Neither of these pages show a "click to start" message for me, but they should. In TFA I had to hover over the "silent gif" to see a volume control, and in the acid banger I had written half of this comment before I figured out you could just click anywhere to unmute.
That's a browser thing. Thank the advertising industry with their auto-playing audio ads. To get rid of that browsers now require you to engage with a page before audio can be played.

Where "engage" just means any UI event, so also a simple mousemove over the area.
