	~Terrie K ~ says: Even if you close the Google tab or the browser the irritating pacman sound will continue. If you are using Firefox and have the Coolpreviews addon, disable it and that will solve the annoying problem www.ghacks.net/2010/05/21/google-pacman-sound-bug/ Edit to include above link Posted 25 months ago.
