    no evidence one way or another but I'd guess there isn't sound on websites because there isn't sound on websites. The medium is firmly established as a soundless one which leads people to use it in locations where they need to be quiet or to have an alternative sound source running whilst they surf (tv, music, etc...)

    I can't think of anything more annoying than sound for websites, plus in a lot of environments like the office, I do not even have sound available.

    For the record, "Options - Notifications - Disable all sounds" is the first thing I do after installing Skype on a new computer.

    When I'm playing a game, is about the only time sound is acceptable, and even then I should be able to turn off the sound and music independently, and both ASAP.

    Might mention that I absolutely hate the Skype sign-in/sign-out sound, but maybe that's just me...
