interesting lead with Facebook, in general I play on iPad (without Facebook app) and it has never happened there, but when I was playing on iPhone (where I have Facebook app) it happened There are many variables that could be at play there, besides Facebook. Out of curiosity, I deleted Facebook from my iPhone, and the ads still made noise when the phone was supposed to be set to silent When I mentioned Facebook, I was referring to a Facebook ad not the app, although I do have the Facebook app installed but haven't used it in ages. For me the curiosity is how can it be correct that an app can somehow override a user setting, particularly one that is hardware based. It seems to me the ad(s) are exploiting something in iOS that very probably goes against Apple's policies.

Yes, it is mildly annoying, but for me the worse thing is principle.
