It would get unproductive but since you cannot turn the sound off, it stayed productive.

I was able to mute it, there are controls hidden at the bottom.

Who would have thought the ear icon mutes the sound.

i like that Chrome users, like formerly IE users, need special instructions to do what Firefox users can do very simply

Or Safari. Just click the little blue speaker icon in the URL bar.

I too ceased playing because of the sound. Barely funny the first time or two, it was just irritating after that.

(Yes, I know I could mute the site, but by then the appeal of the game was over.)

Most browsers show a little speaker icon on a tab playing sound, that you can click to mute the tab.

Right-click the tab > Mute Tab? I don't remember the last time I actually hunted for a mute button on a site, how do you deal with sites with auto-playing videos and whatnot?

I don't deal with them. If I mute it on my end, it gives the impression I'm ok with this kind of ads or content. But I'm not so I go elsewhere.
