Should I take the audio out of this Indian restaurant flash site to make it load faster?!

A flash/SWF site that's under 2mb is nothing for today's broadband. If you're really worried about loading time, you should let people decide if they wanted to see flash/swf in the first place. HTML + CSS will make small sites like that load in no time. I'd also recommend that you go all out on the flash/swf part. Flash/swf sites like that won't impress people anymore. If you let people spend time and wait for the pages to load, you better impress them. Show them something fancier. By the way, I bet you knew audio files aren't big concerns with SWF anyway; you're not dealing with MP3 files which could be pretty sizable. But, take out that audio file anyway. It is a little annoying and I really don't find anything Indian in it.
PS: I think you're just trying to redirect traffic to the site. :)
Guess what I used to do for a living. :)
