"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.
There are many menu options I don't see in your list. Not sure why. I'm part of an organization, would that matter? For instance, there is no "Manage account" option when I select my profile picture. Nor is there a "Notification Style combo box". I can't see anything comparable in the "Notifications and activity" tab that I have.
When I try to change settings in Windows system, there is no option to change the sound in the Teams app. I have Windows 11.
I don't have the link to where I found this, and it's not my idea but I have speakers plugged in to a headphone socket so I have set the speakers to be the default communication device and the internal speakers to be the default device (set in the Sound Control Panel) and muted the internal speakers. The ping from chat plays on the internal speaker, and the ringtone for an actual call plays on the external speakers. This doesn't stop other things playing sound - the usual exciting corporate training videos or youtube etc play through the speakers. I think you can do the same with a headset. Not a perfect solution but better than the infernal ping ping ping all day.
I am genuinely curious. Developers, testing new software, debugging things. Seems like a PC oriented job, right?
But more importantly: Both Mac and PC users experience the same baloney with the teams sound. We shall not suffer this injustice silently!
:p
