• People with cognitive issues such as ADHD or who are hard of hearing and who use voice recognition software or a screen reader may find automatically loading audio sounds confusing.
• If you feel you must have background audio on your site you should provide a way to turn it off to prevent interference with any assistive technologies employed by your users.
• Points -
  • Three points if you have no automatically loading background sounds at all.
  • One point if users can turn the background audio off.
• Criterion weighting of two.
