totally *HATE* pages with any sort of noise on them. As do most
people I think.

Done properly I feel that background music is a good thing. I've collected a few things that we have made at Farfar (grandpa in swedish) as an example and a few other good ones aswell. Your audience should have a broadband connection though if you want to add sound and music to our web page. Hopefully some of you non-music people might reconsider?

These examples are of course not recommened to use on apple.com and that kind of webpages, but remember that you can use music and sounds in an introduction piece or perhaps only on one of the pages on the web site.

Why not create a radio station? Record a DJ and assemble a few tracks. Perhaps even with a few channels to choose from?

Farfar for Nokia N-Gage:

If you are able to syncronize graphics, sound effects and the music you can really put the visitor in the mood you are looking for.

In practise, you will have to go with Flash to be able to pull this off - reaching a maximum audience.

Farfar for Redbull:

Farfar for Absolute:

(we did this a long time ago, Safari seems to fail to open the page correctly after the age form. Right click and "open to new window" or use another web browser).

Fishhouse

Amiamo (click on the logo)

If you that your visitors are quicktime users you could of course build the whole thing in quicktime. Then even consider making a skined movie and put the experience outside the webbrowser and onto the desktop?
