If you want help identifying where the sounds came from and use Chrome, check out a chrome extension I built (http://www.mutetab.com http://www.mutetab.com) which will let you see which tabs most recently played a sound.
- zrobotics 8y agoFirefox already does this better than Chrome, tabs that are playing sound have a speaker icon next to them, and can be muted without switching to the tab by clicking the speaker. However, this looks like a great extension, since I normally have 6-10 windows open across desktops, and have definitely played the "hunt the tab" game to find the offending window. A central place to find this is great, but I really wish Chrome by default had some sort of indicator for sound.
- jaredsohn 8y ago> tabs that are playing sound have a speaker icon next to them, and can be muted without switching to the tab by clicking the speaker. Chrome has that, too, but you need to right-click->mute to mute. Mentioned my extension since it should make it easier to find the noisy tab because of the centralization, but haven't ported it to Firefox.
- zrobotics 8y agoOddly, my chrome install (win 10,very seldom used) does not do this. Just tested with both YouTube & NPR playing audio, I get no indication of audio playing. I guess it's time to play sysadmin.

- scrollaway 8y agoChrome also has a speaker icon in the tab. You can mute it with right clicking => Mute site.
- fouc 8y agoSafari also has clickable speaker icons that show up on all the tabs that have websites playing sound.
