    Hi
    i have a ad displaying on my site by adsense that plays sound when it loads?
    I thought that was not allowed
    the sound is not that bad but i worry of what displays when im not looking!
    the sound degrades my site!
    what can i do about this?

    You can block the ad, log into your adsense account.


    I've never seen anything like this before though! It plays sound even without pressing play??

    yep when the page loads
    i know its the ad because i refreshed the page many times
    and it only played when that ad loaded!
    the sound fit the ad but not my site!
    how do i block the ad i dont have the adsense tool?
    and its a flash image ad!
    i kinda would like to report it!
    its here V

    i though it wasn't allowed to have sound,but it's not in the Guidelines
    i would report it.
    you can filter it out,but you need the address.i don't know how you can view the source if it is flash.

    There's an option under My Account for 'AdType Preference' - if you change that to text ads only then you shouldn't get any of the animated ads. I've not seen the one you're refering to yet, thankfully, but I'd be very unhappy if my visitors were getting irritated by ads with sound!

    If I am on a site and I get an ad with sound I generally leave the site. In several cases I've emailed the webmaster to complain. If Google ever put them on my site I'd likely have a fit...

    well i found the site its
    clip al . com
    i will be adding it to the block list!ASAP tho im sure there will be more 2 come!

    the ad was on HipHopBayou.com witch already may have music playing!
    so i dont want any other music to play!
    tho i guess sounds in ads can generate more clicks but i dont want any other sounds especially the dance music that plays on a Hip Hop site!
    or any other sounds i dont have control of!
