Fyi, autoplays sound. Generally an unacceptable UI decision imho.

There is a button ”Enter muted” right below enter

I didn't click anything, the sound just started playing while there was a loading animation

What browser are you using? IE6?

Just kidding. But you must have clicked somewhere. Audio autoplay hasn't been a thing on the web for years (thankfully).

It auto played for me in iOS Safari with no interaction

Not for me. So there’s that. But tapping anywhere on screen does start the sound.

When you tap the screen on ipad while the page still loads (and doesnt show anything), it plays sound before you click enter

Hmm, here (macOS + Chrome) it starts with 'Sound off', says even so in the bottom right corner.
