Ah - lots of small things you can do to give people hints as to what they should do on a website.
1. Ask yourself what you want the people to do.
2. What hints can you provide them that gets them to do what you want them to do.
One eg: just adding the mouse pointer picture to the buy button will increase your sales.
Instead of the button saying "Buy Now" - let it say "Buy Now" and have a picture of mouse pointer next to it - which lets people know that they should click there.
You can do a lot of such things with
colour
layout
linking
pictures and
words
that will let them subtly know what they should do. Sound is not necessary.
