'Whispering' on ads on TV and Radio drives me utterly bonkers.

I've no idea why it annoys me so much....but I have to change over to another channel or turn the radio or tv off!

YABU....nope.....the Whispering doesn't bother me at all

YANBU.... yes.....I loathe the whispering too....it is extremely annoying

I hate ads in general so no YANBU

Or when they do silent ads pretending to support the deaf but really they're to make you look up from your phone as you think the tv has gone off

Yanbu

You are being unreasonable.

I have Misophonia and this distresses me so much. Whispering is happening more and more on TV shows too, not just adverts. I had to stop watching so many things because of whispering into microphones.

Secret escapes!

I hate it too! Just fucking talk.

Yes, it's the whole ASMR thing I find it disgusting

Whispering makes me have an irrational rage, it’s a visceral reaction and I can’t help it.

There was a woman who used to come into our open plan office and whisper to her friend. Just fucking email if you want to keep it private.

Oh Wow I am getting the rage just typing this.

Agreed.

My bugbear is adult women taking in baby voices as if they are about 6.

There might be slightly less of it these days - but actually that just might be because i go out of my way to watch bbc iplayer or netflix where there are no ads.

I thought I was the only one that hated this! The secret escapes advert makes me want to scream.
