"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.
This kind of used to work, except it was Instant Message Notification that you had to change to silent rather than Notification. Now my Instant Message Notification is still set to silent, but the instant messages still keep pinging. and some people are SO annoying with their 6 or 7 messages in a row instead of typing everything they want to say and sending one message.
I've looked at Notification sound and that's not the noise it makes every time there's a message so that's not the setting that relates to it. Where does it get that noise from? I want to delete it.
I don't want to turn all sound off, I want to hear when there's a call. just not that persistent ping ping from messages.
I found this in another forum about this issue:
"You can't change them because they're embedded into other DLL files. Unlike older Office applications, Microsoft doesn't produce individual sound bite files anymore."
Weeeeeeee!
Well isn't that just peachy of them! I had messages silent, just phone call sounds until this week. Now I might have to mute everything. Thanks :)

On mac, you can change the "Notification Style" from Teams-default to "Mac". That switches the design of the notification to macOS and also the sound to the familiar mac-notification-sound. Which, can be changed in your mac's System settings.
Hope this makes everyones day a little better :)
