Loud commercials suck. So do the people who create them. I recently adjusted the settings on my HDTV to auto-adjust these loudmouth ads, but a few months later, they came back, having found a way around my TV settings. Finally there’s an easy way to quiet them down. A way that will hopefully work for good.

SRS Labs’ MyVolume adapter, is a $99 plug-and-play box that connects to your cable or satellite box via HDMI. Plug it in, and just like that, everything is leveled out to the same volume. The guys over at Dvice recently had some ears-on time with the gadget and it seems to do the trick.

Is your Xbox 360 too loud? Is it hot and just too compact for you? The Lian-Li PC-XB01 case mod will let you rest easy. The case is like a silencer for the disc drive thanks to sound-proofing foam. It also has great airflow to keep things chill via a 120mm fan or optional water cooling system.

And if you like a console that’s got some extra cushion for the button pushin’, this case is about four times the size of the 360. No pricing yet, but it should be available this August.

Everybody hates a loud keyboard. It annoys the person using it almost as much as it annoys those around you. The noise gets in your head and claws away at your brain. That’s why the ReallyCool Keyboard (As in, look at our name we’re really cool. Isn’t that clever? The keyboard is cool and so is the name. And it only took a minute to come up with.) is quiet.

As a bonus, it’s also waterproof, should you be inclined to go diving while tethered to your PC. It even sports backlighting, for those typing in the dark for some unknown reason. This keyboard is becoming quite popular in places where noise is a no no, so it must be easy on the ears. Be warned, quiet doesn’t equal cheap. It will cost you it’s $199, in black or cool gray.
