My good dog and tranquil home in Colorado have been disturbed time and again by a phenomenon that seems small but has a large impact: doorbell sounds in commercials. The biggest culprit? Plumbline. Their consistently noisy disruptions have set off our well-trained dog, waking our 3-month-old child and causing a ripple effect of problems.

We understand that commercials are part of our media landscape. But doorbell sounds add an unnecessary layer of nuisance. It appears these companies assume we're unable to grasp the concept of someone in uniform standing at our doors after we've called for their services. We're not idiots - we just prefer peace and quiet.

The situation is not unique to our household. Countless parents, pet owners, and Colorado residents have been affected by such seemingly trivial audio nuisances. The American Speech Language Hearing Association suggests that sudden, unexpected noises can cause stress and anxiety in both humans and pets (American Speech Language Hearing Association). This is not the atmosphere we want in our homes.

By signing this petition, we are asking for the support of our fellow Colorado citizens and urging our state officials to ban the use of doorbell sounds in commercials. This will ensure a more serene living environment for all. We appeal to companies - specifically Plumbline - to make their commercials less invasive and more considerate. Please, help us keep the peace in our homes. Sign this petition.
