Is this happening to anyone else? Extremely aggravating to play music at a good volume and have a sound clip advertising something cut in on every new page.

It's ads not being blocked by your add blocker. It's blocking the video, but not the sound.
I still don't understand the mentality of making ads with sound. It's like you're intentionally reminding people why they use ad block in the first place.
it happened once today, i updated all the filters on ublock origin, not happened again
but, it will be a never ending cycle of advertisers outsmarting filters and blockers coming up with new filters until ads are safely policed and non-annoying to be able to stop using ad blockers
They did something on this page in the last week or 2. ABP stopped working for the banner adds all the time and then with the TCF audio only adds. Its ONLY on this site, for me at least.
READ and be less Ignorant.
I switched from adblock plus to uBlock Origin for this exact reason. Origin let's the sound play, while adblock only blocks half the adds it used to. Can't win lol. I would white list mmo-champ and wowhead...if they didn't load 35-75 different adds with every page you visit. Never ending circle I guess. More ads, more ad blocker people, then even more ads, etc...
Tumblr was doing the same thing for a while, and I traced it down to an HTML5 thing. If you can get an HTML5 auto-play blocker, it'll likely solve your problem.
The annoyance that comes with it though, is that things like YouTube and Netflix won't automatically play when you open them. That may be a good thing depending on your needs, but if you're used to things starting on their own it'll be a little disorienting at first.
