For those who might not know, one of the (unlabeled) buttons next to the screen will mute the audio at least. Just push them one by one until it mutes.

Usually second from the bottom on the right :)

Sometimes, not always.

Ripping the thing off the pump (with a crowbar if needed) and chucking it int he trash can also works.

Just saying.

Is this feature present only in th US, or are there any other countries that play ads on the pumps?

trust me, you'll tune them out after a couple of visits. The human psyche is amazing and a wonderful mystery.

Been to quite a few gas stations in eastern Oregon that have these advertisement screens. I reckon it’s only a matter of time.

And political stickers being put onto the pumps.

A little while back I came across one of those Biden "I did that" gas stickers on an Electric charging station. It was amusing to see a sticker that was intended to be a dig on a politician to be repurposed into praise.
