Juding by the current poll and the responses, the answer is a resounding NO. Poll says 20 don't like it to 1 person who does.

I do this too, and I would imagine a PNM would as well. If music pops up while you're opening the pages? Or even just one? Pain. In. The. Butt. Music automatically makes me dislike the website and the organization/company/whatever it represents, even if just a little. But probably a lot. And you don't want to do anything to turn PNMs off if you can help it.

I also used to work in usability and ree-Xi gives sound advice- especially about the content. Whether they are PNMs or members or parents or just interested people stumbling upon the site, people want to know more about the group. Put real information on there that gives the viewer a taste of who you are and why you are so great. Include captions or descriptions for people not in the know. Music does not tell your chapter's story. Put your efforts toward the content rather than the gimmicks.
