Neat concept, though I do wonder whether you'd go nuts if your site turned out to be extremely popular. I can imagine the sound being something like a machine gun firing if you tried this on say, Hacker News.

Still, seems like it could be fun to play around with none the less.

I believe Netscape or Mozilla did this - every download triggered a sound, and release day was like a machine gun of downloads.

Apparently it was a cannon sound; damn, that must have been loud as hell on release day.

Apparently that site redirects to a picture of a testicle [0]when the link is clicked from HN, seems the author of that blog hates HN. Figured I'd give a warning that it's NSFW for anybody at work
