Illinois passed a similar law, giving services more incentive to make ads less booming.

Not in the US, but I'd go even further and ban any ad mimicking an "alerting" kind of sound, especially starting with it.

Alarms, ringtones, even loud door knocking. Even worse, traffic sounds with car horns (rare, but some still do this shit somehow). I can't believe some of the ads I get are still legal, deliberately stressing you to get your attention shouldn't be.

Those car horn/siren radio ads are worse than Internet clickbait and dangerous. Hate them worse than extra loud ads.
