Clawing skin off..... sounds of sizzling flesh...

I HATE MUSIC or sounds on a website.... with two exceptions (stuff I 
click to produce music...wav links for example, and Flash enabled sites 
that have sound)... I don't expect a static page to be musical... and I 
hate when I'm loading a page in the middle of the night and the 
girlfriend is asleep... and all of a sudden the page is like 95% loaded 
and some loud annoying midi starts blasting through the room....
