On an Irish TV car advertisement you can hear CW or kind of code but not morse code. Some report it is code as it existed just before morse code was created.

It is a weak tone in the background just listen carefully what i can copy is CQ CQ CQ D only the letter D don't know what this D mean? The rest is gribbish code.

Put your tone setting to eliminate bass and set the high to max and your volume up to the point the background tones start to distort. Some cheap PC speakers are unable to reproduce the tones.
