NFT: New, annoying technique for commercials

Bill in UT : 3/25/2020 8:53 pm
The ad agencies must have done some polling. Have you noticed how many commercials now start with repeating the opening few words? I guess they found that it gets people's attention better, but I can't stand it.
I haven’t noticed that....

I haven’t noticed that but now I will be listening for it
phone ring tones

the beep of a micro wave, car chirp or doorbell. Any sound found commonly in the modern environment that strikes a pavlovian response in the listener based on familiarity and possible personal relevance.

These sounds are designed to get your attention before you realize you are listening to a commercial.

Yep. The iPhones many chirps and rings are in commercials now. My dogs even react to them because they wig out when my phone rings normally so the commercials do it too now.

All along I thought that my dog was the only one afraid of iphone sounds. He's cool with the samsung, not the iphone.
