Any thought to soften, change up or rotate the bold sounds when opening a page? Initial hearing was neat but anything can get old.

YES!
It shouldn't play everytime unless we open it.
Mine plays when I open OGR, I don't hear it after that. No need for it, I guess the programmers were bored that day.

Mine played with each forum change this am. Neat tune the first time, it got whiskers by now.
Silence is golden.

Lucky me, I've never heard sounds on the OGR forum other than embedded or posted videos.

Ditto.
I have a couple 'disablers'....
The volume button on the computer speakers....turned 'off'.
The OPHA's (Old Phart's Hearing Aids) stuck in my auditory receptors...turned all the way 'down'.
(The latter has domestic advantages, too.)
Aside: Still bugs me when my doctor looks into the ears with his otoscope and mutters, 'Yep, nothing there!'
I never hear anything, even when Rich gets mad.
Like others above, I have never heard any sound when opening the OGR forum or moving between sub forums.
My speakers are on. Perhaps some of you are getting a pop-under of some type?

LOL!
I can't imagine it being the forum, as I don't hear a thing here.
That only happened this am when going to each different forum. frequent repeating looses it's effect to me. Music is very subjective. I just turn off the speakers now.
The ONLY page where we have any “sounds” playing is the forum home page where the 50-Year promo video is embedded. If you are hearing sounds as you go between forums, I don’t know what you are hearing, but I do know that it is not us.
I only hear sound after clicking 50th year OGR add. Don't click.
When in doubt, blame Martian methane gas.

My wife says I have selective hearing. I replied, "What?"
No sounds here on my iPad.

I only get the audio when I go back to the HOME page. Other than that, nothing.
FWIW, I'm not sure what purpose the opening sound serves, but I also find it annoying. I typically have Pandora playing in the background and the OGR theme song is in unwanted competition with it.
There is an embedded video on THE FORUM HOME PAGE - a SINGLE PAGE - and that's it. Any other sounds you may be hearing on other pages are NOT coming from OGR!
This is the video that's on the home page. Click the arrow to play it. Is this the sound you are hearing?
Total silence here... W10/firefox
Yes Rich that's the one I hear.
it's fixed now! Thanks.
I don't know what was "fixed" but it has to be something on your computer.
I didn't change anything here on the forum.
