Description

Chrome Sound Effects — hear your browser Make Chrome more accessible and delightful with subtle sound cues for common actions: * tab created/closed/switched * page navigation completed * window focus changes * bookmarks added/removed/moved * typing, scrolling, and resizing Why it helps users with vision impairments * Auditory confirmation: Immediate sound feedback reduces reliance on small visual indicators, helping users with low vision or screen fatigue know an action succeeded. * Orientation and flow: Distinct sounds for tab changes, navigation, and focus make it easier to track where you are without scanning the screen. * Reduced cognitive load: Consistent cues turn repetitive checks (did this click work?) into effortless listening. * Customizable to needs: Enable only the cues you want and upload your own sounds for clearer or more recognizable feedback. Key features * Per‑event control: Toggle any sound on/off. * Custom sounds: Upload your own audio for any event. * Private by design: No data collection or tracking; preferences and custom audio stay on your device. * Lightweight: Plays short, unobtrusive sounds that complement your workflow.

Hello dear developer. Please change the sounds for starting a new page or site to a different sound, softer. And please change the sound for closing the browser or web page. They are too loud for me. I am a blind person or they are very loud to my hearing. Thanks in advance. For some reason, I uncheck some of the checkboxes, but after the first launch they are removed by themselves and sounds for some actions in the browser appear again. We also need to work on this.

I used this extension in Opera, there are a few sounds which I tried to switch off, BUT when I relaunch Opera later, these sounds came back on its own, unclicked it a few times but still they come back. Perhaps it doesn't like Windows 11, I have uninstalled it and went for "Sound Plus" .

Sounds: Too much - Too loud! REQUEST: Please add an Option for OWN SOUNDS. Like in the ''Extra Sounds'' Add-On for Firefox ... https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/extra-sounds

I like the fact that it can play sounds for just about every action, but I really hate the sounds that have been picked. If there were a way to customize them and change volume it would be perfect.

Pretty great. It does what it says. It has a few sounds that are toggled by various actions. You can always turn some of them off if you don't like some of them. It would be nice to change the sounds, though. Some alternative sound themes or allowing the user to import custom sound files would be super great and add a lot of value to the extension. I personally don't care for the stock sound effects. They're not bad; just not my cup of tea.

It's a great sound tool but yet it consumes memory.
