I've found you can often mute those screens if you press one of the buttons beside the screen. Apparently it's different depending on the machine, so just mash them all I guess.

I've seen this too. I don't think you can find the option unless you keep swatting at the screen like a crazy person, so irritated at the ad that you're barely paying attention to the slightly dangerous act of fueling your vehicle. I think I've found it on every one I've used. I recall one having a mute that wasn't a proper mute, but instead would unmute itself after about 30 seconds, causing you to have to remute it. I think I screamed.
I avoid them too, and I’ve never found one where pressing any buttons mutes it.
Try pouring water into the speaker.
Ah yes. trying to create sparks near gasoline vapors. What could go wrong?
