Audible noise-like sound at startup

This is an issue that happens both on the Dosify test page and at DOS Games Archive, at least in Chrome. I tested this on two machines with similar results.

After JS-DOS loads the files and the DOS screen appears as a game starts, a brief but very unpleasant noise can be heard. I ran multiple tests and discovered that for whatever reason, the quality and volume of said noise seems to depend on the ZIP file size (but not on compression rate or the size of the unpacked files), with files in the range from about 2 MiB to 2.9 MiB giving the quietest, least noticeable noise similar to faint clicking, but everything above or below that range usually results in a rather loud, grating noise.

Compare Doom Shareware (2.32 MiB ZIP) and Bedlam Demo (5.10 MiB ZIP).

Seems fixed in v7. You can try here. Unfortunately I can't say when v7 will be released. But I will not update 6.22 anymore.

Is there a way to fix this in v6.22?

It can be fixed, but no time to do this. (
