You can easily customize notification sounds for a text message, email, or system notification on your Galaxy phone. You can also set notification sounds with downloaded music files. Follow the guide below to customize notification sounds for your apps.
To use a music file as a notification sound, it must be stored in the Notification folder in the internal storage on your phone. Download and move the music files you want to use to the Notification folder in the internal storage by following the steps below.
Volume: Set the volume level for call ringtones, notifications, media, and system sounds. To find this, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel, and then tap the Settings icon. Tap Sounds and vibration, and then tap Volume. Then, drag the sliders for each sound type.
Ringtone: Customize your call ringtone by choosing from preset sounds or adding your own. To find this, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel, and then tap the Settings icon. Tap Sounds and vibration, and then tap Ringtone. You can also assign ringtones to specific contacts by opening the Contacts app, then tapping a contact, and then tapping Edit. Tap View more, and then tap Ringtone. Now just tap a ringtone to hear a preview and select it, or tap Add (the plus sign) to use an audio file as a ringtone.
Notification sound: Choose a preset sound for all notification alerts. To find this, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel, and then tap the Settings icon. Tap Sounds and vibration, and then tap Notification sound. Tap a sound to hear a preview and select it.
Notification pop-up style: Prioritize and streamline app alerts by changing which apps send notifications and how notifications alert you. To find this, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel, and then tap the Settings icon. Tap Notifications, and then select a pop-up style. You can choose Brief or Detailed, and then customize the notifications as desired.
Recently sent notifications: View a list of apps that have sent notifications. To find this, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel, and then tap the Settings icon. Tap Notifications, and then tap your desired option under Recently sent. You can also tap More to expand the list. From here, you can customize the notification settings as needed.
Separate app sound: Choose to have an app play media sounds on a Bluetooth speaker or headset that is separate from the other sounds (like notifications). To find this, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel, and then tap the Settings icon. Tap Sounds and vibration, and then tap Separate app sound. Tap Turn on now to enable Separate app sound, and then set the options for App and Audio device.
Do not disturb: Do not disturb allows you to block sounds and notifications while this mode is turned on. You can also specify exceptions for people, apps, and alarms, and set a schedule for recurring events like sleep or meetings. To find this, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel, and then tap the Settings icon. Tap Notifications, and then tap Do not disturb. You can configure settings for Do not disturb, For how long, Sleeping, Add schedule, Calls, messages and conversations, Alarms and sounds, Apps, and Hide notifications.

You can configure settings for Show notification icons, Show battery percentage, Notification history, Conversations, Floating notifications, Suggest actions and replies for notifications, Show snooze button, Notification reminders, App icon badges, and Wireless Emergency Alerts.
I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to change the Message notification sound. I've found many articles and forum messages that describe how to change the setting but apparently they have recently changed things as the options are not what is described.
Now, I don't mean picking the sound I like from their list of pre-loaded sounds, like every help guide Google can find assumes I mean. I mean actually uploading a new sound to the phone and making it available for notifications, just like you can do with ring tones and alarm sounds.
This may seem like a really trivial problem, but it's causing me a lot of issues knowing which incoming texts I need to pay attention to immediately, and which I can ignore until later. So, if anyone knows how to implement properly custom notification sounds (or if it's completely impossible), please let me know!
It's good to hear that you're enjoying the new ish galaxy s9. I was able to add custom notification tones by opening my files/internal storage and copying media files into the notification folder. As long as the file format is supported it works great.
I should have mentioned that once you copy the media files into the notification folder they will be added to the default list that we use when setting up custom tones per conversation in the messages app.
I see many community members have suggested that feature be brought back. I think the update to Android 9.0 changed so many things that it was almost impossible to get it to work the way we want it to so they created the best solution at the time so that we would at least have some way of setting custom notification tones for our contacts. I think we need someone with better knowledge than I have to help us with this one.
This was marked as resolved but it is NOT. I have no way to associate people/events and select notification tones. Right now 9+ is a step back from my S6. This was critical to my 3000 texts a mont . Keeping my S6 until it's fixed.
Open MyFiles and select internal storage (will not work if you select audio category), find your file(s) you wish to use as custom notifications and hold down (long press), when options appear at bottom-select move and then move to notifications folder. This will populate your custom tones in with default tones.
I don't know how old the above posts or solution are but with updated S9 as of Jan 2020 when I copy an mp3 file into notification folder it does not appear among the list of default sounds. Seems S9 now limits sounds to only default sounds? Or how can I do it?
Generally, you can change notification sounds for a particular app in the settings in the app itself, or going through the phone's settings--I've seen the option located in sounds, notifications, and under apps (I'm pretty sure most phones that I've done this on had multiple directions you could come at it from), in the past.
If you click on "in-app notification settings," it takes you to the app settings (pic 3)..... But clicking on notifications takes you right back to the phone's settings: apps:messages:notifications (pic 2).
I am having this issue where suddenly my phone stopped giving me notification sounds or system sounds. This spans across all apps. No text sounds no keyboard clicks or even sounds for unlocking. It will vibrate though. Talked to Samsung support and they connected and tried wiping app settings and more. Tried booting to the bootloader wiped cache factory reset mounted system and repaired apps. After all that notification sounds still didn't work. I set up my phone fresh and checked and they did not. What's strange is if you go into volume and adjust the ring tone it will start playing the ring tone. If you touch the notification volume slider while the ringtone is playing you will hear one chime for the notification but if you move it again when the ring tone is not playing it does not make a noise. I can only guess this is some sort of bug in the last update.
All smart a comments aside. Yes my volume is all the way up alerts are set it's not on silent or do not disturb. The sounds also randomly come back for a second or two on a rare occasion and then stop again. My keyboard clicks were working for one message then after stopped again
Small update. In the process of testing I found that if i Connect my Galaxy Buds plus I can hear the notification beeps boops and clicks through the buds. If I disconnect or tell smart things to use the phones speaker it will no longer play the sounds
Yes its on One UI 3.0 least i believe so One UI Home shows version12.1.01.15. Everything is fully updated. All apps have notifications enabled but it isnt even isolated to just the apps. If I go in the volume menu or into notifications where it would normally preview the notification when you click on it. Even that does not work.
One other thing it seems is if any other audio is currently playing I will hear the notifications. For example if I launch pandora and its playing music I will hear any and all text messages beeps boops clicks. Soon as I stop playing music I am not longer able to hear any system sounds or notification sounds.
Sound Notifications help you know what happens in your home. When Sound Notifications are on, your phone will always check for sounds you want notifications about, like when a smoke alarm beeps or a doorbell rings.
On my previous phones I have been able to have different sounds for text messages, life 360 alerts, messenger and many other apps. I have not been able to figure out how to do that on the Galaxy A52. Right now every notification has the same sound and it's making me crazy. Please help.
