Notification Sounds:
Look for the option labeled ‘Notification sound’ or ‘Default notification sound.’ Tap on it.
Choose Your Sound:
A list of available sounds will appear. You can preview them by tapping on each option. Once you find the sound you prefer, select it.
App-Specific Notifications (Optional):
If you’re looking to change sounds for specific apps (like WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.), go back to your settings and navigate to the ‘Apps’ section.
Select the App:
Find and tap on the app for which you want to change the notification sound.

Tips:
Custom Sounds: You can usually add your custom alert tones! Many file managers allow you to move sounds to the appropriate directory.
App Permissions: Ensure the app has the necessary permissions to send notifications; otherwise, you might miss important alerts!
Different Devices: Keep in mind that the options might slightly vary based on the Android version or the device brand. If you find any discrepancies, just search for your specific device model’s user manual.

Great topic! Changing notification sounds can really enhance your experience. Start by going to your app settings, and then notifications to customize each app’s sound.
Most messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram allow you to change notification tones per chat, which is super handy! You can also use your own sounds if you want something personal.
It’s also good to check your system settings to ensure your app sounds work as intended. Sometimes the overall sound settings can conflict with app-specific notifications.
I think we can all agree that there’s nothing worse than a sound that makes you jump out of your seat! But having fun sounds can add a bit of joy, too.
Great topic! To change notification sounds on Android, go to Settings > Apps > [Select App] > Notifications > Sound. You can choose different sounds from there!
