I noticed this too, it was very frustrating when I was pulling an all-nighter to finish the game!
I'm sure there are more detailed options on the PC, but on the Xbox 360 version if you go to audio settings and turn off "high dynamic range" (or something similar)
these scenes become much quieter.
I think this option is on by default.
It's geared towards high-end audio systems
but it's not much use on tinny built-in monitor speakers like mine.
Hope this helps!

Unfortunately you cant, Mass effect uses that time to load the next set of graphics.
I have mine on an ssd drive which should load that in next to no time, but because its been ported from console they haven't bothered to allow that cut scene to be skipped i guess.

You can remove any video file from ME3 but after doing any changes to the game data you need to run the "Auto TOC Generator", which is included in "ME3 Explorer by Warranty Voider".
I removed the following from "Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\Movies" GLO_01_Relay.bik Cithub_Load01.bik ... Cithub_Load08.bik
The reason simply removing the file does not work is that the game has an index file, that has to be updated after any changes to files are made.
PS.
Heh, talk about necromancy...

It's possible, provided you are happy with skipping all of them.
Simply go to your game folder + BIOGame/Movies and then rename or delete GLO_01_Relay.bik to something else.
That will mean none of the mass effect relay movies will play at all.

Sorry you can't skip the Mass Relay cutscenes
and i know that
because i have tried
and i agree the sound is much lounder than in Mass Effect 1 and 2.

These cutscenes are significantly louder than the rest of the game, so I have to turn down my speakers every time I go through a mass relay.  Is there any way to skip these scenes?  According to  this link  it was possible in Mass Effect 1 by editing a configuration file.  However, that file doesn't seem to exist for Mass Effect 3.

You can't skip the Mass Relay cuttscenes. Try going to audio settings and turning off high dynamic range. While the cutscene in question is tied to how Mass Effect hides the loading action between scenes, it seems that there are some workarounds to minimise the trouble.
A user is suggesting to change an option in order to minimise the problem. People are pretty sure that it is not possible to skip the cutscene. On the other hand, there is a suggestion to delete a file that is tied to that cutscene.
