One could use the sounds of screams, someone shouting "Fire, Fire", various types of police Sirens - I like the continental "He-Haw" - or even bombs going off, to see what worked the best. I'm not sure about the iPhone sound as I see most of the younger generation walking about with wires coming out of their ears and their lips moving. They might not be listening for a phone to ring :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

A really nasty one is an IBM Watson ad that has caused me to abandon Youtube at times. I have developed a habit of doing some other chore while watching out of the corner of an eye, then turning to the screen when the fluff is over. Often I miss it and then just "spool back" to the beginning. I never really see the ads consciously so I couldn't even tell you what any one of them is about or what they wanted to sell. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

The problem with Youtube is that it is a movie and can be made to prove just about anything that the maker wants to prove. -- Cheers, John B. |
