I actually like the music in a movie to blow my hair back, but I can see how it might bother others. What I don't understand is why my hearing is still good.

About TV, I thought what had recently been implemented in the USA was a regulation that the commercial could not exceed the average level of the volume of the show it appeared within - something like that. I'm sure somebody here knows the specifics.

And, on a less serious note (!), don't knock that supermarket music. Why, some of us get paid for that, and I'm not willing to give up my $5 per year for being streamed on some subscription service. I've heard myself while on hold to Verizon, but I hope not to hear myself in an elevator. That's just going too far.
