Default Strange AGF "music" noise!!

Hi folks:
Wrote to JR last night, but thought I'd also post this a.m. to ask about this. For a few weeks now, I've been getting a very strange, annoying element while on AGF. Suddenly and without warning a weird 15 second intrusion of what seems to be computer generated music/sound bursts into my headphones. Always the same, always the same length before it cuts out. Could come back right away or stay silent for a time....then starts again. Driving me a little nuts!!
It's definitely AGF......appears nowhere else and stops instantly when I click out of AGF.
I did a recording of this on my phone. If any are curious I can forward to your email for further review. Not sure if I'm alone, but thought I'd check here on the forum.
Regards,
Fred

It's a subliminal message: "you need a new guitar, you need a new guitar, you need a new guitar..."

Interesting! It sounds like a popup, but I've never had that at AGF. Would be interesting to see if anyone else has experienced this.

Does it sound like Barry Manilow?
That happened to me once. I quit eating Kosher dill pickles and it went away.

I'm confused.
For me AGF is text that I read on a screen.

Do you "listen" to AGF?
Is there some kind of technology/app that converts text to voice that you can listen to?

Serious question.

Thanks for your interest. Yes, there can be a lot to listen to via Soundcloud/Utube here. But, the noise I'm getting cuts in even when I"m reading stuff here and not on any of these other platforms. Very random and very annoying.
The mods are aware.........an administrator is due to contact with an email address so I can send through what I've recorded for follow up.
Thanks

Could it have something to do with your headphones? Have you checked using external speakers?

Yes.
Serious question ... but I've already stated that.

I just read AGF with my eyeballs.
Sorry.

I've never clicked on a soundcloud link.
I frankly don't even know what that is.
I click through to go to Youtube itself instead of watching those videos on AGF.

Dinosaur here.
I go almost nowhere on the Internet that wants me to register, no facebook, instagram, snapchat, etc.
I don't even have a smartphone data plan.
