How to change or disable Yahoo Notification Sound effects?

We are here with the exact steps that will help to change or disable Yahoo Notification sound effects. Let’s move ahead with the procedures to change notification effects and later will discuss the disabling procedure for the same.

Activate Yahoo Sound Effect

It is very simple to activate ringtone effects when a new message arrives in the Inbox. You have to install “Messenger’ to access the options for the email tone. An email alert saves time that lessens the number of times which you spend while checking your inbox status. You will need to enable the “Preferences’” option to check the tone file which notifies the next incoming messages.

Method 1- Install Yahoo Messenger

Download and install the Messenger software from the official website at messenger.yahoo.com. Follow the on-screen prompts to finish the installation and enter “Yahoo.com” in the URK address bar to check the Official Mail Website. Now, sign in with the email address and password to open your mail account

Method 2- Choose Preferences

Click on the “Messenger” icon that appears on the taskbar to see the list of options. This icon will appear as a smiling emoticon and there, you have to click on “Show Yahoo! Messenger” to see the “messenger” dialog box. Now, go to the “messenger” menu to appear the option lists and click on “Preferences” to open the dialog box

Method 3- Turn The Sound Alter On

Click on the “Alerts and Sounds” in the “Category” panel of the “Yahoo Messenger Preferences” dialog box and the right panel will display the “Alerts and Sounds” section. There you have to click on the “Enable Alter sounds” and go to the option “I receive a message” in the list

Method 4- Choose Sound Effect

Click to choose the check box to “Play a sound” in the section which says “Alert me by”. There is a triangle button to check the alert. You can click on the “Browse” button to find the WAV file. The “Pick an Alert Sound” box will open with the files list that includes “flash”, “beep” and “yodel”. Click on the preferred file and click on “Open” and this dialog box will close then.

Note: You can check this sound by clicking on the triangle icon on the “Yahoo Messenger Preferences” dialog box and clicking on “Ok”. From now onwards the incoming message will activate an alert there.

Well, these are the procedures through which one can make changes in the sound to stay away from disturbing tone. But there are some users who don’t even want to have any notification and for such users, we are here with the procedures to disable it.

Customize Yahoo Sounds On Android

Don’t worry about distinguishing between multiple different sounds which you receive on the Mobile device. Use the Yahoo App to customize the sound that notifies you about the message and account which you have added to the app.

  • First of all, tap on the Profile icon and tap on Notifications
  • Now, toggle “Customize for each account” on or off depending on your preferences
  • Go to the System Settings and toggle every notification type on or off
  • Save your changes by tapping on the Back icon

By sticking with these above-given steps, you easily can disable the sound but it will not notify you of any message. If you have to receive an urgent message, then you can re-enable it anytime you need. To do so,

Turn Notification On/Off From Device Settings (Android/Apple)

On Android

  • Go to the “Settings” to unlock the Android device
  • From there, you have to tap on the “Notifications and Apps” option
  • Now, you have to tap on the “Yahoo Mail” and you will see the “Notifications” option
  • There you have to click on it and tap on “Show Notifications” to disable or enable it

On Apple

  • First of all, unlock the device and go to the Settings
  • You will need to tap on the “Notifications” option from there you have to tap on “Yahoo Mail”
  • You will see the “Allow Notifications” option and click on it to enable or disable it

Here, you are all done with the customization. Make sure to use a good network connection to make these changes in the sound.
