Some ad is autoplaying the same few bars over and over again. I can't see what it is as it's happened now when I have active convos open so I can't even see the stupid ad, just hear the doom-laden music.

Sounds like a video game?

Make it stop!!

Hi Clymene, thanks for letting us know about this. Could you let us know which device and browser you're using please?

The app on my iPad. I've basically had to mute my volume

Thank you - we're sorry you've had to do that! We've flagged this to our ads team. In the meantime, if you do catch what ad is causing this, would you please let us know?

I can't figure it out. It's playing right now on this thread and there are no ads!

The only way I can get rid of it is to close the app and restart.

Hi Clymene that sounds super frustrating.

Is it across all threads or just this one or is it a bit random?

It's still with our ads team. While they look it might be worth reinstalling the app just in case that fixes things.

It seems to have stopped today so fingers crossed it's gone. Can't connect it to a particular thread or ad frustratingly

Thanks for letting us know Clymene and for bearing with as it sounds extremely annoying.

Let us know if it starts again.

I'm getting this too on my iPhone. I have to either turn sound off on my phone or leave the thread to stop the music. It's an add for a game I think.

Amortentia · 14/11/2021 18:35

Argh, just a second after posting to this thread and the music is back and I have to leave the app completely to make it stop.

CarolineMumsnet · 21/11/2021 14:01

Hello and sorry for the delay in getting back to a couple of you here.

For anyone still having this issue, it was also discussed here.

It looks like the music is coming from an ad choice advert served by Google. If you can see an ad, click on the blue arrow to the top right of the ad and select to not see that ad anymore.

Hopefully that resolves things for you. Let us know if not. Flowers
