## Description

Bring your browser to life with sound. This addon plays subtle audio cues for common actions — like opening a new tab or loading a page — and now adds a cheerful round of applause whenever you close a tab.

If you enjoy audible feedback or want your browser to celebrate your progress, this extension is a fun and lightweight addition to your workflow.

You can customize the experience with options to enable or disable individual sounds and adjust their volume independently.

Built on top of Julian Fietkau’s port (version 1.1.3) of the original UI Sounds extension for Firefox. Thanks, Julian!
