Edited on Tue Mar-23-10 12:42 PM by Bicoastal
So that when other DU'ers open them, they'd hear an "AIIIIEEEEEE!" or "KABOOM!" or the Hallelujah Chorus, or, for posts about Sarah Palin, a resounding "Duuuuuuuhhhh..."

It'd make this place a little more exciting...

On edit: Don't tell me we couldn't use one of these once in a while.

I would find it really annoying and would mute the sound when browsing DU.

Reminds me of the subject of animated avatars, a pet peeve of mine, DU isn't as bad as some other websites with tons of animated avatars on endless play loops, thankfully

13. It would be fun for about an hour..
After that it would get really annoying, just like it did on IRC back in the old days.

14. I'd program the 'wah waah' sound
made by parents & adults in the Peanuts specials into threads started in order to whine about HCR/Barack Obama being president. Good GRIEF, Charlie Brown!

15. "I am a banana!"
That would be the start of every post.

It's quite possibly the best line in history. From http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuOvqeABHvQ">Rejected.

16. I have my own sound effects here in my office. I don't want or need
yours. Thanks, but no thanks.

Note: The single thing that sends me to my back button instantly is any sound emerging from my PC's speakers when I land on a website. It's an instantaneous. Normally, I hit the backspace key, since my hand is not on the mouse.
