Chrome Version: 66.0.3359.117
OS: Linux (have not tried other platforms yet).

Repro steps (also see attached screencast)

1. Load attached HTML file.
2. Open DevTools and turn on Device mode (otherwise it will not repro). 
3. Click in the Omnibox and hit enter (this is necessary apparently).
4. Click on the 2nd button once (which uses 'pointerdown' event).
5. Observe warning thrown in the console

"The AudioContext was not allowed to start. It must be resume (or created) after a user gesture on the page."

6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 a few times, it will keep throwing the warning in the console.
7. Repeat step 3, and then click on the 1st button. Notice that there is no warning.

Also note that if step 3 is replaced with "Hit the refresh button", the bug does not reproduce (most likely refresh is different than navigation).


What is the expected result?
pointerdown should be considered a user gesture, because it is one.

What happens instead?
pointerdown is not detected as a user gesture.

Started noticing this on the version mentioned above. Have not performed a bisect yet. Also have not tried other platforms yet.
