Smartphones have become an important part of our life and having a smartphone means getting continuous notifications from many different apps, popping up alerts about messages, emails, replies, and more. it can be personal or professional which sometimes annoys us so much.
Thanks to Samsung, with One UI 4.0, Samsung has not only redesigned Quick Panel with more compact notifications and an improved layout, but it also provides users to customize their phone’s notification sound. There is also a separation between silent notifications and alert notifications, making it easy for you to triage notifications when they arrive.
Here in this article, we will see what to do to change that notification sound and how to select specific notification sounds for specific apps so that only you can hear what you want.

You will now see a list of notification sounds that you can set. Choose one and all your notifications will play with that sound. That’s all you have to do.
Set up a customized notification for the personal app
Normal notification sounds are pleasing, but most people prefer different notification sounds to tell which app is sending the alert but do not like the native sound that the app itself does. Fortunately, you can usually change the Notifications app through the app to get the exact sounds you want. Here’s what to do.
