This is why I keep my speakers OFF when browsing WP or any forum that has ads. Speakers off = you hear nothing of the ads. Most speakers have an off switch, unless they're cheap or you have a laptop, and if your speakers are built into your laptop there should be a way to turn them off on a control panel. Honestly, I only turn my speakers on when there's a video I want to watch. I HATE sound you can't turn off, unless it's to turn off your speakers.
