So what do you guys do? All on? Turn off the annoying ones?

Mine are all off now, sometimes i've had a few on, but i prefer the visual ambiance... should i fire them all back on? I've never had them all going

I usually have them all on, even the annoying ones. I have even done the mods necessary to allow TRON and Satan's Hollow to have attract sounds like Gorf does. There are several that I wish had attract sounds, like Moon Patrol, Burgertime and Berzerk.

All on. Nothing is on Free Play as that turns some of the Attracts off.

Sounds are what remind me more of an arcade then anything else.
 
All off here, except City Connection because the dip switch for it doesn't seem to work on my boardset.
 
I always have my attract sounds on as well, and no free-play, either, since I like the aspect of putting a coin in the machine, too.
 
All off. They're all in the family room, and I like to have all the machines turned on sometimes when people are watching TV or playing Xbox.
 
All off.

I don't really have enough games to reach the critical mass required to make attract sounds stop being annoying and start being cool. Only 6 video games and 2 pinball machines in the loft, and two don't do attract audio (Asteroids & BattleZone).

I'm in your boat; five machines in the room and one pin, but only attract sounds possible on one game.
 
Die Hard stays off, but when MKII is y'know working, it stays on. Haven't seen if I like World Cup's attract mode yet. I'd probably keep Die Hard on if I didn't turn the volume up so loud. I like it loud, but man the sound really booms on that one.
 
All ON!

Tho most of them go off after a couple minutes. (board controlled)
 
All off, and I even had to write a ROM hack for After Burner to make it so. Our space gets used for lots of pseudo-arcade parties, and when no one's on the games, we'd rather listen to the playlist.
