But we are not looking for easy ways, are we? The first method, in my opinion, is not very effective. The second will be much more effective:

• Click the Settings (three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the screen) and select the “Settings” tab;

• Click the Advanced link at the bottom of the screen;
• Open “Privacy and Security” section;
• Click “Site Settings”;

• Select the Sound tab;

• The default value “Allow sites to play sounds (recommended)” allows you to play sound from any site on the Internet, regardless of whether you visited this site or not. To prohibit this, simply click on the switch, and the value will change to “Turn off sounds on sites”;

• No more sounds will be played. If you do not want to completely turn off all sound, you can add exclusion sites from this rule by clicking the “Add” button next to the “Allow” section.

Conclusion

Now, when you visit such a site or open a new tab by reference, all audio and video files with automatic playback will be disabled. Enjoy the silence.
