Yes. They are louder.
I think the idea is to catch our attention, and make us remember them?
Well they do catch the attention, but only cause severe irritation. I mute them, and don't listen at all. As I imagine most people do. It's noise warfare basially. And who likes to be assaulted?
There is another ploy they are using, probably to counteract the automatic volume-control that a lot of TVs now employ.
Advertisers are also adding attention-grabbing back-ground noises, like the sound of a cell-phone ringing, or other 'vibratory sounds' at higher frequencies, that cause you to pay attention to what you're hearing -- you are trying to discern, "...what is that sound?", all the while making yourself more available to their subliminal messaging.... It's a down-right nasty business, marketing!
