Yes - that sort of thing is appalling.
To avoid it, I keep my computer's volume control muted all the time,
except for those rare occasions when I definitely want to listen to
something. I discovered the blessings of silence as a "side-effect" of
having it muted when I was working in libraries and archives; now I
don't even have to put up with those silly little dings and dongs when
my computer is collecting mail or closing down, or (most infuriating of
all!) thinks I've made a mistake.
I don't know how your screen is laid out, but mine has a little picture
of a loud-speaker among the icons in the lower left-hand corner. If I
double-click on that, then the noise options come up and I
select/deselect 'mute all': job done.

I went on Arachne webshots to look at the fans but I was deafened by the
horrible loud ad music attached which was very offputting, is this something
new? And can anybody tell me how to get rid of it I tried with no success
and had to give up looking at the new additions because it made me want to
SCREAM.
