I recommend you keep going through the list of Program Events and replace as you see fit. So far, we’ve got rid of the Asterisk sound, which is used surprisingly often in Windows. Get rid of more Windows notifications sounds Note that you can even upload your own sounds should you wish, but that goes beyond the remit of this tutorial. Remember to press Apply when you’ve found a sound you’re happy with. I prefer “ding” or “tada”, but you can test each one using – you guessed it – the helpful Test button. Click on this and then click the drop-down arrow next to “Windows Background”.Īs you can see from the screenshot below, there is a long list of potential sounds to choose. It looks like this:Ĭlick on the Sounds tab and you’ll see that the very first option is called Asterisk. Press Enter and the Sound dialog box, part of the Windows Control panel, will appear. You’re welcome.įirst, type “sound” into your Windows search bar. So here’s how to change the Windows notification sound. I had to find a way to get rid of it forever. Every time I complete a find-and-replace command in Word, every time I’m asked if I really want to replace an existing file, it goes “ brrngg“. Problem solved.I hate the default Windows notification sound. Now your Windows 10 will still be able to receive all the notification, but it will be silent and quiet. Select the option, then under which sound it makes change the Windows Notify System Generic to (none). Prior writing this post, I’ve seen some previous preview build had this option but some how this is removed? Any how, if you want to mute the notification sound there is still a way to do this even if Microsoft doesn’t provide the option to mute.įind the Sounds tab > scroll down to the Program Events and find Notification. Why Not A Mute Notification Option, Microsoft ? The option is either turn the notification completely off or have the notification come in along with the sound. This is extremely troublesome and unintuitive, especially if you have an app spamming you by constantly sending notification updates. At least the latest version of Windows 10 that I’m running on build 10586, version 1511, it doesn’t offer any option in the new Settings app to turn off notification sound. Windows 10, has NO mute option on the new Notification tray. Microsoft has done a great job in delivering all the new features, but there is just one thing that’s annoying me.
