I think you've hit the proverbrial on the head, Andy.

How annoying eh? I think this is merely a matter of poor web design. Like yourself, I tried everything to turn it off and ended up turning my speakers down. It was very imposing wasn't it? When putting audio onto a web page, the author can designate particular keystrokes to turn off the audio - I think, so I believe that this is just a poor web design. No expert but recognise your annoyance.
