Sudden voices on my IPad

Do you have other tabs open NanKate? If so it could be a video that is just activated when you open the page something like Facebook or utube.. even though you aren't actually aware there is a video on the page.

Christmas elves for sure.

You're not the only one NanKate, it happens to me too (and I don't use Facebook or YouTube)
It drives me potty and I've tried downloading AdBlocker but my iPad min won't take it for some flipping reason ?
Are there any techy GNs out there who can help?

This happens me also, I think it's the videos on the advertising that pops up.

Tetchy GN ers, not possible

loopy try looking for Adblock for iPad mini specifically, and it will tell you if there is something available for your device.

I've tried Lona, they're all 'incompatible with your device ' apparently ???

I always keep the sound muted on my laptop and just turn on when I need to listen to something? Can you do that on an iPad? Don't have one so can't check n

Oops. Sorry NanKate. Didn't read your post properly. You obviously can!

I think some advertising videos start up as you scroll down even if you don't touch the actual advert. I find the audio stops once they disappear at the top. The local newspaper sites seem to be the worst for this, which is why I avoid them.

Thanks for all your suggestions. Relieved it isn't only me.

I do use Youtube and Facebook most days, so it could as you say come from there. I will take of the sound off until I want it for music.

I would ask you all round for a coffee and warm mince pie, perhaps I will suggest a virtual Xmas party.
