Just cleared browser/cookies and will report back in the next day or so if that helped (I can tell you that immediately after doing that I'm still getting the brief audio blips).
This is all on a Win10 laptop using whatever the current version of Chrome is. New desktop skin.

Interestingly, the difference now is that the page will usually load fine, and then slow down and eventually crash if I begin scrolling.
I didn't fully capture all the activity being indicated, but these are a few of the servers that seem to pop up over and over in the bottom left of my Chrome window:
axnxs
bluekai
doubleclick
sonoby
vidible.tv

A major issue is, this is only happening to a handful of people. We are getting no other reports outside of this thread, and you can see how few there are. This indicates that it is either a very small edge case with FT, or it's your browser.
If you have not already, clear your cache and FT cookies. Try a different browser and see if this persists. This is not at all a widespread issue, and even if it is on our end, therefore it will be difficult to resolve.

I think I may have caught one of the audio ads. This "Don't Miss" thing seems to be appearing when the audio happens - today I heard two overlapping audio bursts and noticed the page I was on had two of the "Don't Miss" video ads.
These were also the only two ads on that page that did not have the blue AdChoices triangle that allows you to report the ad back to google...so I"m not sure where they're coming from.

Still having problems, not too sure why Tech people just disable the script that downloads these video and then fix it. Why do we have to continue to have t his problem?

We are working on this. It did in fact stop, due to our actions, for at least several weeks.
I know it's frustrating, but this is not a FT problem -- it's an industry-wide issue. Thanks for hanging in there while we all try to figure out what to do. [MENTION=790438]IBJoel[/MENTION] please report the new instances with screen shots to the appropriate stakeholders.
