Websites that play video sound should have either a play button to start it, or an option to turn it off before playing it.

IMO, browsers should require pages to secure permission (with the user having a per-page option to grant permission one time or permanently on a per-origin basis) before playing sound.

Alternatively, it could be designed such that you would expect sound. Probably quiet at first, rather than SUDDENLY NOISE. Surprised me, Kickstarter has been a master of ambient video.

Super weird, I didn't get any sound in the slideshow at all, except when playing the Veronica Mars trailer and Werner Herzog video, which required user action to play. I went through the entire thing, not sure what I'm missing. What browser/OS are you using?
