Description from extension meta
Plays sounds when starting or finishing navigation or a download, when typing on a website, or when opening or closing a tab.
Description from store
Do you remember the classic sounds of the old Internet Explorer when clicking, when a page finished loading, or when a download completed? This extension brings those sounds back and adds other events, such as when typing in a text field or opening and closing a tab. In the options window, you can activate, deactivate, and customize the sounds to your liking.
𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀:
v 2.1
· Added the options page, where you can enable or disable events and customize sounds.
· Default setting changed to disabled for keypress sound
· Added events for opening and closing tabs.
v 2.0
· Mandatory update to Manifest 3.0 (which is more restrictive with sound playback).
· Added the event for typing in a text field.
𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞:
Information about automatic sound playback:
Due to Chrome's policies, extensions that attempt to play sound automatically may not work properly. The most effective solution I've found is to close all Chrome instances and start the browser with this setting:
chrome.exe --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required
...or if you use Edge:
msedge.exe --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required
This allows any page, including this extension, to play sounds without user interaction. However, keep in mind that this setting removes restrictions for all websites, which may result in unexpected behavior on sites with unwanted automatic sound.
For more details, check Chrome's official documentation:
https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay#developer_switches
It’s also important to note that sound cards, after a period of inactivity, often enter power-saving mode. Since the sounds in this extension are very short, they may not be heard immediately at first.

- (2021-07-04) Bharat Bhardwaj: This is absolutely amazing! :-) I am a blind screen reader user & struggled with getting to know the page status updates in Chrome. In between, i used a lot of third party extensions but none of them came even close to this one. I would like to thank the developer for the hard work & request them to maintain it in future as well. *Update* I had written across to the developer highlighting the issue of an error sound at the time of launching the Chrome browser which was promptly fixed by the developer via the update issued on the 03 July. In case you are also facing any such difficulty, please go ahead & update the installed extension to enjoy the fix.
