"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.
A year later and still no such control?
Without me doing anything, my Classic Teams app just started using a new sound to notify me that I have messages. It's no longer a quick "ping" type noise, but is now some longer sound effect and I have no clue where it's coming from. I've looked in C:\Windows\Media, but there are so many folders and files here that I have no idea what is being used. It would be nice if I could go to my Teams settings and choose the sound effects I want to use for chat messages and calls instead of whatever is assigning them now. I messaged my Teams support guy where I work and he's not aware of any changes that were made in our company environment that would have caused this so I have to believe that Microsoft is at it again. PLEASE MICROSOFT, let us choose our own sound effects like other apps allow!!!!!!!!!!!
I get confused whose teams message it is, when both me and my husband are working from home and I am away from my laptop a bit. It would have been very convenient to have a different sound to identify which one our's ping it is.
This does not work.
