Annoying Flash Adverts.

There seems to be an increasing amount of intrusive flash adverts appearing on our screens and unfortunately in our ears as well. I have noticed an increasing number of adverts are using attention grabbing tactics with annoying repetive sounds.

I would prefer that the sound would not occur without my permission or that I should have the option to mute it at least, but on right mouse clicking into the options there does not seem to be much user choice.

Is there a way to stop these adverts yelling out or buzzing in the middle of my songs when listening to a webcast while browsing the web without disabling flash from my browsing experience completely?

I have attempted repeatedly to contact adobe over this to find that I must sign up only to be greeted by non responsive submission pages. A nice way to avoid email complaints I think.

Thanks.
