Does It Sometimes Startle You When...??

I've had the bejeebers scared out of me a few times because of that. And been yelled at by my hubby when music starts blasting at 1:00 am. What's really bad is I have stereo surround sound on my computer, 5 speakers and a subwoofer. I've posted a couple of videos of my band on my profile but you have to hit the play button for it to start. I much prefer those to automatic players.

just happened to me the other day actually. i t hink it is cuz most on here don't have music added to the profile. This particular person did and it was oh so loud. yup..jumped out of my skins almost.

Yes this happened to me a couple of times, it has waken me up for sure, but I think these people are very clever with what they do with theirprofile page, I am not that adventurous maybe I should learn how to put the band I help music on mine and get worldwide exposure...hahahah :)

Yes, I have. It isn't that it is so bad, it is because I am not expecting it.

I know that people do have music on their profile page, but I have never actually heard it, I very rarely have my speakers on, but I suppose it would startle you, with this music blasting out all of a sudden..

Yes, pyewacket, I have had this happen to me a few times in the past, lol. It is totally unexpected. As you say, most of the time the music is nice, but sometimes I am already listening to music in Launchcast and it will drown out what I am listening to.

I don't have that problem anymore due to my cat chewing the speaker cords.lol. But I know what you mean. When I did have speakers, I hardly ever had them on.

It isn't only my feeling? thank you for pointing it out...I did jump up so many times, because very often it is so loud...

Thanks atleast u can enjoy the funny side of yourself when ur completely engrossed in making discussions and earning money,so calm down and dont jump out of ur seat next time ...lol!!!!

Thank you! I almost started a discussion on that a couple months ago. I live in an apartment, and it scares the fire out of me, and then I frantically try to turn the sound down before I make anyone mad. I'm sure I make a funny picture when I almost fly out of my seat. : )

hahaha I guess my old profile used to startle people. I used to put music on auto play there, playing Whitney Houston or Aguilera's songs, it's not rap/ disco/ metal, but still their voices are strong so people might be caught off guard. yes I experienced the same too, I think new people know how to put music on the new profile, I can't put the music on auto play now

Well now theres the trick...I have my sound turned off for just that reason...lol. I don't like being startled like that, I am old and my heart may rebel at some point, so I am playing it safe...lol.

I've had that happen in various pages. Right now I tend to do one of 2 things, either keep the volume on mute, or have headphones plugged in and only put them on when I have something I want to hear. I think that experiencing the blast from a page has shown me that this is the best to do.

Yes, I have had that happen..and it makes me giggle a bit too. The extra feature adds another point of interest when you drop by...but the unexpected blast can be somewhat unnerving!lol I am not sure how they add music...and I guess my other question are they breaking any copywrite rules by playing music without permission from the artist or producers? Just a thought. I guess if I ever decided to use a theme...I'd make sure that it was from public domain. That way no one can come back and as for royalties or whatever else they might come up with.

No because my sound is not working. I wish I could hear. I think its something in my speakers. I guess.LOL I guess it would scare me thou.heheheh

I haven't had that happen to me yet. But I keep my speakers turned down usually. I bet it does startle you though because it's unexpected. LOL

No I haven't experienced anything like that but I have ear phones plugged in and I only put them on when I want to hear something. Great way to avoid all the unnecessary sounds

Yes I have had that happen to me before. I have had it happen to when opening emails before. It can shatter your world. If one is not careful they can be hurt if they are on rolling chair and roll off the edge of the world when they jump. LOL

Oh yes, both me and the cat on my lap. I forget that I have my speakers on occasionally. Of course, what I hate more is when I am listening to music on the computer and it happens; both songs are being played at the same time, and there is no way to turn off the profile version without moving away from it, or shutting the speakers off.

how do you mean? i didn't understand very your story. but am interested in it.
