Same exact problem. Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Version

Same problem. Never heard it until today. iMac Tiger version10.4.11. How can I eliminate the sound? Turning speakers off is only a band-aid solution.

You're using a Mac, that's the problem.

We were able to resolve the issue by disabling the "Cool Preview" add-in. Mac OSX 10.4

I also disabled Cool Previews and it stopped. (Using Windows XP).

And I'm running a PC so the fellow with the MAC isn't alone ;-) It's the sound track from "Pac Man" Aaaaaargh! But I took the suggestion from Anonymous and disabled Cool Previews and it stopped (so far!). Cool Previews has been running on my PC for a while and today is the first time this has happened.

i have the same problem..when i am using firefox...there is a siren sound i am hearing, i am using windows ultimate(operating system)...please help me...thanks!

Same exact problem. Windows 7 64-bit Version. Uninstalled firefox ver. 3.6.3 and installed ver. 3.5.9. Problem still there. Then saw the solution above and disabled Cool Previews (which has been running on my laptop for 5 months without probs). Problem solved

Same problem, Cool previews was already turned off. Siren/PacMan loop continues. Removing Cool Previews entirely. Restarted FF. Sound gone.

My sound came from a sign company selling yard signs to replace ADT/alarm company signs with a human target w/bullet holes sign containing a catchy phrase. Referred by Piazza/Frontsight gun training academy email.

I seriously doubt Cool Previews as the source of the problem, rather an unwitting victim like the rest of us---when will some people grow up?

I am using vista on my hp laptop. The problem started today but by disabling cool previews the problem is resolved so far.

...It's Google. Duh.

music starts start page

Cool Previews has an update that fixes this issue. Installed it a couple of weeks ago and all has been fine since:

http://www.coolpreviews.com/

I posted earlier that I have the same problem but with CSI New York theme song.

I have no coolpreview and I use window vista not a mac. My firefox version is 3.6.8

I want the music to go away please help

Are you certain CoolPreview isn't listed under Tools/Add-ons/Extensions?

So far everyone who has had this problem had CoolPreview, including me!

I am also running Windows Vista and have FireFox 3.6.8.

If you're certain you don't have CoolPreview suggest trying either or both of the following:

1) Download and install the current CoolPreview from www.coolpreviews.com. That's what fixed it for me! Even if you don't have coolpreview, it might overwrite some errant code that is on your machine.

2) Or ... uninstall FireFox completely, restart your machine, then download and reinstall FireFox.

One last thought, are you the ONLY user on that machine? Do you have other user sign-ons? If so, someone else may have downloaded it and that's where the bad code is hiding.

Running a Mac G4 with OS 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.8. I get classical music while Firefox is active. My only add-on is AddThis 3.0.1 and I downloaded it months ago. No recent downloads or updates of any software. I have not opened or searched Google or played PacMan. I do not have CoolIris. I do not want CoolIris. I will run for the hills from their products now! Sent CoolPreviews a message for help. I included that I do not want to download their software.

p.s.: I recognize the music but cannot remember the name.

UPDATE: 19 Sep. 2010 Downloaded and uninstalled CoolPreviews. Restarted Firefox. Music continues to play. My machine does not support CoolIris.

UPDATE 2: 19 Sep. 2010 Closed all open tabs and then Firefox. Removed Firefox from Dock. Exported Bookmarks (was about to uninstall Firefox but did not) from Firefox. Music has stopped. I do not know why but I am glad.

You may be open in Tools Tab then Options in menu bar. After that a new window will opened. In General Tab you find in the last line with a white box " Manage Add-ons". Click on this Box, after clicking a new add ons manager Firefox web page will open, there you find in the left side plug-ins, you disable the shock wave at the right side, after disabling, the background music will be stopped.

Sound problem (like alien ghosts talking constantly) went away completely when Microsoft Silverlight was uninstalled. Thank you again Microsoft.

Yes simply turn off the (animation) go to start bottom and write in the search box animation, the computer will display (turn off animations) so click there go down to tthe page which were outomatically opened after ur click and tick (turn off all unnessesary animations) than apply and click ok...... then restart ur computer.
