I hear weird sounds sometimes...

[D' Artagnan]

sometimes, when I get into a forum I hear like a 'boom, boom, boom'
Do you have any explanations or should I consult a shrink

yes thats very odd, i havent heard it since i runned my last virus scan though.

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

I get it everyday.....

I figured it was a pop-up ad that was closed by the system, but not before it got some sounds out first.

It's from the "Whack the Rat" ad that may appear at the bottom of the page.

It gets very annoying when I am surfing CFC at work.

One reason why I keep my sound muted at work. It's best to be discrete about things.

Yep, same here....

 

[Yoda Power]

no offence, but i have heard about more and more people that spent their work time at cfc, what do you get paid for?

 

[Padma]

I wish I could get paid for surfing CFC!

I'm a computer programmer, and like Dilbert who checks his email "while my program is compiling", I surf CFC during similar breaks.

I was listening to some music the first time I heard it so I thought it was the recording until I scrolled down to the bottom of the page...

You may also want to consult a psychiatrist, or 'shrink,' especially if you feel the urge to talk to small crustaceans.

@Yoda: In a lab, there's a lot of downtime as you wait for incubations to complete.

Also theirs that annoying casino one too, ugh!

 

[hbdragon88]

Casino?

The only one I have heard is the debt free ads - in the thread "Talking Ads".

 

[kojimanard]

Thanks for starting thread, D' Artagnan. I heard it for the first time today. Its very disconserting. Knowing the reason will make it less so.

 

[Strider]

I've never had the sounds go off.... Don't know why.... Just must be my crappy computer(which is a good thing in this sitution).

 

[Jeratain]

Theses sounds are all figments of your imaginations.

Nah, I posted about this a few weeks back too - I was confused at first because I would never scroll to the very bottom of the page to view the ads. I thought it was someone's avatar.

The most annoying ad of all is the hick who likes to be debt free.

 

[Tacit_Exit]

I so glad I found this! Now I know I'M not losin it!
(yes happens to me too)

 

[CurtSibling]

Whack a rat!
I had a feeling it was from from an ad banner!
Damn Flash action script sounds!

It's very annoying - I didn't realise it was an add until I saw this thread.

 

[CurtSibling]

As an advert it has done it's job.

Getting people to discuss it!
I bet the marketing planners had this all sussed!

Yeah, sorry about that I edited my post
I should some rest before posting at CFC


I'm happy I'm not the only one who hears those annoying sounds. Hope this ad will be replaced by another one ASAP
Btw, I had never noticed the banner until Padma mentionned it in this thread
