For me, the magic of Manic Miner is in the exquisite game-mechanics, and I'm so familiar with the game that my brain fills in the missing sound anyway.
What I miss more than the sound is the pixel-perfect guardian collision-detection of the original Spectrum-version. The version of Jet Set Willy on this site is closer to the mark in terms of being faithful to the original MM/JSW game-mechanics.
I can appreciate your feelings towards the silence. Its was only a few months ago I was introduced to the game. And the sound seemed to fit very naturally, so I would have never figured that the original had no sound. Actually, I thought the game was made by one of the people that created the site I first played the game on. I never heard of it before.
So, since it first had sound for me, I want sound nag-nab-it!! Sersiouly though, I will play the game on this site cause I like that the site keeps high scores plus since you informed me that the game originally had no sound, then I will take back anything I said badly against darnkitty. 
See...another situation where I opened my mouth too soon, w/out knowing all the facts.  |

The sound in Manic Miner on the spectrum used to drive me crazy, and I don't miss it. But that's not the reason for not including sound in this version - my reason was simply laziness. Ideally I'd like to have had the sound in, with an option to turn it off. But what can you do? :-) |

great game and nice site.
a little observation, in level 4 when willy jumps into the flashing box, i remember his legs staying flat on the ground rather than off the ground! i used to play this on Spectrum+ 48k.
