It woke up my wife, as I tried it on my phone when the stupid elevator music played it out loud :/

In all seriousness, I hope this will not become another 250kb JS framework we use in our projects..

First if all, fuck webpages that play sound unexpectedly. Secondly, what percentage of elevators even play music these days?

Pretty much every elevator I've been in for the last ten years. I note it mentally because spirit of the music is always at odds with the messages on the display screens.

I think the only elevators where I haven't heard music recently are in residential buildings.

Maybe it's regional, as I've never heard music in an elevator before.

Same. Weird. I never imagined something so seemingly consistent as elevators having regional dialects.

huh... no shit. I think I've encountered maybe 2 or 3 elevators that play music in my life, and I'm a middle-aged guy living and working in a major metropolitan area where most non-residential, and many residential buildings have elevators.

Where do you live / what type of buildings are these?

Same here, it's 6.40am here and I am about to start my 2h sprint before my kid wakes up. I feel I deserve for browsing HN instead of being productive :D

It's 1.77kb of JS. But in any case, I don't think you need to worry about many people using it.

The music gave me a small heart attack as well since I was just watching a movie earlier and had my volume turned way up.

Had a good laugh about it afterwards haha...

I had to stumble upon your comment to realize that thing made noise. I was wondering how a "scroll to top" function was at the top of HN.

Thanks I didn't notice there was music.

You don't keep your volume muted? That's a little silly

You judge how other people use their computers without knowing the first thing about their circumstances? That's a little silly
