About

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.
