Has anyone notice a weird sound when you are on ATS? I'm on ATS like almost every single day and since yesterday I encounter this really odd sound
while surfing the site.

I heard beeps on one page that sounded almost cricket like. It synched up with a Pam Anderson ad so I just assumed it was another annoying ad with
sound trying to catch our attentions.

Like a sonar ping?!!! I was just about to ask the same question!!!
It happened to me about ten mins ago. It has happened in the past from time to time. I thought it was someone tracking me somehow, or something a
hacker was using.
Makes me paranoid.

The sound clip you referred us to is indeed a cell-phone signal. That is not what I heard today, or what I was referring to. Can't speak for the OP
though.

I'm sorry, I wont know what a sonor ping sounds like.
It was more like a humming machine sound on loop. Something you would regonize as the intro on a new Fear Factory song..

I think its coming from the ad banner above, ( The Killing Has Begun. www.bloodseason.com ) because once I put my cursor over that banner it started
getting crazy and then.... the sound stopped.
Can any Mod confirm that?

It seems to be an ad banner, though I haven't bothered with tracing it down. I just term my sound off and go on till I need the sound for something
later.
See, I know that all you paranoid genusis will go nuts finding it for me, and raising sand till SO gets rid of it.
I'm not lazy, just know how to harness the power of the brains around me.

Thanks for confirming that NGC2736. I did not want my paranoia to get the best of me, but having virus attacking both my desktop and my laptop in the
same week. Hey, I gotta ask right?... Once again. Thanks.

I hear that cell phone sound sometimes on my truck speakers even when my radio isn't on! At first I thought it was really odd. But I noticed that
when I was at work when someone else would get a cell phone call, sometimes my speakers at work would do the same thing. it sounds like a series of
beeping and popping with no specific pattern. It seems to always be different. I get it every once in a while here at home too on my baby moniter
and on my speakers. It gets especially loud sometimes when someone is nearby on a cell-phone. Usually you don't hear it though...

I used to get this crazy laughing sound from my speakers when on ats. I had an open window to ats once when I was viewing another page and that crazy
laughter came on. I went what the shot. Thought I had a hacker in the circuits.
Than one day I noticed it was from an ats flash add with emoticons on it with big smiles and such. Solved....................

My computer started chirping earlier. It was an ad banner. I often times listen to music while I'm on the internet, this was obnoxious. I hope ATS
will not allow advertisers to ruin an otherwise great site with obnoxious banner ads with obnoxious sounds.

Most of you probably know about this already.. But for more information on these annoying banner ads see skeptic overlord's thread..
Worst Ads Ever! (SkepticOverlord's Ad Hitlist)
But, as I said before, the chirping/beeping sound being referred to by the OP is related to cell phones nearby. But trust me I know how annoying
these banner ads can be  .
