I am complaining about their offensive and insulting commercial that features a car alarm with the volume pumped up to the max.in the media lately it is well known that the american public is fed up with companies blasting out commercials at high volumes.in answer to the noise pollution that many advertisers use to pitch their products Dunkin Donuts purposely included a commercial that utilizes a very high frequency sound intended to annoy and distract the viewer no matter what volume the TV is on. I've already seen other commercials copy this offensive pattern by including the sounds of alarm clocks and car horns and other obtrusive and intentionally annoying sounds. The country has hundreds of thousands of people with tinnitus and many have hyperacusis. The sounds emitted by this commercial are actually dangerous to many people, including myself. My left ear literally ACHES every time I hear this piece of crud of a commercial. I try to avoid it but they bombard the airwaves here, especially on Fox TV. I have pretty much boycotted Fox now but sadly some of my housemates still turn to that channel. I truly think that this commercial is dangerous to people with high frequency hearing loss and they should NOT have to be bombarded with this incredibly offensive and irritating commercial. We already pay to watch TV as it is, why do we have to pay with our health? People should not have to worry about high frequency hearing loss just because a corporation is hellbent on trying to drum their pitch into one's consciousness. I truly hope you pass this complaint to the proper officials and hold their feet to the fire. This commercial needs to be pulled from the air immediately.
SincerelyMichael Occhipinti.
