Those advertisements with the sounds should be illegal. What an invasion of my personal space. I can see how a silent add can be tolerated, even enjoyed, but when they start saying things like, "HELLLLOOOOOO!" or, "WHAAAT!?" overtop of the music I am listening to it is extremely annoying.

My idea?

Have a mute function for ads... or get rid of the sound all together.

Maybe someone knows of a way I can do it through my browser?

As Orangutan states these ads are a non-sub problem which is solved by subscribing. No adverts for subscribers.

They're probably against the TOS of every other site with ads, too.
