It is part of the 30th anniversary celebration of Pac Man. The sounds
are the classic sounds of the Pac Man game, what is happening is that
a mini version of the game is starting up that is playable on the
Google homepage. I didn't think they would start unless one clicked
on the insert coin button since that starts the game, but maybe they
start up automatically or you accidentally hit the insert coin
button. If you have No Script installed on Firefox, you won't have
the issue and No Script fixes a lot of other issues on websites.

Hi everybody,
Have any of you been on google today? If not, there appears to be
something really strange going on with that site. As of 11a.m
eastern time this morning, I've noticed, that whenever I open either
internet explorer, or firefox, after either browser has been opened
for a few seconds, I'm greeted with this weird computer game type of
music, followed by the sound of what appears to be a police or
ambulance siren or something. I've found, that the only way I can
get rid of this thing, is to either close the browser entirely, or
if I go to another website, then it goes away. It only appears to
happen, when I am on the google site itself; and since both internet
explorer and firefox default to google.com, I'm not sure if there's
anything I can do to avoid it. I've tried visiting google with my
braillenote, and I find that I'm able to use the site, without that
funny music and siren getting in the way. If you visit the site,
you'll see what I'm talking about. The sound just keeps going on and
on, and it interfears with window-eyes.
