A sound is played by default when a new page is loaded, by the user clicking on any link or when the page is redirected on its own to a different url. The similar sound is played in windows expolrer too, when a new window is loaded.

This sound becomes an hurdle when several web pages are made to load in succession by redirecting them from one to another after a fixed duration, while each page is palying a BG Sound. In other words a sound file is split into several parts and each successive part is palyed as BG Sound with relvant content on the respective page to get redirected after the exact duration of the BG sound of that page.

While the pages smoothly get redirected as if a continous sound file is being played while the content of the page keep changing as the pages get shifted or redirected from one to another.

But when the page gets redirectd from one to another the default sound of the windows or from the IE (I presume from windows) gets added up in the BG sound intrupting the purpose.

Now, is there any solution in the form of a script to be added in the html code of the web page to supress this sound.

Please help.

Many have complained about the famous clicks in IE. I doubt they can be turned off. Atleast not via scripting since scripts were made to live inside the browser, not control it.

Shall be grateful if any one can help.

I highly doubt that's what you're looking for.

"E"-E? Hmmm....

I took another look at the problem and I now know it's impossible to disable the sound via scripting. Nothing that runs in the browser has that kind of control because it's part of the windows sound themes.

The only way to make it go away is to have your visitors disable it.

Windows 95, 98, ME & 2000:

Click the Windows "Start" button at the bottom of your screen
Go to Settings... Control Panel...
Click on "Sounds"
Scroll down to the "Windows Explorer" section and in that category click on "Start Navigation."
In the "Sound" section of the window, click on the drop-down box and select "(None)."
Click "OK."
Windows XP:

Hit the "Start" button at the bottom of the screen
Select "Control Panel"
If you're in "Category View" (it will say "Pick a category" at the top of the window), click on "Sound, speech, and Audio Devices," and then click on "Change the sound scheme;"
OR
If you're in "Classic View" (you will just see a list of icons like "Accessibility Options," "Add Hardware", etc.), double-click on "Sounds and Audio Devices," and then click on the "Sounds" tab.
Scroll down to the "Windows Explorer" section and in that category click on "Start Navigation."
In the "Sounds" section of the window, click on the drop-down box and select "(None)."
Click "OK"
