Advertising Standards Authority deal with complaints and have made judgements against a few of them but most of them seem to be within the allowed limits.
Main problem is than none of an advert is quiet. Any sounds within one that woudn't be as loud as the rest are boosted up whereas in normal speech or whatever the actual interrupted program contained sound levels fluctuate all the time.
