It may be a useful tool for the Chinese government or the NSA or anyone doing research.

It may be a security risk.

Toggling off the audio icon isn't enough. A moderator or Emcee should be able to turn it off for the thread (or a default of Off), and a member should be able to toggle off in Settings to opt out at the member level.

I have SI open in multiple tabs on one device and in 1 tab on another. I don't want noises and I don't want to encourage noises.

I'd like a new Setting for Post or Read, so a member can Set it to Read only and not inadvertently post, until he knowingly Sets it to Post. Or, if you enable Emcee control, a Setting to Post Only to threads whose Emcee opts out of the Noise and Bllinking Alerts.

The premise is a dumb idea that likely will reduce posts, and reduce the value to advertisers.
