Let me start this by saying yes, I'm fully aware there are ways of avoiding annoying TV commercials, including not having a TV, having one but not turning it on, using a Tivo, etc. I'm not seeking recommendations of how to avoid commercials, merely ranting. I realize that some who respond will ignore this qualifier and offer the alternatives mentioned above plus others, but it makes me feel good to point this out to those of you who actually pay attention.
To those of you who don't have a clue about anything, please be sure to suggest I get a Tivo....

I've noticed an annoying audio track running in the background on some TV commercials. One example is an AARP ad for Hartford Insurance aired on CNN. A periodic electronic "beep" plays throughout the commercial, the sound of a timer or electronic alarm going off. It is at low volume, but loud enough to make you take notice and ask yourself "what's that noise?" and listen to see if it is coming from the TV or somewhere else.
Very sleazy...
