You all know what I’m talking about. I was just watching a video on another post, and literally the first ten seconds of audio were covered up by BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. I know it’s everywhere, but already I stop watching YouTube channels that use it, and I don’t watch TV very much because of it.

I’m not sure if other people feel this way, and it sounds kinda whiney when I type it out like this, but the pitch hurts my ears and disrupts my concentration on the video in a way that irritates me way more than it should.

    I’m no programmer (not a good one, anyway) but it seems to me that the beeps are all in the same tone, or very similar. I wonder if one could write a program that listens for that tone and simply mutes it. Could be setup as a Firefox extension or something.
