Adverts autoplaying music on thread opening

I've been on two threads this morning (at nap time no less) and they've automatically started playing music on opening.

Could you take a look please @MNHQ

Hi tnetenba FreezerBird and SkepticalCat,

Thanks for letting us know - the fact the audio doesn't match the ads make us suspect this a a rogue ad rather than anything we'd authorise.

We're happy to look into this for you - anyone remember any other details aside from the reduce plastics stuff?

Same/similar here.

Audio adverts just randomly playing. I wasn't sure if it was my phone (Samsung/Android) doing it or a specific website.

It just happened whilst browsing Mumsnet and none of the visual adverts matched the audio (this time it was something to do with cutting down on plastics?)

If it is Mumsnet causing it, it's very irritating!

Same here! The music seems completely random as well, something about a dog, and scrolling through the thread I can't see any advert which would have any connection with this. It's impossible to tell which ad is making the noise!
