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.

Please have sound notifications activated for private chats and team chats. It will be good to have options to choose a sound, like we have for ring tones in a cell phone. The notifications are not too helpful, as its the option of banner (I don't want it popping up when my screen is shared) , email (it gets lots ) and feed (all the activity is there and in 2 months the feed is becoming too full)

I must be in the minority here. I want a way to change the "Default Bing" because it is way too loud and obnoxious! I want to change it to a different tone all together because the current tone startles me if I am reading something in a spreadsheet and am deep in thought.

I also have a MacBook Pro and no sound notification is coming from the application that was downloaded. the sounds and camera works fine during a meeting, just no notification sounds at all within the app for OSX. Please fix this, or we must go back to using Slack.

What is the current status? I would like to have individual sound settings for calls / messages. I want to turn sound notifications OFF and leave the call sound on. Why is it bundled?

I cant hear the notification sound at max 100% volume! this is insane and impossible to do work. Fix this. Add a volume adjustment setting and a setting to pick different sounds!

Please allow us to customize it. The sound is awful.

Any status on this? Last Admin update was in February for something to be released in that quarter. It's almost Q3.

Different people have different hearing capabilities. I have several users that cannot physically hear the default notification sound due to the low frequency and have no way to change it. This is a serious oversight on the developers part.

Yes, Please, please, please update the notification sounds, even make them customizable so I can know my notification from my co-workers. Also I need to know if it is a Chat which has priority, vs a Team or Activity notification, which I can address later. Such a productivity killer to always be reacting to a nothing post in a Team I don't care about, but am forced to be on.

Microsoft Teams Notification Sound is like Gill Bates' vaccine, you dont have a choice.

YES YES YES!!! There should be a way for the user to set sounds/banners/etc individually for different incoming data. (calls/messages/mentions/etc)
It is very frustrating to be working at my desk, away from my computer, and not know when someone is trying to contact me.
The so-called "notification" that Teams now uses is so quiet that it is barely noticeable. Any background noise at all cancels out the sound of the notification.
Please allow more user options so we can customize the notifications to our individual needs?? -

I would like to have an option to enable sound notification BUT not the banners in TEAMS.

In fact what I'm in the search of is to enable sound notification BUT not the banners. It was the default in Skype for Business, I would hve consider it obvious for Teams chat..

Zoom lets us change this why can we not do it in Teams? Get with the times!

Sounds are great, but when is the last time you were in an office where everyone's ring tone or desk phone sounded the same?
Yet Teams does just that. Why? Your in a hallway discussion with a group pf folks, and the teams chime goes off, and there is a scramble to figure out who is getting a "call".

Agreed with the additional notification options. Specifically, there should be a sound notification option when you're tracking someones "status" and it changes. Skype had this functionality.

Sound, but no banner. The banner pops up right where people reply. It is horribly annoying.
There are options to manipulate banners/sounds/etc in Windows 10 Notification & Actions, but not for MS Teams?

Why do you not allow us to configure the alert sound we want? Total BS!

It would be appreciated if you would enable chat sounds with no banner notifications.
