It\u2019s primarily designed to help those who are hard of hearing so that they stay aware of their surroundings. But here\u2019s the cool part. Even if your hearing is perfectly fine, you\u2019ll actually want to use this accessibility feature.<\/p>\n<p>Think about the moments when you are totally lost in a game, deep into your favorite music, or simply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/signs-you-need-noise-canceling-headphones\/\" target=\"_blank\">working with noise-canceling headphones on<\/a>. In those situations, your phone can still keep track of those important sounds you might not notice and gives you a notification like a tap on the shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"setting-up-the-sound-notifications-feature-is-easy\">\n                        Setting up the Sound Notifications feature is easy<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"set-it-and-forget-it\">\n            Set it and forget it<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>Setting up the Sound Notifications feature only takes a few taps. You can find the feature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/useful-android-accessibility-tools-for-everyone\/\" target=\"_blank\">inside Android\u2019s accessibility menu<\/a>. Open the Settings app and head to <strong>Accessibility &gt; Hearing enhancements &gt; Sound Notifications<\/strong>. Turn it on, and your phone will start listening for sounds in the background.<\/p>\n<section class=\"emaki-custom-block emaki-custom-note\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<div class=\"emaki-custom note\" id=\"custom_block_11\">\n<div class=\"custom_block-content note\">\n<p>If you can\u2019t find the Sound Notifications feature on your phone, download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/7251228\/type\/dlg\/sid\/UUmuoUeUpU2039239\/https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.audio.hearing.visualization.accessibility.scribe\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"norewrite noskim\">Live Transcribe &amp; Notifications<\/a> app from the Play Store and enable the feature from there. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>By default, this feature alerts you of several important sounds, like smoke alarms, fire alarms, sirens, a baby crying, a dog barking, someone knocking on the door, doorbell ringing, appliance beeps, landline phone ringing, and even running water. If that sounds like a bit too much, you can set your preferences. <\/p>\n<p>Tap <strong>Edit sound types<\/strong> and use the toggles to set which sounds you want to be notified about. That way, you won\u2019t get interrupted every time the neighbour\u2019s dog barks, which matters if you live in a busy area like I do. Once you\u2019re all set up, you can tap the icon in the top left corner to see a demo of how the feature works. <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"get-alerts-for-almost-any-sound-around-you\">\n                        Get alerts for almost any sound around you<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"custom-alerts-for-the-sounds-you-care-about\">\n            Custom alerts for the sounds you care about<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>The Sound Notifications feature also keeps a log of the sounds it hears. This is useful if you are ever away from your phone and want to check what happened. You can even save certain sounds and give them unique names. This way, you can differentiate things like your washing machine&#8217;s end-of-cycle beep from your microwave\u2019s timer tone.<\/p>\n<p>And it gets better. You are not limited to the preset list of sounds this feature recognizes. You can teach your phone to listen for sounds that are unique to your surroundings. Perhaps your appliance has a tone that\u2019s different and not recognized by default, or you want to be notified every time the garage door closes. Simply record the sound once, and your phone will keep an ear out for it from then on.<\/p>\n<p>In the Sound Notifications menu, tap the <strong>gear icon<\/strong> in the top right corner and select <strong>Custom sounds<\/strong>. Now, tap <strong>Add sound<\/strong> and hit <strong>Record<\/strong>. You\u2019ll need to capture the sound in a 20-seconds audio clip. Of course, the clearer the recording, the better your phone will be at recognizing the sound later.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"enhance-sound-quality-of-voice-recordings-on-android\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/android-phone-showing-voice-recorder-app-with-microphone-and-record-icons-on-either-side.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/android-phone-showing-voice-recorder-app-with-microphone-and-record-icons-on-either-side.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"440\" height=\"364\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Android phone showing voice recorder app with microphone and Record icons on either side\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/android-phone-showing-voice-recorder-app-with-microphone-and-record-icons-on-either-side.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=182&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/android-phone-showing-voice-recorder-app-with-microphone-and-record-icons-on-either-side.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=182&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/enhance-sound-quality-of-voice-recordings-on-android\/\" title=\"How to Enhance the Sound Quality of Your Voice Recordings on Android\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tHow to Enhance the Sound Quality of Your Voice Recordings on Android<br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Professional audio recordings right on your phone.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"customize-how-you-receive-sound-notifications-on-android\">\n                        Customize how you receive Sound Notifications on Android<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"stay-aware-your-way\">\n            Stay aware your way<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"valnet-gallery images-count-3\">\n<div class=\"article__gallery \">\n<div class=\"gallery__images grid_view portrait-only grid-layout-3 \">\n<div class=\"gallery__images__item gallery-3-images-1900315870\" data-img-unique-id=\"3-1700226782\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/12\/sound-notifications-menu-on-phone.jpg\" data-img-class=\"gallery-3-images-1900315870\" data-gallery-modal-id=\"gallery-modal-3-1584439285\" data-gallery-slides-container-id=\"gallery-modal-3-slides-container-293246161\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<div class=\"body-img portrait \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-gallery-thumbnail-img\" style=\"padding-bottom:205%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/12\/sound-notifications-menu-on-phone.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/12\/sound-notifications-menu-on-phone.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=240&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/12\/sound-notifications-menu-on-phone.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=240&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/12\/sound-notifications-menu-on-phone.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=400&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/12\/sound-notifications-menu-on-phone.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=400&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/12\/sound-notifications-menu-on-phone.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/12\/sound-notifications-menu-on-phone.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"960\" height=\"1968\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sound notifications menu on phone\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/12\/sound-notifications-menu-on-phone.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"img-brightness-opt-out\"\/><\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">Screenshot by Pankil Shah &#8212;
