Xiaomi’s Redmi Note series has a variety of advanced features that are activated by default for maximum user convenience. One of these features is the audible power supply notification that is played every time a cable is connected to the port. For many Redmi Note 10 Pro owners, this sound becomes an annoying factor, especially at night or in quiet rooms such as a library or office.
Unfortunately, the standard MIUI or HyperOS audio settings often lack a direct switch to completely silence this system tone. Users are forced to look for workarounds, modify system files or use third-party applications to achieve the desired silence. In this article, we will look at all the available methods for solving this problem, from simple settings to more complex manipulations.
It's important to understand that the audio of charging is part of the Android system interface, adapted by the manufacturer's shell, so how to turn it off can vary depending on the firmware version and the region for which the device is released. We'll focus on the methods relevant to the Redmi Note 10 Pro model, given its architectural features.
Analysis of system sound settings in MIUI
The first step in trying to remove unnecessary sounds should always be a thorough study of the standard settings menu. In the MIUI shell installed on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, audio control is divided into several logical blocks, and sometimes the desired switch is hidden in an unobvious place. The user needs to go to the Settings → Sound and vibration section and carefully study all subsections.
Here you should pay attention to the option Additional sounds, which often contains settings of system notifications. In some versions of firmware, this is where you can find the option to block the sounds of the interface, which can indirectly affect the sound of charging. However, as practice shows, an outright ban on the sound of cable connection by Xiaomi developers is often not provided.
However, in the same menu, you can adjust the behavior of the smartphone when connecting the charger in other aspects, for example, you can turn off vibration or light indications if they also cause discomfort.
⚠️ Warning: Changing global audio settings may cause you to stop hearing other important system notifications, such as synchronization errors or low charge alerts.
It is also worth checking the settings of special features, which sometimes hide options for people with hearing or vision impairments that can duplicate audio signals. Disabling such functions in the Settings → Advanced Settings → Special features can remove unnecessary audio duplicates.
Use of the "Do Not Disturb" mode
The easiest and safest way to get rid of charging sound, especially at night, is to use Do Not Disturb mode, which is designed to block all incoming calls and notifications, but it can be flexibly configured to ignore system sounds. On the Redmi Note 10 Pro, this feature works stably and does not require superuser rights.
To activate this mode, you need to lower the notification curtain and click on the moon icon, or go to Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb. Here you can set the schedule so that the phone automatically goes to quiet mode at a certain time, for example, from 23:00 to 07:00.
- 🌙 Set up automatic on schedule so you don’t forget to manually activate it.
- 🔇 Check the exception settings so that important contact calls can still wake you up if needed.
- ⏰ Make sure the alarm continues to work even when the silence mode is on, as in the MIUI It's standard behavior.
There's also the ability to adjust the device's response to repeated calls, but that's not the case with charging sounds, and the main advantage of this method is that it's reversible and safe to guarantee the device, so you can turn off the mode at any time and return all the sound effects.
Application of third-party applications for sound management
If Xiaomi’s standard tools don’t get the desired result, Google Play apps come to the rescue. There are many utilities developed by enthusiasts to fine-tune the Android sound circuitry. Programs like Volume Control or Sound Assistant can intercept system events and block played audio files.
The principle of such applications is to create a profile in which the volume of system sounds when connecting the charger is forced to zero. Some advanced utilities even allow you to replace the standard charging sound with any other audio file, including a silence file.
When installing such applications on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, you need to be attentive to the permissions requested. To work correctly, the program may need access to system settings and the ability to display on top of other windows, this is necessary for an instant reaction to the cable connection.
| Title of the annex | Type of access | Possibility of sound replacement | Advertising |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volume Control | Systemic | Yes. | There is. |
| Sound Assistant | Modular | Yes. | No. |
| Auto Silence | Eventary | No (only silence) | There is. |
The app should be constantly hanging in memory, waiting for a charging connection event, which can result in a small but noticeable increase in battery consumption in the background.
Modification of system files through Root rights
For power users who are not afraid to interfere with the operating system, there is a radical method - direct editing of system files, which requires the SuperUser (Root) rights that are obtained after unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk, without these rights, access to the necessary directories will be closed.
The method is to find the audio file responsible for the sound of the power connection, usually located in the directory /system/media/audio/ui or /product/media/audio/ui. The file can be called PowerOn.ogg, WirelessCharging.ogg or have a similar name depending on the version of MIUI.
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.oggBy deleting or renaming a file, you will get rid of the sound forever. However, this method carries significant risks. Any error when working with system files can lead to a cyclical restart of the smartphone or loss of warranty. In addition, after updating the firmware, all changes will be reset, and the procedure will have to be repeated.
⚠️ Note: Getting Root rights and unlocking the bootloader on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro leads to cancellation of warranty and may disrupt the work of banking applications and services Google Pay.
Before any manipulations are initiated, it is strongly recommended to create a complete backup of the data, and it is also worth making sure that you accurately identify the desired file, since deleting the system components of the sound engine can lead to a complete absence of sound in the device.
What is ADB and how to use it?
Automation through scripts and macros
Modern versions of MIUI and third-party launchers offer powerful automation tools. With the built-in Auto Tasks app (or analogues like MacroDroid), you can create a scenario that responds to a charger connection event, a softer version of Root methods that does not require deep intervention.
The logic behind this scenario is simple: the trigger is the event “Charger connected” and the action is “Set the volume level of the media or system to 0.” After a few seconds, when the sound should be played, the volume will be minimal and the user will not hear anything.
- 🤖 Create a new scenario in the automation application.
- 🔌 Select the trigger "Power Connection».
- 🔇 Add the action "Change the volume» -> «Systemic sounds» -> «0%».
- ⏳ Add the delay to 5-10 Seconds and the action "Release the volume" so as not to be left without sound at all.
This approach allows you to flexibly adjust the behavior of the smartphone, for example, you can make the sound turn off only at night or when the phone is in a specific location, which makes using the device much more comfortable and personalized.
☑️ Checking before automation
The influence of design themes and sound schemes
Remember, the MIUI Themes store plays a huge role in Xiaomi’s ecosystem. Some third-party themes may have their own sound circuits that overlap the system settings. If you recently changed the theme, the problem with the loud charging sound may have been because of it.
Check your active theme settings by going to the Topics → Profile → Settings. There may be an option to use system sounds instead of theme sounds. Switching to a standard Classic or Default theme often helps to return smartphone behavior to factory settings, where charging sound may be quieter or absent.
And there are also some quiet themes that the community has designed specifically for those who prefer minimalism, and installing a theme is a legal and safe way to change the audio experience without risking system damage, and you can search the themes catalog for "Silent" or "No Sound."
💡
Always check the description and reviews before installing a new theme, and users often write whether the theme contains their own audio files or uses standard system sounds.
Comparison of methods of switching off sound
To sum up, the choice of method depends on your technical background and willingness to take risks. For most users, the best solution is to use Do Not Disturb mode or adjust automation, which are safe, reversible and do not require special knowledge.
Root-rights techniques are only suitable for enthusiasts who understand the consequences of their actions and are willing to take responsibility for the stability of the device, and interfering with system files is an extreme measure that should be resorted to only if other methods have not worked.
Remember, the software is constantly updated. MIUI or HyperOS developers can add the long-awaited charge sound switch to standard settings, making all complex workarounds unnecessary. → The phone.
⚠️ Attention: After each major firmware update, the automation and third-party application settings may be reset.
💡
The safest and most effective way for the average user is to use automation scenarios or Do Not Disturb mode, as they do not violate system integrity and warranty.
