On the topic of TV volume levels, I have an amusing story.
The setting: Living in the on-campus apartments of my college during a summer session.
The occasion: Like just about any other night, my group of 10 or so friends were getting hammered.
The turning point: One of my roommates passed out in his bedroom, so I decided to pull a prank on him. We had this porno tape that was pretty lame as porn goes, and we kept it around mostly for laughs because it was so bad (ugly girls, bad shooting, just not quality). I put it on in his room and cranked up the volume to the absolute maximum. I then went to bed myself in the other room, imagining my friend waking up in the middle of the night, totally confused why this shitty porn was cranked all the way up in his bedroom.
The result: Without air-conditioning in the apartments, in the summertime it was a necessity to sleep with the windows open. My friend was entirely too hammered to wake up from it, but it sure woke up the neighbors!

Apparently, the sounds from the porno were cascading throughout the courtyard and could be heard by just about anyone in the vicinity. The RA eventually had to enter our apartment (which was strewn with beers everywhere, on this, a dry campus) in order to stop the movie.
Deneument: The RA was nice enough not to write us up for anything. It seems his girlfriend was sleeping over in his apartment (which is also a no-no on campus). At class the next day I overheard several people that I didn't even know talking about the noises they heard echoing across the complex.
