Windows 10 - Disable Annoying Notification Sounds
Windows 10 - Disable Annoying Notification Sounds.
On Windows 10, the notifications system is now an essential feature that allows you to keep you from missing important events happening in your digital world, as well as to maintain you informed about any system events that may require your attention. However, it can be distracting having to hear a chime every time you receive a new email, web update, connect a new device, etc.
Notifications in Windows have evolved over time, and Windows 10 further expanded the whole notification system. Notifications now slide out along the bottom right of your screen and each is accompanied by a chime, which can be irksome whenever files are added to your Dropbox or you plug in a new device.
On Windows 10, notifications keep you in the loop about things happening around your digital life, and they also alert you of anything in your system that may require your attention. However, each banner that slides out in the bottom-right corner also includes a sound, which can quickly get annoying.
If you're constantly getting notifications and muting the system volume or disabling notifications completely is not the solution, Windows 10 includes at least two ways to turn off the sound while still being able to see toast notifications.
Windows 10 has a feature that provides notifications for different apps called “Toast Notifications”. The notifications slide out in the lower-right corner of the screen above the taskbar and are accompanied by a chime. But sometimes you don’t want to be startled by that noise, either at home or the office.
Of course, you could always adjust the settings for each app, but if you want to turn off the sound for all notifications, it can take a lot of unnecessary steps. Fortunately, Windows 10 introduces a new option to turn off sound for all notifications without the need to disable the feature entirely or dig into the settings for each app individually.
