Sound on by default in forum ads - WTF?

I don't like it - I want... 21 100.00%
 
It's okay as it is 0 0%
 
Too little sound. Play so... 0 0%
 
I don't care 0 0%

did not look it up, sorry if a thread on this already exists.

I just want to know if I'm the only person here who is annoyed by the sound being on by default in the ads in here. I seriously don't want to open a thread and then turn the sound off in every single little ad on the page, especially when I'm browsing the forum at work. My one-page default is 100 posts so there is a lot of these ads on a page sometimes. And some of them don't even have the option to disable sound.

It would also be interesting to get an opinion from one of the administrators - is this unintended and going to be amended or is the only solution to stop using this site?

And I'm listening to music on my computers so please don't tell me that I can turn the sound off completely.

Ads with sound is the reason I use certain addons I'm not supposed to mention.

right... I usually have no problem with ads, they support the site and all, and I'm too lazy to install blockers, but this is going to make me do it
