Ads with SOUND??? MN are you having a flipping laugh???!!!!

Aha! Sorry for confusion @LizzieMumsnet but I've just realised the ads are autoplaying as videos at the bottom of the page. I have only heard them as soon as I open up a page and don't even get as far as scrolling down to the bottom.

Have screenshotted this properly I think now.

Happened again yesterday morning (8.15am) when I opened a thread - took a screenshot. Sound was an ad for Ford Ecosport once again - it starts with the guitar riff from Elvis Costello 'Pump it up'

As I said before, obviously this isn't the ad displayed on the page. It only happens on mumsnet website so not due to another tab etc.

The Ford Echo Sport audio ad played just now for me as I clicked on this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3148609-time-keeping-at-work-is-making-me-anxious

Thank you all so much for your feedback

We have identified the advert that was playing with sound on and it has been turned off.

We don't take advertising with Auto-play, however sometimes they can get through, so if you do see one, just let us know the brand and page (screen-shot if possible) and we get it fixed.

Come on hq, this is really intrusive and annoying.

@AngieMumsnet Still going, at random times, on the mobile website on Firefox on Android. Had several instances the last day or so where clicking on a thread or even my 'threads I'm watching' page starts up sound for "Try the new Ford Echo Sport" with music. The actual ads on the page don't bear any resemblance to this.

still got noisy ads yelling at me

is this a permanent plan MNHQ? I might have to install ad blocker.

Just had some really loud jingle bell ad on here. Closed the tab immediately to shut it up, so no idea what the ad was for. I'd been Facetiming my DP earlier at a sensible volume. Ad volume was startling again.

I'm not going to pretend I will stop using MN if these noisy ads continue, but it does make me leave immediately and go onto Facebook for a while, so not really the intended purpose for either the advertiser or for MN.

These ads aren't just plonking themselves there are they, somebody much know why they're popping up.

I've had ads play sounds on the Android app for days. Tried to find threads about a medical condition in the middle of the night and wrote dh up :(

I have just had a video ad for Renault (I think) playing noisily. I clicked the x and got the message Google had closed the ad, but the sound was still playing.

My data for this month has been wiped out by video ads - and now I have woken the sleeping child with this one.

It's a good thing when an ad you don't like targets you, then you don't have to be swayed by it

Also, I hate Star Trek Wars, so why is it targeting me?

I see people have screenshots of it. Please make it stop.

It's happened again. I can't do a screenshot because I'm on my tablet and wearing the wrong specs, but this is what it was advertising www.ebay.co.uk/rpp/star-wars

It's still there! The volume relative to anything else is crazy - same volume setting but twice as loud - OUCH

Yep I had it again yesterday. It’s making me feel stabby towards EBay and Star Wars, so not really fulfilling its purpose!

We've found the bugger, anyhow - the ads team are working on it.

Are they still working on it, because I've just had my ears blasted out by Star Wars again.

I had the opposite - it suddenly started playing without headphones and was really frikking loud and I nearly woke everyone else! I didn't think I had any sound ads enabled.

I was only thinking this morning how nice it is that those massive banner ads have gone and I can actually read a thread properly.

Just had the absolute shit scared out of me by a video ad though! Happily browsing some threads and suddenly there's an ad blaring sound at me - couldn't figure out whether it was the banner ad at the top of the page or further down. Desperately scrolling to work out which was making the noise - really loud action soundtrack type music which I eventually realised was an eBay ad with Star Wars stuff in it.

Now actually shaking from the shock of it. Cut it out MN!

I'm on my laptop on Google Chrome.

Lol at screenshots of sound!

They real do listen don't they?
