    Just randomly sat surfing the net – keep getting a fake whoooshing sound through the speakers – no idea what it is!

    Only got Chrome and iTunes open – any help appreciated!

    Thanks

    Probably an advert hidden in a popup or in a sidebar. Look for an add with a speaker symbol to shut it up!

    Funnily enough I had this last week, I turned my speakers off. If you find out what it is let me know. Is it a swoosh then a kind of vibration sound?

    i had the same thing while i was on bikemagic the other day, took me ages to realise it was the ad for the royal marines making the noise!

    presumably that means i don’t have “what it takes” 😕

    I think your computer’s trying to tell you something ….

    It might possibly that marine ad on bikemagic!

    f&s – no chance its wotsits – hate them, much more of a Hula Hoop kind of guy!

    Having just turned my speakers back on I can confirm that it is that stupid royal marines ad. How irritating is that.

    What you want is the-firefox-extension-of-which-we-do-not-speak which allows you to block ads.

    But don’t use it here obviously.

    Gary if you had an e-mail address in your profile someone could reveal the secret in a PM. With no risk of a banning.
