Volume regulator for Loud commercials

Sonos, please create a software update that will regulate, or keep consistent the fluctuations in volume for Loud commercials. This will be a game changer and I feel as though it's gotten worse on streaming applications. The volume of commercials is so loud you need to sit there and lower the volume, then increase when your program returns. The FCC will do nothing, and even if they did you would have to file complaints against each commercial. After purchasing the ARC, sub and Sonos One’s to create a home theatre system, I will only upgrade to a new system or television that will offer this option, as it has become such a nuisance. Advertisers will continue to push the limits until it has gotten out of control.

Thank you for that very good explanation which does make sense. Why is it that this phenomenon of compression only happens with certain stations on my Sonos? Who would I need to communicate to in order to get it changed if that is even possible?

I'm not sure, since there does not seem to be any regulation on this (and a strong commercial motive to keep doing it), I'd start with the radio network. Contradict the commercial motive: “I'll stop listening if you do not change this behaviour by your advertisers”.
