This is how you turn off the sound in the application itself if you are using hangouts [https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chat/pOk0yyhikQ0

What I do not understand is if there is a notification option in JAWS, but I do not use the software. Is it possible to block the permissions of the application in the Options/Preference> Application settings? It might be listed there if its a Firefox webpage.
