Ban loud ads on all streaming platforms!
As more and more streaming services are requiring users to pay a higher fee to avoid watching commercials, subscribers are being inundated with ads that are often blaring at volumes much higher than what they’re watching. And these advertisers are paying billions of dollars to get placements on streaming services.
Demand state electeds pass commonsense legislation that prioritizes everyday Americans over corporations and their advertisers!
Why is this important?
California just passed a law mandating that ads on streaming services match the noise level of the movie or television show being watched. So the framework already exists—we just need more states to take action and implement it.
Their crackdown on excessively loud ads is set to go into effect July 1, 2026, and would cut down on noise pollution that disturbs homes and wakes sleeping children.
And it’s not the first time there’s been reform around loud ads. In 2010, Congress passed federal legislation called the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act to bring quiet commercials to cable television and radio shows.
Now, streamers must adhere to the CALM Act in California—and leaders nationwide should ensure they’re required to do the same in every state.
Add your name to the petition and demand that streaming platforms dial down the volume on their ads.
