Discord changed its notification sound: Here’s how to fix it

If you've been using Discord lately, you might have noticed the message notification sound has changed. It now sounds more muted with a slight metallic ring. Here's how to revert it to the old notification sound.

To change the Discord notification sound back to the one you're used to, simply restart the app. Do this by pressing CTRL + R while in the app. Once the refresh is completed, the new notification sound should be gone.

Many people have been wondering why Discord changed its notification sound and why resetting the app restores the old one. At the time of publishing this article, Discord hasn't issued an official response.

Some Reddit users speculate it could be a seasonal change for Halloween, with one user commenting, "It sounds kinda spookier." Meanwhile, another user wrote, "Definitely spooky, spooked me into muting Discord."

If you would like to turn off Discord notifications altogether, then click on the gear icon near the bottom-left of the app. This is the "Users Settings" section located close to your Discord username. Next, navigate to the "App Settings" section on the left and click on the "Notifications" option. Then, you can toggle the different Discord notifications on and off.
