My only solution was to delete Firefox from my computer fearing it was a virus.

Yes, the PacMan sound from the Google main page is the exact same annoying one I get with FireFox doesn't matter in which site I am.

Yes, Flashblock add on works like a charm. I had the same problem and followed Ross' suggestion to add Flashblock add-on and am now able to say goodbye to PacMan's siren sound!
