Sorry about that. I'm a one guy does many things. Maybe I missed on video sound, but it's tricky trying to make a text editor look interesting. I thought the music helped.

I enjoyed the music. It gave me the feeling of an Apple presentation.

I'm also blessed with a computer that has a "mute" button if I didn't want to hear it.

I would've vastly preferred you narrating over the video instead of generic sounding Kickstarter music, I immediately muted it.

The music does sound interesting, but I also wanted to mute it. But at least there are some images later in the page.

I hated the music and closed my browser the second I couldn't find a mute button.

Sorry, I might have misunderstood you, but can’t you just mute the audio of your device altogether? Or do you want to continue to listen to music in the background or something?

It’s not uncommon to respond to bad UX by simply leaving. I do that all the time.

Strong disagree to both of these points. Nothing "insensitive", save your comment. Devices have audio controls, no need to repeat them in a video player-especially not one on a landing page for a product. Background music for promotional material is standard, and all too necessary.

> Devices have audio controls, no need to repeat them in a video player

You assume that the web page is the only source of audio happening on a device. If someone is listening to something on their machine while browsing articles and then needs to stop whatever is playing because the website is taking over the audio, that's very poor UX and is indeed insensitive to the user.

Suppose you have a screen reader and now you cannot hear it because a video is unnecessarily blaring music that you can't hide. 99.99% of all websites offer the user individual audio control over playing content -- for a reason.

Making me think that maybe you should be insensitive to certain users

> Making me think that maybe you should be insensitive to certain users

People with screen readers usually have an accessibility issue, so you are advocating to ignore the visually impaired, for example.
