How to remove the increasing call on Xiaomi: 5 ways for all models

The mounting call on Xiaomi smartphones is one of the most annoying features for many users. A sound that starts quietly and gradually builds up to maximum volume can be out of balance, especially if you are in a quiet room or at an important event. Despite the fact that the manufacturer positions this feature as a “smooth awakening”, most owners of Redmi, POCO and Mi want to turn it off.

The problem is that the setting of the incremental call is hidden deep in the system, and in some versions. MIUI It's not on the standard menu at all. We've tested all the current methods on devices with a computer. MIUI 12–MIUI 14 (including HyperOS) and assembled working solutions - from simple to advanced, including ADB-Teams for experienced users.

If you're tired of having an alarm clock or an incoming call start with a barely audible squeak and make you nervous about a loud sound, this is the instruction for you. We'll look at options for different scenarios: turn off the alarm clock only, for calls, and completely remove the function from the system.

1. Standard disabling of the incremental call in the MIUI settings

On most Xiaomi devices (especially the newer MIUI 13/14), the swelling function is hidden in the alarm menu.

Open the Watch app (the icon with the dial) and go to the Alarm tab. Click on the icon ⚙️ (In the list of options, find the item "Increasing sound" - it can be hidden under the section "Alarm clock" or "Additional..

If this is not the case, don't despair. Some firmware (e.g., POCO F3 with MIUI 12.5) has a different name for the option:

• 🔔 "Smooth increase in volume" - in the settings of the alarm clock;
• 🎵 "Adaptive sound" - in the section "Sounds and vibrations;
• ⏰ "Wake up smoothly” – on older versions MIUI (11th).

On the Redmi Note 10 Pro and Xiaomi 12T with MIUI 13, we found that the option only appears after resetting the alarm settings. To do this, remove all alarms, restart the phone and create a new one - a point with an increasing sound should appear.

⚠️ Note: On HyperOS devices (e.g. Xiaomi 14), the standard path may not work.

2. Disconnection through sound settings (alternative method)

If the Watch app doesn’t have the right option, try changing the audio settings directly, which works on the POCO X3 Pro, Redmi 9A and other models with MIUI 12.0-12.5.

Go to Settings → Sounds and Vibrations → Alarm Rings. Here, select any tune (like Basic or Morning Flower) and click on it. In some firmware, after selecting a tune, an additional menu with the option “Increasing Sound” appears – turn it off.

If the menu doesn’t appear, try a different approach:

1. Set a third-party alarm (like Google Clock or Sleep as Android).
2. In the settings of the third-party application, find the option Volume ramp (increasing sound) and deactivate it.
3. Remove the standard Xiaomi alarm through Settings → Apps → App Management → Watches → Remove Updates.

3. Hidden settings via Engineering Mode (for advanced)

On some devices (such as the Redmi Note 8 Pro or Mi 9T), the scaling-up option is hidden in the engineering menu, a method that requires caution – incorrect changes can lead to crashes.

Enter the code in the phone application:

##36446337##

This will open the Engineering Mode. Go to Hardware Testing → Audio → Ring.

• 🔊 Ringing Volume Ramp – Disable (Install Disable);
• 🔔 Alarm Volume Ramp is the same thing;
• 🎵 Media Volume Ramp – responsible for the mounting sound in multimedia (turn off if necessary).

After the changes, restart the device. If the engineering menu does not open, then your model does not support it (this is typical for new devices on HyperOS).

⚠️ Warning: Do not change other settings in Engineering Mode unless you know their purpose.This can lead to loss of sound or unstable phone performance.

4. Disconnection via ADB (for power users)

If the standard methods don’t work, the most reliable way is to use Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which works on all Xiaomi devices but requires a computer connection.

First, turn on the developer mode:

1. Go to Settings. → The phone;
2. Press 7 times on the MIUI version.
3. Return to Settings → Additional → For developers;
4. Activate Debugging on USB.

Now connect your phone to your PC, install ADB-tools and execute the commands:

adb shell settings put global alarm_volume_ramp_enabled 0


adb shell settings put global ring_volume_ramp_enabled 0

For verification, enter:

adb shell settings get global alarm_volume_ramp_enabled

If the command returns 0, the incremental sound is turned off.

💡

If, after the execution, ADB-commands the increasing sound remained, try resetting the settings of the application "Clock" through Settings → Annexes → Application management → The clock → Warehouse → Clear the data.

5. Removal of system sounds (radical method)

If nothing works, you can delete or replace the system audio files that are responsible for the increasing effect, which is suitable for rooted devices or phones with an unlocked bootloader.

Download the file manager with access to the root folder (such as Root Explorer or Mixplorer) and go on the path: /system/media/audio/alarms or /system/media/audio/ringtones.

Find the files with the names:

• 🔊 alarm_ramp.ogg;
• 🔔 ring_ramp.mp3;
• 🎵 volume_ramp.wav.

Remove them or rename them (add at the end of.bak).

If you do not have root rights, you can replace system sounds with ADB:

adb pull /system/media/audio/alarms/alarm_ramp.ogg


adb shell rm /system/media/audio/alarms/alarm_ramp.ogg

⚠️ Note: Deleting system files can cause errors in the phone.Before making changes, back up through TWRP Or Mi Flash Tool.

Problems and Solutions: Why doesn’t the incremental sound turn off?

Sometimes, even after all the manipulations, the mounting sound keeps working, and the reasons and ways to eliminate them are considered:

Problem 1: Settings are reset after the MIUI update.

Solution: After updating, repeat ADB-Check the settings in the "Clock" application".

Problem 2: HyperOS doesn’t have an option on the menu.

Solution: Use ADB or install an alternative launcher (like Nova Launcher) that can block system sounds.

Problem 3: The mounting sound only works in headphones.

Solution: Check Bluetooth settings in Settings → Connected devices → Bluetooth sound settings.

💡

If none of these methods worked, try resetting your phone to factory settings (by backing up beforehand), which solves the problem of the mounting sound on stock firmware in 90% of cases.
