Have this ever happened to you?

About sometime very long ago I was scrolling through the internet as I always do, then suddenly I started hearing someone through my headsets like on a video chat if you know what I mean. I don't remember much but I think they just giggled and then I didn't hear them anymore. It was so weird though... I never had that happen to me before but that one time and I have so many questions like how did they even do that? :mellow:

Maybe it was an ad that queued to play automatically and you didn't see it. It happens to me all the time. I have some tabs open, and all the sudden I hear talking and I have to look around on the pages I'm looking at to find the source. So annoying when that happens, especially if I have some music playing, too. /:

For some ridiculous reason, I ALWAYS get ads that randomnly generate sound for a couple of seconds in Google Chrome. I usually use Safari and it never causes any trouble for me.

 

Also on an unrelated note, when I'm running my Habitarium in chrome (less lag than Safari for me), it'll occasionally load a full page advertisement at random, so when I go back to the tab that I had Habi in I'm just like... wut.

I had something like that happen to me on the phone, I was talking to a friend and we could hear someone else talking and they could hear us. We ended up having a 4 way conversation. (:

It was most likely an add like the others said. If you are using google chrome there's an extension called adblock that gets rid of all adds on the page. I have it and it's really nice.

I've had that happen with ads on certain sites. I'd guess that's what it is but it always really strange. The worst is when you have quite a few windows open and can't figure out which one the ad is coming from.

Not sure about other browsers, but Google Chrome has a little speaker icon for each tab where something is playing sound. It's not been a feature for long, but it's very helpful to figure out where the noises are coming from.
