I suspect its a feature <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .. .I think you'll find its supposed to be a fire/flame sound and it probably corresponds to a thread getting more than x replies and getting that little flame symbol. . .. .Only guessing mind.

Long Final. .Got me going as well, thought I'd picked up some awful virus that would lead to the end of my computer as I know it. Well, glad it's something apparently so innocuous! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

I get the sound as well, and it might force me to stop reading these forums in the office.. .. .Bit counter productive on the Ads front. Any chance of them being gently persuaded to leave the sounds out?. .. .PS

Complaints comming in thick and fast from some of my colleages this morning.. .. .IE under Multimedia, unchecking Play Sounds does not stop them either.. .. .Only option is to Mute the speaker.. .. .Please please can we ban sounds in banner ads.. .. .PS

I thought it was a herd of hooves of one sort or another. Very disconcerting. I thought my sound system was cracking up. . .. .Errrrr! I won't mind a bit if I never hear it again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

I heard a cuckoo in the office the other day. Scared the life out of me. (see <a href="http://www.phenology.org.uk" target="_blank">www.phenology.org.uk</a>). . . . <small>[ 13 March 2002, 18:32: Message edited by: small em ]</small>

Are you sure it's not the sound of PPRuNe Admin clearing off to the pub again and leaving us PPRuNe-less until they return suitably refreshed? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

I just about fell off my seat when I heard it- sounded like an explosion- I thought that my computer/ speakers were about to blow up! (I was looking at the upper part of the scroll, and didn't see the ad until later.). .. .OK for light relief, but tedious after the third repeat.

It did me a favour as well. I don't have speakers on my office PC, but have got hi-fi ones on my home PC.. .When the thunder of hooves happened - my ginger cat did a vertical take-off from where he was lying, on the keyboard, & has not pussy footed over it since! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

I have a simple response to annoying ads. Particularly those that force me to listen to their annoying noise. . .. .I make absolutely sure that I never, ever make use of that company or their products again. I refuse to visit their websites & place them in my restricted sites folder.. .. .To reinforce the point I often email them & advise them that their annoying ads have served to drive me away from using their services or product.
