Why are there sound effects in these two threads?

[Avery]

Every time I open these threads, I hear (electronic) drumming! Where is it coming from? They were started by different people, too.

[gravitas]

unexpected sounds from websites (esp shitty midi music) is one of my bigger pet peeves.....even going to an SP's site hearing something that would have been more fitting on a late 70's video game doesn't motivate me to see you

Once again, I will have to agree with you on this one.

what can I say.....I'm a trend setter

That's ringing, not drumming.

its fucking annoying

No kidding! That's why I started this thread.

Not only that, if you click on her name, you can't even get rid of the sound by hitting the "Back" button. You have to log out of PERB!! Sometimes, I even have to close my browser altogether!

Yeah it is annoying

If you put Amie on your ignore list it solves the problem. It was the only way I could figure to turn it off.

Can't you just turn the volume knob down?

Couldn't you just press the pause button on her vid to stop the sound?
It wasn't anything more than this:

<object width="170" height="140"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/C81riIa5T04"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/C81riIa5T04" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="170" height="140"></embed></object>

Yes, but it was catching everyone by surprise. It came on in every thread where she had posted, whether or nor she started the thread, so it was unpredictable. Once it started playing, you couldn't stop it, even by going to another web page. Why should we have to turn the sound down until we log off because of that?

Anyway, Moderator killed her signature, so the problem's solved.

Then you also eliminate the sounds you want to hear as well. I browse PERB when I'm running other programs, I don't want to eliminate the sounds from other programs just so I don't have to listen to nuisence noise.
