  The idea is great but playing loud and annoying sounds on the frontpage of Google - Not so good.
  
  I opened a new tab and had to check all of them only to find out that it was Google that thought that is was a good idea to play load sounds without interaction. What next? Pop ups?
  
  BTW, my post about this (the annoying sound) was nuked but I didn't get a message about it. Have the mods started making stealth nukes on double post? (my was about a minute after this)
