At times when I am using my web browser – normally Google Chrome – I hear sound playing and I am not sure where it's coming from.
I always do research our performing multiple tasks thus I have many tabs open. So I am wondering if there is a way of determining which tab has sound coming from instead of having to close/search all the tabs.
I'm currently using Windows 8.

There is an extension for Google Chrome that does this. It's called MuteTab.
Helps narrow down which tab that sound is coming from, browser-wide granular mute controls, automatically mute background tabs

By the way, as of early 2014, Chrome has added a feature that shows which tabs are playing sound (a tiny speaker icon in the tab) -- other icons for tabs recording with your webcam, or chromecasting.
You'll see those now that you know to look for them, but just in case, here's the Chrome blog post describing the feature.

Is your car making noise? Do you need help trying to find it? I'm sure with the tips outlined here you'll be able to figure it out. Keep in mind that car sounds are difficult to figure out sometimes, and car sounds and noises vary with temperature, road conditions, incline and decline, vehicle speeds, etc. In order to figure out where the car noises are coming from, you have to ask yourself a few questions, so I will give you a list of things to pay attention to, and it should get you closer to figuring out what's causing the noise. |
TheWhat, Where, and When's of Car Noises
·When is the car making noise? when the vehicle is moving or when it's stopped?
·Whatspeed does the noise occur at?
·Isit coming from the inside or outside of the vehicle?
·Isthe noise in the front, middle, or rear of the vehicle?
·Is thecar noise a knock or a rattle?
· Does engine speed matter?
·Doesthe noise get louder or softer with speed?
·Whatis the temperature outside?
·Is the car making noise on a hot day or cold day?
·Isthe noise coming from the engine?
·Doesthe noise happen while turning or going straight?
·Is the car making noise while accelerating or braking?
The list ofquestions can go on forever, so the best diagnosis is to pay attention when thevehicle is making the noise and make a mental note or write it down so youdon't forget.

Here are a fewtips for how to diagnose a car sound while the vehicle is moving. Look for an abandon or empty parking lot, usethe parking lot as a testing ground, if your car makes noises while turning,drive the car in slow circles, if your car makes noises going over bumps, findsa bumpy part of the parking lot and continue to drive over it until youfigure out how to reproduce the noise (then test drive it with your mechanic soyou can prove the car really does have a noise). If you can reproduce the noisewith the mechanic in the car, it will/could save you a lot of money in diagnosingtime.
Where Is The Sound Coming From
Drive along side of a guardrail, Jersey barrier, or building wall, like in a shopping mall when the car is making noise. Roll down your windows on the object side (building, guardrail) of the car, the noise will bounce off the object and the vehicle noise will be much more pronounced.
If the vehicle makes noise only while driving on roads that make the body of the vehicle bounce, try bouncing the vehicle while it's parked. Have a friend bounce the vehicle while you sit in it, can you reproduce the noise? If you can reproduce it, bring it to your mechanic and have them check it out, show the mechanic how to reproduce the noise, it will save them time, and it will save you money.

Car Noises Travel
Noises can get tricky because car sounds travel down the metal frame and suspension parts, also noises bounce around inside the vehicle cabin like an empty can, sometime you will chase a noise for days and not figure it out, but with these tips, you should have a better understanding of how to start the diagnosis process, so don't get discouraged, even top mechanics get stumped sometimes.
Body creaks and suspension squeaks are some of the toughest noises to chase. Body creaks change with ambient temperatures and sometimes you have to disassemble half the vehicle to find where the noise is coming from. Suspension creaks are also very difficult to figure out because it's not easy being under a vehicle while it's moving. When we have suspension creaks we can't figure out, we use a tool called The Chassis Ear.
The Chassis Eartool is a bunch of alligator clamps with sensors that send an amplified noiseback to a control box, and a set of headphones, you can clip the alligatorclamps onto different parts of the vehicle and road test it while listening fornoises. The control box then sends thenoise to a set of head phones, being able to drive the vehicle and use thechassis ear can save you a lot of time and frustration, but it's a bit priceyfor the DIY guy, but if you do this kind of work a lot, it's worth theinvestment.

Manual Transmission Noise
Have you ever driven a manual transmission vehicle and heard an awful noise when starting out in first gear? It will usually sound like cards in your bicycle spokes, and you can almost feel a vibration in the vehicle.
Aug 21, 2012 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) expands upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 19 years ago. CS: GO features new maps, characters, weapons, and game modes, and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (dedust2, etc.).
Watch the video below and listen to the noise, if this is the noise you have in your transmission, then you may need to have the main input shaft bearing replaced.
If this is the case, the transmission will need to be removed from the vehicle and taken apart completely, because the main input shaft bearing sits at the bottom of the transmission case.
