Sound is probably something that most users would not want to let near their web browser because they feel it is distracting them from other tasks. Still: There are users who prefer a beep whenever they are clicking or when a download fails. It might be helpful for visually impaired users on the other hand who get a nice audible confirmation for actions.</p><p><a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noise/">Noise</a> is an experimental Firefox add-on that adds sound support to Firefox. It is completely event driven meaning that it works by choosing an event, like a click, open tab or download done, and selecting a sound that should be played when the event occurs.</p><p>A set of about 20 default events is enabled by default which can be configured to play sounds. In addition to that new events can be added to the Firefox add-on which is unfortunately not as easy as it sounds because of the way new events are added.</p><p><span

The default beeping noise can also be replaced by other sounds. Users have to use the Events Reference to add events that are not already added by default. It might take a few tries before everything starts working like it should but it&#8217;s probably the best way to add sound to Firefox.</p><p>The Noise add-on is an experimental Firefox add-on meaning that it cannot be installed from the official Mozilla page without logging in first.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/24/add-noise-to-firefox/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
