For some reason I keep hearing random videos in the background when I open NS, anyone else having this? It's pretty obnoxious and I don't think its any other tabs.

I had it happen several places, I believe Gear Talk and Ski gabber right before I posted this thread. It hasn't happened since though, so I feel like it may have just been my browser as it just happened on another site too.

I also encountered this issue earlier this week when sitting on a forum page for longer than a few minutes as was shocked that no one else had mentioned it yet. The first time it happened, I checked all of my open tabs and searched for an ads that were on autoplay, but I could not for the life of me find the source(s).

In my cases it seemed to be multiple audio streams being played at the same time. It was so damn annoying that I had to turn on adblock, which killed the streams immediately.

If someone can isolate and find a link, that would be great. Is this happening on the forum listing, or inside a thread?
