Hi Barry.

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.

Andy
