As it happens, I had an experience right at the start that sort
of alarmed me with this sound. Had come back into the room when
it was loaded and playing and I first thought something might be
up with my tower, my HD, I was worried a bit. Took me a mo to
realise it was the speakers and the website. I would not blame OP
for not thinking of beings on the other side of the planet who
dash in and out to grab cups of tea and stuff and have paranoid
thoughts about their hardware <g>
