There's a really high pitch sound when the emulator starts that hurt my ears (was wearing earphones with high volume). Beware.

We used to call it the “beep” :)

Yeah, but back in the day you didn't run the raw square wave signal into your headphones. Even if you used headphones the beep would go to the speaker either in the chassis or in the monitor

That's the true-to-life sound of the monochrome monitor. Bonus points for added realism!

This didn't happen for me, chrome on Linux. I was listening to Jimmy Dore in another tab, and there was no high-pitched sound.
