Default Audio advertisement in OT thread

This thread in OT is causing an audio advertisement to play on my PC. The ad is about some sort of universal pipe wrench.

Once I open that thread, it only take 2-3 seconds for the ad to start. None of the posts in the thread have a link to anything at least nothing obvious like italicized text, and if I simply exit the thread (using back-arrow button) the ad immediately stops playing.

My browser is FF v43.0.2 running in Win7. Also tried a restart of my PC and the ad still comes back only when I open that thread.

It's not exactly an "ad" from CorvetteForum. It's because this post has an embedded video about a tool that the member was discussing in their post:
