It is normal for any person browsing the internet regularly to open multiple tabs at once. Now, when you open several tabs at once, you might check one or two tabs and get involved in some work. Alternatively, you might be peacefully reading some blog or news article and suddenly some audio plays up that might be irritating or disturbing to you. I have been in this situation several times and often wondered about the solution for this problem before giving up! I was happy when Chrome came up with the volume indicator (or audio indicator) to identify which tab / tabs are currently playing the audio. It was a good cure to the problem of sudden audio play in any Chrome tab. However, as "Prevention is better than cure", I was just hoping for some preventive measures being made available by Google Chrome. My wish has indeed come true in the form of "Mute Inactive Tabs" Chrome extension as well as "MuteTab".

Tips for using MuteTab Chrome Extension
When you do a comparison of "Mute Inactive Tabs" and "MuteTab" options, you would find that the first one is a much better extension. Disadvantages of "MuteTab" include:
-Inability to handle pop-up window audio as well as some other audio types.
-Making videos and games unplayable in a tab that is muted.
-It may get cumbersome to navigate through a large drop-down list of tabs to mute in case you plan to mute selected tabs only.
Please share your opinions below and any other tips for using these extensions in a better way to mute Google Chrome tabs. I personally prefer the first extension (Mute Inactive Tabs) because of its ease of use and fulfilling the purpose in one click. If you want to mute all tabs, keep the extension activated and if you don't, then, just click on the icon to disable the tab mute functionality. Does it get any simpler than this?
