"Since Teams was introduced to us for use, the notification sound, that continuous "ding," can be changed to something more delicate or something that sounds a bit more pleasant? I have to live with the only sound notification Teams has, because Microsoft lacks imagination and forgot that not everyone who uses Teams may like the same sound, that annoying "ding" which after a few hours becomes like a hammer hitting your head."

The latest version of NEW TEAMS, lets you change the notification sound. There's not a lot to choose from, but at least we're not stuck with the default now.
Yes. This new sound is utterly horrible and distracting.
This kinda of thing is the stuff we would fire people for.
Unfortunately this no longer works. Got an update to Teams with a brand new horrible sound, and checked my sound settings only to find the original notification is still there, so it's no longer getting its sound from the same place. Is there a way to fix this update and revert the program to using the windows sound setting? I tried in Teams settings to change it to Windows settings there but all it did was change the visual pop up and put two notification sounds on top of each other.
Ditto. Absolutely hate the new Teams notification sound. The option appears to be to switch the whole system to using the windows sounds, rather than being able to adjust it in Teams. What is with the really harsh unnatural sounds overall?
How do you alter the sound in Win 10?
