolby Digital vs. 2.0 stereo, can produce significant volume differences. Stereo (2.0) content is often louder than 5.1, as experienced on streaming services like YouTube TV. Like many TVs, your TV should have automatic volume leveling, normalization, or night mode features that can be enabled to help normalize the sound level. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) does not regulate the specific volume of programs, but they do require that commercials cannot be louder than the loudest part of the preceding program...^Ivan.
