Abstract
The loudness of prime-time television programs and commercials was measured by obtaining 30-s Leq sound levels at a typical viewer location in a representative living area. Preliminary results suggest that the overall sound levels are similar for both the commercials and the programs. However, the range of sound levels is much greater from the programs in comparison with the commercials, which all tend to be at the same higher sound level. The subjective differences are presented in terms of the statistical descriptions and frequency content of the sounds.
