It's the add at the top with the turkey and jungle noises.

It's the damn ads...

They're becoming increasingly intrusive. There's already been a thread on this and the admin seem to not mind. Just mute your comp to get around it.

ya, srry i should've known there would be a thread already...just making sure i wasn't going crazy...

My Ads thread is about this very ad. SEE IM NOT CRAZY!

Never encountered it myself, but if there's an Ad making sounds, I'm all for getting rid of it.

Adds usually are region dependant. Most decent add services will not display to a UK browser a US only advert. Instead it is a lot more worth while for them to route a UK only advert to a UK viewer.

Thus it is very possible that not everyone will receive this add.

Frankly, since the damn "HELLO!!!!!111" yelling smily add, I mute my computer every time I visit this site now (sigh).

Hiveworkshop is being haunted by the ghosts of forgotten veterans from wc3sear.ch

Thank god I have my ghost repellent.

Fortunately, can I not hear anything when I'm visiting Hive.

I must be a totempole or something that can repel these spirits by my self.

There is only one cure. Its name is the almighty AdBlock+. It shall repel the ghosts of the past.

Although I haven't encountered any ads with sound here on Hive, I'm all for blocking ads that includes noise in them. On other sites I've encountered an airplane ad ('brrrrrrrrr' turbine sound), and a handphones ad (loud 'riiiiing riiiiing'), just to mention two. To me this constitutes noise pollution.

I know that having ads keeps Hive alive, but I won't feel the least guilty when adblocking ads with sound in them.

I had an ad which turned on when you moused over it but other than that I haven't had any ads with sound, luckily.

Although yes, they shouldn't ever exist.
