Vod, I don't know the word for it.  But I do have a solution: set your browser not to autoplay videos.  I always put my plugins to "ask first"  or whatever the setting is called.  Smiley
Won't help anymore. HTML5 is here now and it is both awesome in it's possibilities and horrible how they are implemented.

Oooh, good point.  I wonder why I haven't had this problem yet (maybe because my sound is always down or something Smiley.

Just call it Spelunking. The english language is a smattering of words that are spelled or sound the same.

Spelunking

noun | spe·lunk·ing | \-kiŋ\

Code:
The art or practice of closing unwanted browser tabs.

Example: Danny was Spelunking through his web browser to find the mysterious noise.

Noscript will block almost all auto-playing videos/sounds on irrelevant pages. It's not ideal for casual browsing though, Tor uses it in an attempt to prevent javascript footprint reading.

I never open more tabs than I'm reading right now or listening and close those I don't need anymore. It usually maxes out at approx 5 tabs. Much easier to find offending tab. But with Adblock these delayed videos are rare.

Yeah!  There should totally be a word for this.  My mind is blank, but I am sure I will think of something witty ten months from now when it no longer matters.

Shuffling through all your open browser tabs to find out which one is playing the video/music.

Is there a word for this?  Should we make one up?

So fricking annoying when videos start automatically, and even worse when they delay for a few seconds/mins after you open the page!

Yes.
The word = "ctrl-1, ctrl-2, ctrl-3, ctrl-4, ctrl-5, ctrl-6, ctrl-7Tongue

I have a question for you. Why dont you take part in signature campaigns , while you can earn alot from them ?

So when I make the odd insubstantial post like this one, I don't get banned.

So it does!  Thank you so much!!!

Also, I feel earning from the forum gives me a conflict of interest.  That's why I don't escrow for people I may need to leave negative feedback on.
