SecretNoisyWebPages
I'm using either Opera, Firefox or Safari (at school) to surf the web. After some time online, I usually have 5-15 open tabs on my browser. at this time, a seriously annoying problem often occures:
Usually, when this happens, I begin obsessively going through all the open tabs and search for the page that is most likely making the noise (myspace pages, wierd full-screen flash sites, etc).
This is clearly the case of user frustration. I have a few tabs open, and let's say I want to make the noise stop asap, I now have to close each noise candidate - but in many cases I find out that I had closed the wrong page, or worse, I get 2 pages playing some music at the same time.

This brings several questions to mind:
- Can (and should?) my browser indicate that a tab-page is causing soundplay?
- Can I have a mute button on my browser (I would certainly like one)
- Do people that create noisy web pages never use a tabbed-browser to surf to their own pages?
