FFS this crazy nose started a few mins ago, wtf. That's it, uninstall Firefox on Mac OSX 10.6
Just started today.
Uninstall the Cooliris add-on. Fixed it.
Same problem here.... I wonder if someone is working on this yet?
I have exactly that same problem, started about 10 minutes ago. Will abandon Firefox (:-() if there is no fix, cannot use it if it is like this

Firefox has an update for cool previews now. Update your add ons install the update for cool previews, this should fix the problem. Worked for me.
go to the Cool Previews site and download the latest version. They were aware of the siren problem and this latest version fixes the problem. The siren will go away after downloading and restarting fox
Google's logo is a playable game of Pacman. Use some Common Sense. :)
Simply leave google and the sound leaves....

SOLUTION: disable the "Cool Previews" add on for firefox. go to the "Tools" link at the top of the browser, go down to "Add Ons", go to the "Cool Previews", click "Disable". Then restart firefox and it should be fine!
BACKGROUND It's Pac-Man's 30th Birthday today, and Google's homepage is a playable Pac-Man game around the Google logo. . . . forr some reason the music is stuck on with Firefox Start / Google Search page. Disabling Cool Previews seems to fix it.
deleted cool previews then restarted firefox and an option came to reload a repaired version of cool previews. lets see what next in store.
dont have google open in a tab!!!!!!!! (if you are one who opens FF and it opens google then immediately open another tab to go to a site then just visit the site from the page that opened without opening a new tab)
OR
if you have cool preview then disable that
(the sound is for the celebration of 30 years of pacman and you can play the game on googles homepage)
Firefox and add-on glitch causing pacman music to play continuously. Its the cool previews add-on
All you have to do is disable the "Cool Previews" add on for firefox. Go to the "Tools" link at the top of the browser, go down to "Add Ons", go to the "Cool Previews", click "Disable". Then restart Firefox and it should be fine! can restart in a couple of days. Make sure you disable the add-on not just turn it off
I uninstalled CoolPreviews and the noise stopped. I reinstalled CoolPreviews and still no noise.
jees it's so annoying i dont like this game anyway. did cool previews folks did it intentionally?
