Wow, this white noise has been driving me crazy for a long time but I could never track it down.

The tab doesn't show the "playing" icon, and muting the tab doesn't stop the noise.

Even using the Windows volume mixer to mute Firefox doesn't stop the noise.

Edit: The addon is actually pretty bad for a desktop user since the white noise starting/stopping constantly is far more annoying.

Seems like this is a deeper bug than FF then, no?

Not necessarily. Modern Windows lets you create a new mixer/mediasource separate from the app, so you can have Your regular app sounds then separate media(or notification) sounds.

I use the extension on desktop without problems. I guess it depends on what websites you visit. I would disable the extension for ones that do play/stop sounds a lot.
