All notifications in Windows play a sound by default when they appear and if you get a lot of notifications, the barrage of ‘dring’ soon starts to grate whenever you turn on your PC.
There is an
option in Windows settings to turn off audio alerts off for each program
individually. And now after the November Windows update, Windows has given an
extra option by which you can silence notification alerts for all programs in
just one click.
To turn off
all audio notification, open Windows Settings > System > Notifications
and actions.
Under
Notifications section, you’ll now see a new ‘Allow notifications to play
sounds’ box, which is ticked by default.
Scroll down
and untick the box of “Allow notifications to play sound” to mute all
notification.
Now you are
not going to hear any dring sound of notifications which working on your PC.
But if you want to hear notification alert sound from some specific program,
you can turn them on for some individual program.
To adjust
the notification setting for individual programs, scroll down and select the
relevant program. You’ll now see new preview windows for the banner and Action
Center notification styles showing you how they appear.
Here you can
also set the number of notification you want to receive in the action center
and the priority of notifications in the action center.
Action Center is the list of notification you receive on your Windows system and you
can access this from the lower right corner of your Windows system.
Also new is
the option to change settings whenever a notification appears by hovering over
it, then clicking the cog icon. A menu will now appear, allowing you to select
between opening the notification settings for that specific program, going to
the general notifications settings for all programs, or simply turning
notifications off for that program.
