If you are watching TV you can turn down the volume.

  • Jump scares often use sound to frighten - a jarring change or loud/frightening sound. Lowering the sound will counteract this and also decrease your immersion, making it less scary.

Other Advice:

  • Just remember that it's not real. The more you know it is fictional and won't hurt you, the less susceptible you will be to being jump scared. Eventually, after being scared enough times you will eventually get used to it.
  • Prepare yourself. When you know that something scary is going to come up, mute the sound, because the music always adds to the scare.

Mute the TV. Jump scares rely heavily on using the soundtrack to build tension, and the finally using a loud noise to startle the audience. Take away the sound and it doesn't work.
