While I dislike websites playing sudden sounds as much as the next guy, it should serve as a reminder to keep your computer muted at all times or have a pair of headphones plugged in when you share office space.

If I ever go postal in the open plan office here, then it's going to be over random noise (skype sounds being the worst culprit) escaping someone's unmuted laptop.
