       Could this be jury rigged using Pandora and some bit of Java that controls your volume?

       Gets my vote if it could be random bird- song.

       No, no. Has to be Girl From Ipanema played on the vibes.

       Actually what would be perfect is the random, gibberish whistling that you always seem to hear as someone brushes up litter in an empty railway station late at night.

       Or perhaps the original Song For Norway Eurovision entry that forms the basis for 'My Lovely Horse'.

       Modem noise - so that you at least get the impression that it is doing something! (yes I lack a little patience)

       A highly annoying and maddeningly repetitive song, such as anything by Sting, would be more appropriate.

       I'm sorry, but I simply cannot vote for any idea involving promulgating elevator music.

       This should be fairly easy to bake as a Firefox plugin.

       Or... Fit your browser with a mirror.
