In some browsers (e.g. Chrome), clicking the elevator and leaving the tab to make it inactive would play the tune indefinitely (the chime plays only when the tab is activated again). If you enjoyed the tune, well, you've got something to do now.

Sadly Tim Holman removed this essential feature: https://github.com/tholman/elevator.js/commit/7e19e0f23edf6b...

Fortunately you can access the music file directly: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tholman/elevator.js/master...

I'm very annoyed about the sudden blaring, jarring music. Got a few angry stares from colleagues.

The polite thing to have done would at least put up a notice.

While I dislike websites playing sudden sounds as much as the next guy, it should serve as a reminder to keep your computer muted at all times or have a pair of headphones plugged in when you share office space.

If I ever go postal in the open plan office here, then it's going to be over random noise (skype sounds being the worst culprit) escaping someone's unmuted laptop.

This was a lot of fun. I don't care that it isn't hyper-practical, or a jQuery plugin may or may not exist. We aren't that serious about ourselves, are we?
