Improve audio notifications
VOLUME: The sound is too low!! Most people don't think it's even on. Let us customize the sound level, please.
UNIQUE SOUNDS FOR CALLS VS CHATS/MESSAGES: Right now sounds are all or nothing. This is not good. For example, you may want to have sound for Calls but not for chat or messages. There is a difference when you need to hear that someone is calling you – versus getting the constant bing/bing/bing on message chat.
UNIQUE SOUND FOR PRIVATE CHAT: It would be nice to have different sounds for private chat and notifications, so that its easy to know what's coming in without having to look at it.

The team has updated the default sound for Teams notifications so it is more noticeable. We are in final testing, with a goal to release the new sound by the end of this quarter.

Skype for Business allowed sound customization based on incoming IM, calls, replies, etc. all through the Sound Control Panel. I chose loud an obnoxious sounds, but I was notified. With MS Teams lack of sound configuration, for me this is an Accessibility issue, reducing my timely response.

Please make the chat notification more noticeable. Customizable sound and popup would be great!!! This has got to be one of the worst interfaces I have seen in years.

Please offer a choice to have sound notifications without banners. Frustrating to have every chat show up on my screen when I'm presenting on any other application; Zoom, Slack, (even) Skype, etc.

Would love to be able to assign different sounds to different Teams. Simply selecting yes/no notification isn't as helpful.

For the love of all things logical, please allow us to disable the banners but still keep the notification sound. Kind of like an older app called "Skype" where you hear a sound and the icon on the taskbar just flashes. It allows for more privacy without balloons or banners taking up the screen for the world to see.

I agree, this annoying "bing" sound for notifications has got to be changable. Either I have no sound or the most annoying sound. For now, I just choose no sound b/c I just get MAD when I hear this stupid bing sound.

Provide us the option to toggle sound and banner separately. Although banner triggering sound makes sense in mobile environment, on desktop the banner pop-ups can get annoying in a chat channel with 20+ individuals. Sound-only option would allow me to pay attention for messages I may need to read, but would not disrupt my work by blocking a large portion of my screen.

The notification options are very limited. Allow for a sound notification without a pop up showing the message content. This is a critical feature. A pop up is acceptable, however the user should be able to decide if the message content is displayed or not.

I want to be able to get banner with only sound notification but no message previews. Message previews are visible to others as well - which we don't want always. That means - banners without message preview so that we still have notification sound. I think this is a very important feature which is missing and very much required.

Please return to the old sound, or ensure it is available. The old one was a nice notification. The new one is so loud and obnoxious that I have to turn it off! The other available sounds are all loud and obnoxious. You took the one good one away.

The number one productivity kill for me is the constant sound notifications on chat messages while I'm trying to finishing a train of thought or research what's being asked in chat. Especially for people that can't type a complete sentence in chat but shotgun responses rapid fire. Being able to have granular control over sound in notifications would be a MOST welcome feature. Seeing a number in the task tray icon is enough for me to know messages are waiting.

Please give us the option to modify the notification sound - some of us are away from our PC's and would like the option to pick something more annoying.
