It just started today 5/21/2010 morning. If I use other internet browsers, there's no annoying siren sound.

Some add on is working with google. If you check Google.com you can play PacMan, celebrating PacMan birthday. Regardless, the sound is annoying and everywhere i go.

Same problem. Am running Ubuntu 10.04 with Firefox 3.6.4. Siren sound started when I opened a random window, not directly after an install or reboot.
