How To Add Custom Notification Sounds On Android

Let's add a custom notification sound on Android in this quick and easy guide.
Android allows you to add new custom notification sounds but you have to go through a quick workaround to do it. In this video, I walk you through the steps to access my files and add a folder where you can add songs or audio clips to use as a notification sound. The nice thing is you can use these different custom notification sounds depending on what type of notification you get. Anything from a call to a text to a new email you can have a separate sound. I use this for a message alert sound that is different from the rest. This works for any Android device from Samsung to Huawei in 2021.
I hope this video helped solve your problem. App still not working? If so, drop your question in a comment below!

[@maryannec6080]

Yes!

[@justanothertestsubject]

🙌🙌🙌 thank you!! i have been trying to figure this out for ... an embarrassingly far too long time. this is the first video i have found that actually works! thank you!!

[@imdavidkeith]

Older video, but I appreciate it. Never had a problem before with my Ringtone Maker app downloading notifications to my Galaxy phone, but just bought the new Galaxy flip 5 and wouldn’t work. Worked with ringtones but not notifications. Followed your instructions and worked perfectly for me.👍🏻👍🏻

[@thecrazymarvelgirl4287]

I wanted to set Thor's Mjolnir swing sound as my notification sound...this helped a lot..thanks man❤❤

[@Arkie407]

Just what I needed - simple, direct, & illustrated. This old video earned you a new sub! 🤛😎

[@LaAmericanaMasMexicana]

Thank you so much for this super easy and precise how-to!!!! I finally added an mp3 I wanted to use as a notification! 😁

[@maryannec6080]

I have been trying to figure this out. Thank you from New Zealand : )

[@nintony2994]

"Go to "Notifications" in your phone"
Thats ALL I needed to know thank you! This whole time I kept saving my custom notif sounds to "Ringtones" lmao

[@janessa1448]

I just bought a new Galaxy Z Flip and this trick still works! Thank you so much!

[@rubengarcia3615]

Thank You so much, this worked perfectly for me, after no luck on my own - I found your video and 60 seconds later WALA !! Thanks again , be well and stay safe

[@leacebee5892]

Thank you so much for this awesome Quick Easy demo.
Just an FYI to others - your copied sound file may not show just the title, like for me I downloaded a rooster crowing but the file was a longer file name so just a heads up.
I can't say enough how much I appreciate tutorials like this that don't waste 1st 5 mins talking about the issue.
Thank you so much

Hey Trevor, loved your video. Straightforward and easy to understand. I have a Razr + 2023. Some of my music files in the MP3 music player app don’t have album art assigned to them. I was told to simply add the art to the music folder. How do I do that? Please help and explain. Thank you sir.

[@EshwarNarmada]

[@HektorBandimar]

Hi, useful video, thanks. There was one part of it I didn't understand, that is, were do you download your notification sounds from to place in the folder?

[@jimbyrdiii1503]

I was the kid in class who always needed "extra assistance" 😶‍🌫️ which is why I'm unable to add any custom notifications to my phone.

[@brigittevasquez]

RESOLVED MY PROBLEM!!! I had my old phone gone and was used to the notification sound so I was frustrated when I can't apply the old notification sound to my new phone. This video made my old notification sound back to my new phone!! Thank you so much!!!

[@bze06fishinbwai63]

Im having the same problem, can you please share how you did it? Thanks

[@stryper42]

Thax, very helpful 🙃

[@EliteTitanSpeakermanRobloxYT]

THANKS I REALLY WANTED TO PUT IT THANKS IT WORKS!!!!

[@PriestOfTheUnholy.]

thankyou , this worked

[@anetteth]

YES!!! THANKS!!! Now HAVE Rammstein intro to Angst for Notifications! YES!!!

[@rafterscott]

Hey huge thanks but one tiny thing to add since I ran into a hiccup as the Notifications folder didn't show but already existed (not allowed me to create the folder). The workaround: Take the sound/sounds you want to move, and search for Notifications. It didn't display the folder but it did find it via search.

[@wolf950xx3]

You can also tap on the drop-down that says "Essentials" and click on "All" and it will show all the folders including the Notifications folder.

[@VaciliNikoMavich]

Thank you, that helped a lot ^_^

[@jaymonies641]

Sweet! It worked for me!

[@66lwmorgan]

How much trouble would it be to add the person's name instead of a sound when they message you? In other words, when someone texts me my phone says the person's name instead of a custom sound. Thank you
