And then you wake up and discover, hurrah: Google has solved your problem.

Indeed, to the timeless Mystery Of The Noisy Tab , Google has found a solution. The next version of the company’s browser, Google Chrome, will tell you which tab is the source of the din. If a tab plays music or a video, a small icon of a speaker will appear in the tab itself.

So instead of hunting through tabs, with click after agonized click, you can immediately see which tab offends and close it quick.

The version of Chrome with this prized feature is in beta and available for download now.

And now you—and your dreams—will be saved from the horror of the banshee tab.
