Annoying loud commercials to get scrutiny
I found a little walkatound that can help you. This will help even out the volume levels and will definitely ease most of the problems that users are having to face right now. What Google should do about the issue is adding an option to normalize YouTube’s audio, the kind that has been mentioned below. And the good news is that we have an explanation. Users still at least have a right to know about the reason behind the occurrence of this issue. The worst part is that there is seemingly nothing that can be done about the matter. So when the sound goes from a whisper, to a high-volume, regular speaking voice, it not only shocks me and prevents me from sleeping, but it also hurts my ears. I enjoy using ASMR videos to go to sleep, but the ads are so much louder, and for ASMR, you NEED to have the volume up because that’s how you experience it. This is a problem for ASMR videos in particular. A loud ad between content like this, no matter how short, can ruin the overall experience, let alone completely kill off a sleepy mood. People often consume such content prior to sleep with their volume turned all the way up.

ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, is a pleasing sensation that ASMR videos aim to induce.

Moreover, certain content on YouTube, by nature, have their overall volume low. Several users also complained that such ads have ended up hurting their ears, which is understandable considering how wide the disparity in volume levels can get between actual content and ads. Complainants say that they often get jump-scared when a loud ad begins playing suddenly, without any warning. There are several instances of such complaints across YouTube forums and Reddit. My ears are still beeping from the latest sudden blast. I know nobody can talk or complain to Youtube itself, but I needed to vent somewhere. The difference can be enormous and sometimes hurts my ears. I really want Youtube to equalize the volume of advertisements to that of the video it is placed in. That too by an irritatingly large margin. Now, the most obvious fix for this issue would be to turn down the volume (duh!).īut no, that won’t work in this case, as YouTube ads aren’t just loud in general, but are loud when compared to the actual content that users watch. Not everyone wants to pay for the subscription though, and some of such users seem to be having a hard time putting up with the advertisements.Ĭomplaints keep pouring in about how YouTube ads are way too loud, and they have been coming in for quite a long time. However, YouTube also offers a relatively cheap Premium membership for those who want to get rid of the annoying ads. The harmony part may not hold true for the average users though, as they are forced to watch multiple ads before and in-between most videos. It is a simple model with a harmonious relationship of sorts between the three above-mentioned parties. The YouTube platform essentially functions on an advertising-supported revenue model wherein companies pay YouTube to display their ads, and in turn, YouTube pays the content creators based on their number of views.
