Thank you for your suggestion! We try to make our ads as useful as possible to Wazers. An ad-free version is not planned for the near future.

I would give this idea negative votes if I could. The existing ads in Waze are bad enough; voice ads would make the situation a thousand times worse. Waze has made it very clear that they do not care about user experience in regards to ads, so there's no way they would allow users to opt out of voice ads -- they'd be forced on everyone. I've begrudgingly suffered through the popup ads and sponsored pins, but I would have to stop using Waze entirely if it started shouting ads through my speakers.
Despite thousands of users asking for years for the ability to PAY to get rid of ads, we're still stuck with them, and any time someone publishes a new way for users with rooted devices to get rid of ads, Waze pushes out an update that either evades the technique or, if that's not possible, makes the app kill itself rather than continue without ads. They're not just ignoring user feedback, they're actively devoting resources to make sure that ads are as intrusive as possible. They WILL screw things up if they ever implement audible ads.

I consider the ads a helpful feature: they tell me what businesses to avoid. Any business that advertises on a platform that disrespects users as much as Waze doesn't deserve my money. Most ads I see on Waze are for products I didn't want in the first place, but I have stopped eating at Wendy's because now the first thing I associate them with are misleading pins on my map that look like they're trying to alert me of something important. The takeover ads also look just like the popups that alert you of hazards ahead of you on your route, which means I've started ignoring those too, since I instantly dismiss any takeover out of habit. It would be really nice if there was a way to make ads get out of the way of useful features. If Waze would just accept my money, I could stop being so bitter about this. I use Waze a LOT, and it feels like cheap garbage with all the popups. Please, just name your price.
Until then, I hope some of your advertisers see this and know that they're losing business because Waze's hostile behavior is souring their name.

If you have no interest in ticking off people, you shouldn't be advertising on Waze. I actively avoid any business that I see an ad for on Waze, since the ads are incredibly distracting and there's no way to get rid of them, even by paying. It's mostly large chains that I see, and I know there's nothing I can do to change their behavior, but if I ever do see an ad for a local small business, I'll probably actually click on the thing, drive there, and tell the business owner why they should stop advertising via Waze and instead choose a platform that actually respects its users. I'll spend as long as I can delivering this explanation, then leave without buying anything. Maybe that will give them an idea of how I feel having my time wasted every day by Waze's incessant ads.
