It's in almost every movie and drives me crazy. Often it surges and reduces in between sentences and sometimes I just use the subtitles like other posts above. I am not hard of hearing either. Try the girl with the dragon tattoo to see what I mean. History channel does it too with constant zooming in and out of the camera angle. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/89560#comment_60782 I'm a good friend of somebody currently in a legal dispute with the lovely David Duff or Roberts and Jacqueline Caws, Duff or as she is also known Pandora Roberts, any help anybody can give would be great. From information gathered it is apparent that these people live there lives on other peoples money and we really think it is time it stopped, especially when one of his latest victims is a 70 year old lady being stung for £20k, please contact me at dorisanddave23@yahoo.co.uk http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/533323#comment_60473 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/1055946#comment_60443 What a load of waffle! If only we could all get paid for waffling as the majority of politicians are? I am asking all you politicians to look up the Wright show - Channel 5 when a fireman phoned in and cried as he had been a fireman for 30 years until he was CRB checked and then just dismissed as if he was some useless animal. Most people do stupid acts when they are young - this does not mean they all grow up to beat and abuse children but act sensible and only wish to work and contribute to society. I wonder how many politicians would be left if they were CRB checked - Not Many! I would lijke to ask this question, "What gives you people the right to destroy people's lives and keep them out of work". There is not one of you with the guts to answer that question as we all know. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/1152784#comment_60377 According to irrelevant media reports: Italian clothing obstinate voluptuousness esteem brand ，プラダ トートバッグ ，Prada is currently making allowance in search whether to burlesque up the Indian market.

It is getting worse & applies to all channels. Enjoyment of dramas in particular is spoilt. It is long pass time something was done about it. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_59957 I agree with virtually all of comments made. I have minor hearing loss, not bad enough for a hearing aid [ tested 2012] I also suffer with minor tinnitus. My enjoyment of TV programmes is totally spoiled by the fact that I cannot hear the dialogue over the volume of the background music and background sounds, which makes me very angry indeed. The sound levels must be addressed at source as most tv,s cannot adjust this at all. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_59793 The loud music and bass thumping behind so many shows is terrible! It drowns out the dialog, adds nothing, and sometimes is actually physically uncomfortable. I watch much less TV ( hence fewer ads) because the dialog ( the important partner to the action) is too hard to understand. PLEASE put the background music back where it belongs - in the background. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/1151072#comment_59612 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_59526 I cannot tell you how much this use of so called " background music"spoils my enjoyment of TV programmes , Crashing cymbals, Thudding and banging of percussion instruments does not enhance my pleasure ,and God help those with hearing difficulties. This has reached intolerable levels of intrusion and must be curbed , Loud noises can have detrimental effects on hearing . http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_59362 This post started over five years ago and In 2013, the introduction to the BBC News is still accompanied by that annoying thumping noise that goes on for a full minute - and randomly throughout the programme! Why do they still persist in annoying people? Clearly, they don't care to take any notice of these numerous complaints. Until they do, I will continue to switch over to a more peaceful and watchable Sky News!! http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_59299 I have just given up watching a program tonight on CI channel. 'Gangland - Aryan Terror'. The background music was driving me nuts. Does anyone out there have the kudos to start a petition or perhaps get a newspaper involved to stop this? http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_59207 We love the chase on ITV but when Bradley Walsh asks the questions the background music is very annoying and the questions cannot always be heard. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_59185 The trivialising of tv documentaries by overbearing, inappropriate, and unnecessary so-called background music has ruined the enjoyment of the programmes for countless thousands of viewers. Cannot these programmes be broadcast either in stereo where one can turn the music channel down or off, or alternatively, be shown on a different channel without the music. Producers need to consider much more the needs of their audience than of pandering to the whims of 'music' advisers who, far from enhancing the quality of a programme, usually destroy it. They should remember the mantra that 'if you are aware of the background music, then it is too loud' - and becomes a gratuitous noise which is an insult to one's ears and intelligence. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_59153 It would appear from all the repeated comments about intrusive music and space filled thumping noises, that nothing is being done by any producer, including our own CBC to rectify the situation - therefore we the listening audience should simply turn out and turn off the worst offenders. During fund raising drives, refuse to donate until we, as a body, get some consideration for our tortured eardrums. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_59150 With the advent of digital television it is possible to transmit a programme with and without the background music. Please do so and permit me to understand your programmes ( so long as I also have on the subtitles). When I cannot understand anything, even with subtitles, you have 'got it wrong'. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_58924 Please, someone who can, reduce the senseless "music", drumming, popping, clacking, and all background noise on TV. We want to hear the dialogue! http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/44226#comment_58866 You may like to know that 7 years after the false allegation was made about me which further to earlier Family Court abuse totally destroyed my family life, that I eventually got a FACT FINDING HEARING (as if one was ever needed for such a ridiculous allegation with absolutely no evidence to sustain it). I won this. Why is it that my innocence is not published all over the internet with the Judgement so that Lawyers can appreciate the damage they do to Children? Despite some contact, indeed, the damage was done and Family life is non-existent now, with other Children problems that I can't go into here. Martin Stringer--Good Father. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_58672 The BBC make some world beating documentaries... which are then spoiled by the overbearing music. I don't know how many people suffer from this problem but it must be a vary high percentage of the elderly. I have phoned several times to complain only to be told 'It is for dramatic effect'. I can understand it at times but not when someone is talking. I wonder what they would say if whilst they were taking to someone I held a radio alongside their ear with loud music playing. They don't seem to be listening to their customers. either. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_58627 How on earth has musical noise become so pervasive in all cinema and TV programs?? What is the human condition that made musical noise a "requirement" or a "necessity" in watch & listen programs?? After all, it must cost money to generate and insert the noise! It must be assumed that program makers assume that the public wants to hear musical noise, -- yet, I have never heard and person say that they like or enjoy listening to the musical noise. Has there been any surveys done as to whether people do like or dislike musical noise? On the psychological level, I would suggest that the English unconsciously want musical noise. They cannot abide silence because they are very quiet people. Is England the place where musical noise germinated?? If you want examples of musical noise listen to a BBC documentary. The musical noise is even to be found as a background to dialogue. What say you? Laurence Cachia 17/01/13 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_58357 I thought I was the only one to complain about background music but it appears there are 1000s of you.What can be done about it??? http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_58293 At last !! I find I am not the only person who finds the use of background music/noise totally pointless and not needed , I find most American programmes have music so loud that you can't even hear the dialogue. Why do traffic reports require a 'music' background ? I think if we could find the sponsors of the most guilty programmes and state we were going to boycott their shows and their products,then maybe they may listen to us. I do feel sorry for the sound recordists as they have all their hard work drowned out by the appalling noise , 'music'. I do wonder whether there is a slightly sinister reason that the producers receive backhanders if they use a certain tune,I can't think of any other reason. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_58270 Background noise has put us off watching some programs, Some of the programs we would like to watch and start watching, we have to switch off, it is so frustrating. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_57915 I fully agree with all that has been stated on this subject. It is particularly irritating on BBC News as well. The headlines are first read to a fierce drumming background which gives way to a 'stuck' recording of a single violin which only reduces to silence when the ever-increasingly long headlines are read all over again! Traffic news has a similar affliction. Why on earth is 'music' needed to accompany the frantic gabble of road names by an announcer giving details of affected routes? http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_57887 I also totally agree with the previous comments I am not hard of hearing but find documentaries and several cooking programmes so irritating when the background music actually drowns the diction!I am constantly adjusting the volume control ...Producers and Directors PLEASE take note!! http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_57882 I totally agree that music played during documentaries and dramas is unnecessary and serves only to distract, I'm sure David Attenborough would agree.Why are producers, of such programmes, so deaf to our pleas? http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_57819 I am not hard of hearing but I am increasingly upset by the fact that I cannot understand the dialogue due to very loud background music. CBS prime-time shows are particularly annoying. Please stop the music when there is dialogue in the show! http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_57799 I agree .The music now is foreground not background and so intrusive,it detracts significantly from my enjoyment of the show . Dramatic music and a drawling bass comentary for a show about cooking!! Come on ! I ask you ,where will it end ? http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_57473 I'm a musician and I find it increasingly difficult to hear dialogue in many films and programmes. It's not the fault of musicians but of those who then turn up the volume during production. The problem is not only the volume of music but all background effects - traffic noise, footsteps etc drowning out the dialogue. Musicians have no control over what the technicians and artistic directors do to the performance in these circumstances. I'm convinced that 'cloth ears' are the sole qualification for a job as sound engineer. Glad to hear all these comments. I really thought our tv was faulty. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_57310 I live in the mid west USA. Last night my wife and I watched a very intresting PBS documenty about the dust storms, and drought in the Southern plains during the 1930s. The farm kids who lived though this time were all but drowned out by the continuous background din. The narrator, Peter Coyote however, had the background noise scaled down, so that his points could be understood. The film-makers should do this for all the dialogue, Please. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_57078 I would like to have the choice to turn all the background music off completely. I hardly watch any tv now due to the intensely irritating and usually crashing music that accompanies almost every programme. In many programmes the music hardly ceases for even a few seconds, even when someone is talking. It's like watching through a fog. I am not old or deaf and enjoy listening to music - but not while I am watching a documentary/nature programme. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_56778 I totally support the many comments on this site, as I find it extremely frustrating to attempt to listen to the spoken words in many BBC programs, because of the totally unnecessary intrusion of music. I cannot really understand the reason for this intrusive music - it adds nothing to the significance or meaning of the spoken word, and as is obvious from the innumerable comments on this site, merely servos to confuse and frustrate the listener who is genuinely trying to concentrate on the meaning and significance of the spoken word. Surely the BBC must understand that their most important function for their listeners is to communicate clearly and artiiculately the meaning and significance of all their spoken programs, and not to give free reign to the back room boys in the music room to show how clever they are in adulterating the spoken word with the totally unnecessary musical background http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_56736 Background intrusive music played when viewing drama, nature, history, etcshows has become intolerable and must stop. Any time a character is speaking, the same repetative so-called music drowns out the dialogue, and with some actors they cannot enunciate anyway and the whole show is lost. There is no rhyme or reason and it takes away from the plot, the information given. Most if not all the time they play the same repetative notes over and over. One recent example is NCIS Los Angeles. the music never stopped whether it was played to enhance a "chase" or just normal dialogue. Most shows of all types are being ruined. Maybe the way to go on this is to email the sponsors because I am sure many shows are being turned off--have done this many times myself. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_56695 must check outlet chanel for gift rFxvLSNL http://www.chanel--outlet.org/ http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_56031 We have turned off many shows and movies because of the background music. there is no reason to have a show if they are going to drown out the talking, you cannot even figure out what the show is about! I don"t know who's brainstorm this was; but it wasn't a good one! http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_55400 The problem of intrusive music in tv programmes gets worse. Foe some time, documentaries have been ruined by overpowering and irrelevant music, and now regrettably the same is happening to drama. Critical points in the last two episodes of New Tricks have been overlaid by gratuitous and un-necessary music which far from enhancing the atmosphere has not only detracted from it but has also, when one can hear the dialogue, considerably reduced its impact. Please, please exclude this synthesised rubbish from our viewing enjoyment or show versions of programmes without it on separate channel. After all, we pay a licence fee to be entertained for our benefit and not for the benefit synthesising nerds. Will producers please take note. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_55351 Have become increasingly more aware of TV progs with excessive background music and other cacophonous unnecessary sounds ..... so much so that I figured it had to be ME ....until I googled the phenomenon .. so how does one get any body's attention about this intrusion into our everyday lives ???? http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_55265 I can barely tolerate most TV shows because of the backround music. Coronation Street is still good. Please don't follow this irritating trend. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_55243 My wife and I also find the music far to loud and very frustrating, so much so that in the last week we have switched off two documentaries and one play, today we where watching a program on the BBC called Rip off Britain. But we had to switch it off the music was so intrusive it became quite stressful. i do hope program makers of all programs take notice. We all need to follow the speech not the noise. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_55075 We have wonderful documentories on the UK TV. Why do they have to be ruined by the noise (not music) that goes with them these days - a sad gimmick. Isn't a person's voice good enough? It is insulting to have that row on when somebody is talking. Surely it could cut the cost and improve the quality without! So many people just switch to something 'live' or listen to real music. Please get your act together. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_54781 Documentaries are becoming increasingly unwatchable for me because of ghastly, tuneless, repetitive and irritating music noises in the background. Not only does this make it difficult to hear the dialogue but it gets on my nerves so much that I have to turn the program off to get some relief! I've also noticed recently the increase in phoney 'background' noises (traffic,juke box, hum of conversation, etc) which now seem to be obligatory in 'soaps'. They are so loud and intrusive that I often find it difficult to follow anything that's being said so I'm frequently unable to follow the plot! http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/211806#comment_54769 Gift tax and probate must be really hard to work out too... http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_54377 There are occasions when music enhances a particular programme but far too often it drowns out dialogue making those of us fortunate to have Sky plus do at least one rewind to hear what was indistinct due to intrusive music. Obviously the programmers think this style of presentation is perfect but it's a bit like the Emperor's clothes - it's time they opened their ears to hear what the majority of us hear (or fail to hear). http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_52368 My wife and I are not hard of hearing but we are cosidering getting shot of our TVs because of the frustration caused by over music. We think that the radio and a DVD monitor may be a better bet. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/304514#comment_52146 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_51999 I am not hard of hearing, but I find that my enjoyment of many very good history programmes spoilt by the presence of intrusive background music and sound effects that bring the level down to that of the cheapest tabloid journalism. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/484133#comment_51991 Dear Mr Cameron, As a Rugby resident,( where a crematorium is planned in an area near to schools etc) I would urge you to look into legislation permitting the use of the 'Promessa" system of disposal. As you will be aware, this system does not produce the toxicity of cremation or the use of fuel etc. and is, therefore, environmentally desirable, with very little use of valuable land and resources. I feel Britain should be one of the world leaders using 'Promession' ( and Rugby possibly the first British town!) and I look forward to it's use being legal in our country very soon. Sincerely, Margaret Duckworth. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_51979 It would appear to me that the broadcasters have simply lost the plot. When people complain about background music (including noise which isn't really music), the response seems to be that it 'creates a mood'. This may be relevant in the case of a drama where the impact may be heightened by music, but it is most definitely not required in fact-based programmes where viewers usually want to make up their own minds based on content. What, for example, is the point of a music sound track attached to a science programme. Do the producers really think that it clarifies the message in some way, or do they have an agenda aimed at influencing our thoughts - Big Brother-like. Nature programmes also suffer, with a sort of tacit assumption that nature as she is can only hold an audience if the 'mood' is right. Just imagine taking a country walk in which a background noise makes it hard to hear the very sounds that are the object of the walk (bird-song, wind in the trees, flowing water etc.). And the experience that we get from observing (and listening to) nature programmes really is compromised by the this mindless insinuation of pointless music(and/or noise).
