splat The most annoying advert ever ...

I've been meaning to sort this out before, a lot of sites have little advert banners, which I don't mind at all however, this one has the most annoying buzzing sound. Even having music on is drained out by this. I am using Firefox, is there a way to disable the sound or block the advert?

Got a link to the site? Should be able to block the ad with Firefox.

It was on a torrent site - so I doubt I can link to it. However it's on many sites, how would I go about blocking it?

Get the properties of the image, that will show you what site it's coming from, then block ads from that site.

What options do you get when you right click? If you hover the mouse, do you get a balloon?
