Error sound continuously lauching when site is loaded

Mex17 · 04-07-2008, 11:43 AM

For the past few weeks, on at least three seperate PC's. The <Windows XP Error.wav> file is launching over and over again when I visit the website.

It's one of the ad banners. In fact there's a 2nd one that makes noise as well.

Yeah, it's really annoying. I keep muting my computer.

It's relentless. It is the banner ad in the rotation the most - more than the rest of the ads combined. It's a real nuisance. I can't believe the ad company is willing to choose the business of 1 advertiser with an annoying ad over the potential loss of many people who run their ads. This is just recreational BB, but I'm sure there are people running these banner ads on websites with customers who won't tolerate that kind of noise. The advertiser has made excessive use of noise. I can't believe the ad agency doesn't think subjecting people to it might cost them more business than make them.
