Ec Little (ID: 000000b3d862a9d4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/24/2022 Properly identifies what you do and plays sounds...except the sound selection is obnoxious and useless. For what action exactly did the developer envision me wanting to play a car crash or fart sound?

Gaurav (ID: 0000004e80adac64) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/13/2021 Nice extension however the sounds itself are annoying. It can be a useful tool for accessibility. For example because of the sound, we can know if Ctrl+C worked. Or a subtle sound played when submitting a form is welcome. However most of the included sounds are ridiculous. I know it's for fun but I suggest the developer to turn it into a seriously useful extension by adding ability to set custom sounds of our choice, and useful sound events like IE had - page navigation start, page finished loading, feed discovered, pop-up blocked. We should be able to set very quite and subtle sounds for these instead of loud, annoying ones.
