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.

I agree, I want the sounds, but not the banner. Please make this update.

This case was originally created for the sound being too low. Now you've updated it, and it's much too loud. Why not just make it configurable (or customizable)? It's driving me nuts.

I want the sounds, but don't want the banner... Can you please make it so they're independant functions?

as someone with problems hearing, the blob sound need to go.. or at least let us choose the tone... you young millennial working at MS trying to make everything cool and hip need to stop, lets go back to the way things were when every option is listed out and stop with this we need a new UI because it looks cool.

We have some hard of hearing individuals in our office who can't see either and would like a much louder sound and custom sounds. I would also like to be able to specify sounds based on person or group.

My wife is using teams as well now and it is annoying we can't understand which client got the message!

This would be much appreciated. I do not know when I am receiving notifications. It makes it almost unusable unless I have the teams app front and center.

How can I lower the sound when receiving messages.

We don't want more sounds. Teams is incredibly annoying when it's constant beeping. I want to turn that off but also be able to be notified when an incoming call is happening.
We want to have these options for notifications:
Notification Sounds:
* All
* Calls only
* Mentions & Chat
* Off

FIX SOUNDS!!! seriously, what is so freaking hard about giving us the option to assign whatever sounds we want to whatever notifications we want. I mean we had the option in Windows 95, why can we have the options in Teams in 2020. You've back pedaled in 25 years.

The new chat message sound is making me go crazy. PLEASE give some options quickly. With everyone working from home now it's like death by a thousand 'pings.'

There is one thing about the banners that is just incredibly distracting - I would love if Microsoft teams could recognize that I am currently looking at the chat that I am getting banners for. If I specifically have a chat open, I don't need a visual queue that I have received a message, as I have that particular window open.
A sound is fine, but to have a banner pop up with every new line that is typed when I am looking at the same chat Teams is sending me notifications for is a bit unnecessary.

Notification sounds not working. First time client install. Zoom notification sounds work perfectly.

I think the public would prefer an options to select their own default sound from a preset list, as well as an option to control the volume.

It would be great to have an option to customize notification sounds, even if from a preset list. My wife and I are sharing a home office for the time being, and we both use Teams. When a notification goes off, we're both checking to see who it is.
Having the ability to distinguish between her notifications and mine when I'm not sitting in front of my computer would help a lot.

I can't hear ANY sound and neither can co workers. How do we make sure the sound is on?
