I often like to have the sound down pretty low when I'm listening to audio
at home, usually TV. The problem is that I live in a small apartment and
whenever the forced-air heating or the refridgerator comes on, I have to
turn the sound up to compensate for the noise.

Is there anything on the market that can automatically adjust the volume to
compensate for ambient noise? All I've been able to find are
speed-compensating volume systems in car audio, or ambient noise
cancellation in headphones. Nothing for non-headphone home audio.
