Does this little fellow give you grief too? I know he is there and I work hard to avoid him. Though, sometimes, I forget and slip my cursor over his 'spot'. An example being, after I just finish watching a movie and the volume is up loud on the PC.

Neither does my neighbor, my co-worker or my significant other. Gone are the days of "sounds popping out of nowhere on websites". Please --for the sake of my sanity and serenity, take this wonderful, neat and completely useless feature off the index of your website.
