Not that I'm aware of.
I vaguely remember some Federal regulation in the 80's or 90's, that limited the increased volume that broadcast commercials were using over the regular program volume. They wanted to get your attention. I don't believe that pertained to cable or eventually streaming.
Just bought a Smart Samsung TV that has a mode for "audio normalization'', that at least keeps the volume at a consistent level. A good tablet or PC audio card will also have this feature. So it depends on the device.
I believe there is a tone or some method in the audio/video stream to identify that it is time for a commercial, so a device is possible, but would be subject to numerous law suits.
