Not in the US, but I'd go even further and ban any ad mimicking an "alerting" kind of sound, especially starting with it.

Alarms, ringtones, even loud door knocking. Even worse, traffic sounds with car horns (rare, but some still do this shit somehow). I can't believe some of the ads I get are still legal, deliberately stressing you to get your attention shouldn't be.

    I worked on a crew that took lots of long interstate drives when "We Like to Party" by the Vengaboys was a big radio hit. Every time that goddamned horn blasted in that song when we were on the road, we all frantically looked around to see the big truck that was about to kill us only to realize it was just the stupid Vengabus.
