Unsolicited play store ad after swiping to unlock the screen

[AC Question]

Keep getting unsolicited screen ad from play store (google) after swiping to unlock the screen, or in the middle reading or listening. Worse, the unsolicited ad comes with loud sound when the phone is not in use, just to wake me up.
