Upper right three dots "customize and control" > settings > adv settings > downloads > site settings > sound > add

then type in url

in your settings under privacy and security click site settings then scroll down to autoplay and block it, you can allow and block specific sites from there too. (i'm on brave browser a chromium alternative settings/location may be different on chrome)

There is also an add-on for Chrome called AutoplayStopper that makes this easy to toggle on/off on demand. It's not that it does anything that hasn't been mentioned, but it gives you a button to enable/disable on the Chrome controls bar to the right of the omnibar.
