Good answer. If you don't want your computer to annoy people within earshot, then you don't want unexpected audio from websites.

It's interesting to note that both auto-playing background sound and graphically modified cursors are somewhat popular on Tumblr, as they were on sites like Myspace (when those sites allowed them) and Livejournal and such in the past. These sites are intended to form a semi-private personal space for the user and their friends. Because of that, these audio and graphical elements serve as a desired exclusionary force for random visitors - If you don't like the user's choice of sound and cursor, you can leave. Not a good choice for a site intended to attract high traffic.
