Detect if user has muted tab?

Chrome allows users to mute tabs, simply by right-clicking them and hitting Mute Tab. What I'm wondering is if there's a way to detect when a user has muted the tab.

To clarify, I'm wondering if there's a way for a website to detect when I've muted their tab.

I realize this is an old question, but for anyone who may stumble upon this question in the future, according to Mozilla, it is possible to detect if a tab is muted on most web browsers using javascript APIs, if you are able to use install a browser exxtension.

This is not possible for JavaScript on websites.

But, browser extensions can detect it using the Tabs API.

No, this is not possible in Google Chrome.

Such events can be recorded using low-level APIs expoosed by Chrome but it cannot be done via any of the Web APIs available.
