"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.
I agree!!! Who made the decision to allow one person or a small number of people to decide what sound to play. Put the notification sound BACK TO WHAT IT WAS!!!! STOP MESSING WITH TEAMS!!!!
The new Teams sound, as of March 28, 2023, IS AWFUL! It is a disturbing sound.
I have tried the fixes above, to no avail; I cannot find the Teams notification sound anywhere.Please advise!! Why does Microsoft KEEP MESSING WITH TEAMS?!?!?!
Yes. This new sound is utterly horrible and distracting.
This kinda of thing is the stuff we would fire people for.
Microsoft really REALLY needs to update teams so that we have the ability to change the actual sound of the ping notification. It's legitimately causing PTSD. I know that sounds dramatic but having the option to at least change the "ringtone" would be extremely helpful.
Holy Cow , found this thread assuming I could just replace the file and change the Teams notification sound , I 100% am with this guy having PTSD sounds when the notification goes off and would be huge if could have my own sound or at least choices of something different.
It's awful to have the system notification sounds be the same sounds for anything Teams related. When I get a message on Teams, I shouldn't get the same notification sound as my operating system makes when it actually needs to get my attention i.e. for a software update. I am a Mac and iOS user and the same sound my phone makes for a text message (Tri-tone) is the same sound Team makes whenever someone messages me all day. This started happening when I updated to the new Microsoft Teams.
There should at least be an option to use system notification sounds, default Microsoft sounds for choose your own sound for certain notification types.
