The way they make them louder defeats most agc's on TV's
Here is an explanation of how they do it

Techie answer ... the adverts are more compressed so have a narrower dynamic range of sound. In simple terms ... if you imagine a dB meter which ranges from 0-8. Ideally you set the sound so that speech peaks at the number of 6. In between though are a lot quieter bits. And the odd louder bit.
Now if you compress the sound you set it so, for example, the needle will never fall below 5 or go above 6. Anything louder than 6 will be brought down. Anything quieter than 5 will be turned up. And to all of us it sounds louder. Mainly because, for the most part, it is. But the actual peak sound, the loudest noise, is no higher and so the companies can rightly say they're played out at the same level
