    Thanks for the replies.

    I am always the first one to shoot down ideas that my boss comes up with, and I think they think that I try to shoot everything down just because I don't like it.

    They have no reference to anything but "Well, our customers like it when their website makes sound"

    I asked them "Uhm, well do they like it when any OTHER websites have sound? I doubt it. Because then they can't wow them selves by thinking "wow, I have sound on my website which makes the ridiculous-seeming price seem worth it to me"

    Our clients are generall luddite idiots . . .

    but that's beside the point.

    My bosses were pretty vehemently arguing that users like sound.
    Although neither of them have any data to back it up.

    I didn't realy have any data to back it up either - but I just know myself, and having read tons of complaints over the years that people HATE sound in general.

    and NT got a lot of flack for that jingle.
    Complaints everyweek for a long time until people gave up complaining because they never did anything about it.
