What is Sound Tab?
Sound Tab is a Chrome extension designed to optimize your browsing experience by quickly and easily switching to and managing tabs that are producing sound. With the shortcut Alt+Shift+S, you can switch between tabs that play sound from multiple windows. If more than one tab is playing sounds, Sound Tab can cycle through each one, allowing you to filter unwanted noise and enjoy your chosen tabs.

Extension summary

Quickly switch to tabs that are making sounds by clicking the extension icon or by the shortcut Alt+Shift+S. If you are like me who usually have plenty of tabs open spread over several windows, it can be difficult to find which tab is playing sounds. You can now quickly jump to tabs that are making sounds with this extension!

If two or more tabs are playing sounds, the extension will cycle through all of those tabs with each press, so that you can filter out the sounds you don't need and keep on listening to the tabs you want to play!

The default shortcut is Alt+Shift+S. Keybindings can be edited through the "Keyboard Shortcut" menu at chrome://extensions/shortcuts
