Again, off topic!
@Steven.

From your posts I get the impression that you are into sound recording! And I would also think you have a higher then average sensitivity to stimulus.
If so, then we are in the same boat. I used to be a professional recording engineer back in the UK and I am also sensitive to the ultra compressed audio on the box. It is quite distracting at times.

I tend to hear everything, so compressed audio washes over other ambient sounds that I am used to. This can be very frustrating as the frequency the TV dominates is one of my most sensitive.
