Google Chrome is among the most used web browser for desktop as well as on mobile phones. From dark theme mode to downloading pages as PDFs for offline browsing, Google Chrome has offered a variety of things for a better browsing experience. One of the unusual encounters while browsing is the background music of the website that plays on its own. In this guide, I will show you how to disable a website background sound that you always want to stop in Google Chrome for Mobile.
There are times when you visit a website as a part of your daily activity but it turns out that some websites play background music on its own without letting you know, it could be a wild advert or some media on the website that you don’t want to watch because you came just to read the text content.
Although you might have the option to disable the media or sound on the website itself, it’s just as annoying when you are frequently visiting the website and it every time plays on its own.
There’s a better way of disabling the sound rather than mute the audio, turning down your smartphone volume, or a simple tap on the close button on the media which you might want to do it on every visit. Google Chrome allows you to disable the sound completely of that particular website. So, the next time you visit the website, no audio is muted by Chrome.
