For the last week or so, I will hear the sound of what sounds like a video of some kind starting ... the sound only lasts for about a second and then stops.
Now happens everytime I get on the Corvette Forum. Don't happen on other sites.
Strange ...

So I'm not crazy. 
Hasn't happened at CF, but has other websites, first few seconds of an ad for a dealer local to me whose site I'd recently visited.
Buggy Google marketing bot run amok.
So yea, 'they' probably are watching.
If 'they' are a message: get-a-life.

Well, I figured it out.
I just heard the first 3 seconds of a Culver's Hamburger Resturant commercial before the sound stopped.
Then I quickly scrolled down to the bottom of this Corvette Forum web page, and there is was ... A Culver's commercial video (without the sound).
So, it's pretty obvious that the Corvette Forum is now loading advertising videos. Just so happens that the sound only lasts for a second or two.
BTW ... I am using a Dell desktop computer with Windows 7 and Google Chrome as my browser.
This even happens after cleaning my 'history' and 'cache' using CC Cleaner.

BTW ... This is a snapshot of the Culvers commercial (after the sound stopped) ... The video commercial was still running. I photo was the very end of the commercial.
And here is the video at the bottom of the screen (after the sound stopped)

I see you also finally found the audio thread in the HELP forum too.
As posted in other threads posted about this, MOST of us don't get that audio.

I can understand them having all these ads placed on this forum (they are making money) ... but including video ads with sound is bull **** ... even if the sound cuts out after starting.

Got to be some reason why most of us are not getting it.
Are you logged in when you get it?
What type of input device and browser are you using?
Change something, see if you still get it.

Sure I am logged in ... If I was not logged in, I could not post here.
BTW ... I view the Corvette Forum on a Dell desk top computer using Windows 7 and Google Chrome internet browser.
Maybe it's folks viewing this site on a smart phone that don't have this problem.

I'm also using a DELL desktop computer with Windows 7 Professional, but I use Firefox for a browser with no help from Google.
I just tried it with Google Chrome and I don't hear anything.

That pic I posted above is from a mac desk top. The smart phone version has new problems as well. When I click on a thread that I previously viewed it no longer goes to the latest post in the thread. It goes to post #1.
