We've already got one. It is NSFW.

A number of times I have seen a warning on CUK regarding sound, for example:

Send this to some of your colleagues when the directors are doing the rounds... Top 10 cutest kittens NSFW (sound)!

Why would you need the sound up on your PC in the office?

I have mine muted (for the reason you describe).

If you need the sound for a soft phone or similar then your headset will mask the unwanted noise surely.

Just happened to me - I clicked on a link in the Student loan thread, and some mong started talking at full volume about the digits of PI!
