Annoying sounds

I was just doing a little javascript, and i needed to output a pair of values with the classical window.alert. It worked ok in firefox, then I went to iexplorer and suddenly I heard that stupid sound when an alert window opens ("blink!"), that I had almost forgotten.

Seriously, do we need that sound? Everybody was complaining about the ridiculous improvements in css support in the upcoming IE7, but I think this is very important too. It is something which points at you: "YOU HAVE MADE AN ERROR! YOU STUPID USER!", making you feel ashamed (specially if there's someone around looking at you).

And yes I know you can deactivate the sounds in windows, don't come with that answer…

*giggles*

NOTE: would be nice if you appreciate the subtle irony before populating my comments with IE-is-not-that-bad kind of comments…
