How to turn off custom sound when plugging in charger samsung?

Samsung phones are designed to play a sound when plugged in to charge. This “charging sound” acts as an audio confirmation that the phone is charging properly. The sound is a short melody that repeats every few seconds while the phone is plugging in and charging. Many Samsung phone owners find this sound helpful as an indicator that their phone is charging. However, some users may find the repetitive charging sound disruptive or unnecessary once they know their phone is charging correctly. This guide will explain how to turn off or customize the Samsung charging sound using the built-in sound settings.

Locate Sound Settings

The first step to turn off the custom charging sound on your Samsung phone is to locate the Sound settings menu. To open the Settings app on a Samsung device:

Swipe up on the Home screen or tap the Apps icon, then find and tap the Settings app icon (a gear symbol). You can also pull down the notification shade and tap the gear icon in the top right corner to open Settings.

Once inside the Settings menu, we need to navigate to the Sound settings next.

According to Digital Citizen, you can quickly search for Sound settings from the Settings menu on a Samsung phone. At the top of the Settings menu, tap the Search icon (magnifying glass) to open the search bar. Type in “Sound” and select Sound settings from the results.

Open Sound Settings

To open the Sound settings menu on your Samsung Galaxy device, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your home screen or app drawer. You can also access it by pulling down the notification shade and tapping the gear icon.

2. Scroll down and tap “Sounds and vibration.” This is where you can control all the audio and haptic feedback settings on your device.

According to Samsung’s own support article here, the Sounds and vibration menu is where you can toggle features like vibrate, mute, hearing enhancements, and more. This is the area we need to access to turn off the charging notification sound.

Locate Charging Sound

To locate the charging sound settings on a Samsung Galaxy device, open the Sounds and Vibration menu in Settings. Here, scroll down and select the System section (Samsung Support, 2022).

This will open all the system sound options, including sounds for touch interactions, screen lock/unlock, charging, dialing keypads, and more. Look for the Charging option to customize or disable the charging sound.

Turn Off Charging Sound

Once you have the Sound settings open, you can easily turn off the charging sound:

  1. Scroll down and tap on Charging sound.
  2. Toggle the switch off next to Charging sound to disable it.

Toggling this switch off will prevent your Samsung Galaxy phone from playing the charging sound when you plug in the charger.

You can always toggle it back on if you change your mind later. The charging sound will be disabled as long as the switch remains in the off position.

Alternative Method: Using Sound Assistant App

There is another way to customize or turn off the charging sound on Samsung Galaxy devices by using the Sound Assistant app. Sound Assistant is made by Samsung and available for download from the Galaxy Store.

To use Sound Assistant to control the charging sound:

  1. Download and install the Sound Assistant app if you don’t already have it.
  2. Open Sound Assistant and grant it permission to access notifications.
  3. Go to the Notifications section in the app.
  4. Find Charging Sound and tap on it.
  5. Toggle off the switch next to Charging Sound to disable it completely.
  6. You can also customize the sound by tapping on Charging Sound and selecting a different audio file.

Sound Assistant gives you more advanced controls over all system sounds on your Samsung Galaxy. Disabling the charging sound specifically may be easier through the built-in Sound settings, but Sound Assistant offers additional customization options.

Turn Off All Sounds

If you want to mute all sounds on your Samsung device, not just the charging sound, you can use a feature called “Mute all sounds”. This will mute ringtones, notifications, system sounds and more. According to Samsung’s support page (source), here’s how to turn it on and off:

1. Open Settings and go to Accessibility.

2. Tap on Hearing Enhancements.

3. Turn on “Mute all sounds” by tapping the switch.

This will mute all sounds until you manually turn it off. To turn it back off, simply follow the same steps and tap the switch again to disable it.

The “Mute all sounds” feature is useful if you want to mute everything at once without changing individual volume sliders. Just keep in mind it mutes all system sounds and notifications, not just charging noises.

Customize Charging Sound

You can select a different sound effect for when your Samsung device is charging. To do this:

1. Open the Settings app and go to Sounds and vibration > System sounds and vibration > Charging sound.

2. Tap on Charging sound to open the menu.

3. Select from the various charging sound options like Galaxy, Echo, Basic bell, or create your own custom sound.

4. Tap Apply to set your new charging sound.

Now when you plug in your charger, you’ll hear your selected custom sound instead of the default. You can choose unique sounds to personalize your device.

Troubleshooting

If you are unable to turn off the charging sound on your Samsung device, try the following solutions:

Check that the sound settings are not set to mute – Go to Settings > Sounds and vibration and make sure that Volume and Media volume are not muted.

Restart your device – Sometimes a simple restart can resolve minor software glitches that may be preventing you from turning off the charging sound.

Update your device software – Make sure you are running the latest software version. Go to Settings > Software update to check for and install any available updates.

Clear app cache – Go to Settings > Apps, select the Sound settings app, tap Storage, and then Clear Cache. This may fix issues caused by corrupted temporary data.

Reset app preferences – Go to Settings > Apps > Sound settings > Storage > Manage space > Reset app preferences. This resets the app to default settings.

Try safe mode – Restart your phone in safe mode by pressing and holding the power button and tapping Safe Mode. In safe mode, only default apps and services run. If the issue persists in safe mode, it’s likely a hardware problem.

Factory reset – As a last resort, back up your data and reset your device to factory default settings. Go to Settings > General management > Reset > Factory data reset. This will erase all data but should resolve any software issues.

If none of these steps work, you may need to contact Samsung support for hardware troubleshooting or repair.
