I was using Chrome.
Is the sound through your speakers OK?
I've been doing some research, and the issue with Nexus 7 speakers goes back a year. An internal mesh can shift and then low frequencies cause a buzz. An earlier update to Android apparently changed the EQ slightly to remove these frequencies to mitigate this problem on devices where the speaker assembly had shifted.
My current guess is that my N7 had got the speaker problem, but that the 4.4 update doesn't have this EQ fix, so it seemed to appear suddenly after the update.
I've had a reply from Google Support but they just gave me instructions on how to set my ringtone, etc. I sometimes wonder if support staff ever actually read the issues first time round, or whether some automated bot sends out a reply on the first pass based on keyword recognition, and then human beings only deal with the subsequent follow-ups.
