Ad Feedback - Ads too loud

Please tell someone at Pandora to stop playing the Mancini ad where the women says " come on girls, lets go " and then a 3 year old screams. Just as i am chilled out after listening to a great song that ad comes on and ruins my kwa! Yes I know I can pay and not hear commercials but .... I don't do that. In any case I will NEVER buy anything from Mancini as a result of the screaming 3 year old ad. Someone for the love of God please get them to stop playing this!!!! Thank you.

Hi @Transpo52 , thanks for your feedback about the ads volume.

I moved your post to this thread to keep the community organized.

As mentioned on the accepted solution, music has a much wider dynamic range (the difference in volume between the softest and loudest parts) in comparison to ads. As a result, only the loudest parts of songs may sound as loud as commercials. These dynamic differences between music and ads can also vary based on the genre of music or when the track was recorded.

Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to change the volume of ads dependent upon the station on which they play.

I also wanted to note that if you are worried about the audio quality not being good enough, both Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium stream at a higher quality, and come with a number of other benefits you might find attractive.

And regarding the quantity of music, we’re always looking for new content to add to our library, so if you would like us to add a particular, song, album or artist to repertoire, please feel free to share any of your suggestions on our Music Suggestions 2025 thread.

Hope this helps clarify!

Ads are so loud

Every time an ad comes on and I’m not ready it hurts my ears. I have to turn it down by five just to have a normal volume ad. Making it very tempting to just move over to spotify or youtube music like a normal person.

It is illegal to increase volume of commercials, and not sure how all these companies get away with it.
