Annoying Sounder on WTKK

Aside from some of the hosts, is anyone else annoyed by the sounder used during traffic reports? It sounds like someone quickly strumming on one string of a base or someone hitting on a base drum over and over for the complete report. I find it distracting and it adds nothing to the report.

I know sounders can add to reports. When WEEI was all news, we had a copter sound during traffic reports and a ticker sounder during news and business reports. They were there to make the reports seem more real and immediate. One can argue that they added little or nothing, but they didn't distract from the content like the boom boom sounder does.

Nobody asked. Just my opinion.
 
OOPSS. I meant bass not base in graph one. Sorry for the typo.
 
It's annoying as hell. It seems that they run it under 80% of their spots as well as station promos,weather, traffic etc. My opinion is that it's an element thats not needed and very distracting. On the other hand they probably don't have to worry about a noise floor in their production.
 
Are we at least in agreement that it makes Michele McPhee sound a little more intelligent?
 
If you think anything can affect her intelligence you didn't see what she was wearing this morning on WFXT.

She was wearing this candy apple red low cut thing. She looked like a whale inside of a beach ball. Clearly, she needs to accellerate her voice, diction and grammar lessons and stay out of Santarpio's. Those steak bombs and roni pizzas are not helping the look.
