How to change the sound when connecting charging on Xiaomi smartphones: 5 working ways

Are you tired of the standard beep your Xiaomi makes when you connect to a charger?This short but intrusive sound can be annoying, especially if you plug your phone in at night or in a quiet environment. Fortunately, the manufacturer and third-party developers offer several ways to change it – from simple replacement through system settings to deep customization with the help of a new model. ADB-team.

In this article, we will discuss all the current methods for devices on MIUI (including Redmi Note 12, POCO X5, Mi 11 and other models).

• 🔄 Replace the sound through the built-in settings MIUI (rootless)
• 🎵 Set up custom sound with the help of MIUI-launcher and so on
• 📱 Use third-party applications (with and without risks)
• 🖥️ Apply ADB-deep-tuning
• ⚙️ Turn off the sound if it is disturbing you.

Importantly, not all methods are universal — some require an unlocked bootloader or superuser rights. We'll note these cases separately.

1. Method: Replace the sound through MIUI settings (official method)

The easiest and safest way is to use the built-in MIUI capabilities. Unfortunately, it is not available on all firmware versions, but check it out first.

Go to: Settings → Sound and vibration → System sounds → Charging connection sound

Here you will see a list of available audio signals, depending on the version of MIUI (13, 14 or HyperOS) there may be options:

• 🔔 Standard (by default)
• 🎶 Melodic (longer signal)
• 🔕 No sound (complete shutdown)
• 🎼 Classic (sound from older versions) MIUI)

If this menu is not available, your firmware does not support the change of sound through settings, in which case move on to the following methods.

⚠️ Note: On some models (POCO F5, Redmi K60) After upgrading to HyperOS, this partition may disappear. In this case, try resetting the sound settings to the factory (Settings) → Annexes → Application management → Settings → Warehouse → Clear the data).

Method: Use of MIUI-theme

If the settings don’t have the right section, try changing the sound through MIUI themes. Many custom themes include not only visual changes, but also new sound effects, including a charging signal.

Instructions:

1. Open the Themes app (icon with brush).
2. Go to the section I → My topics → Sounds.
3. Select your favorite theme marked "Includes sounds".
4. Apply it and restart the device.

Popular themes with sounds:

If the sound has not changed after applying the theme, check:

Charging sound is enabled in settings (Settings → Sound → System Sounds)

Theme supports your version of MIUI

You reboot the device after application

You have enough free memory (themes may not use sounds when space is scarce)-->

Method: Third-party applications for sound substitution

If the system methods don't work, you can use Google Play apps, but there are risks:

• 🚫 Without root, most apps won’t be able to replace system sounds.
• 🔓 With root – requires unlocking the bootloader and the rights of the superuser.
• 🛡️ Security – Some applications may contain malicious code.

Recommended apps (checked on Xiaomi):

• 📱 Zedge – a large number of sounds and melodies, but requires manual copying of files to the system folder.
• 🔊 Ringtone Maker – allows you to create your own sounds, but does not replace system without root.
• 🎛️ SoundAssistant (from Samsung, but works on the same platform) MIUI) — Controls audio profiles, but does not change the charging signal.

To replace the sound without root:

1. Download your favorite sound in.ogg or.mp3 format (maximum 5 seconds).
2. Rename the file to Charging.ogg.
3. Using a file manager (e.g. MiXplorer) copy it to /system/media/audio/ui/ (root or ADB rights required)
4. Change the file permission to 644 (r-w r--- r---).
5. Reset the device.

⚠️ Note: Incorrectly changing files in the folder /system It can lead to bootloop.We recommend backing up the original Charging.ogg file before replacing it.

💡

If you don't have root but you have an unlocked bootloader, you can temporarily get root access through Magisk just to replace the sound, and then turn it off. This will reduce the security risks.

Method: Use of ADB-Teams (for advanced users)

If you’re not afraid of the command line, ADB (Android Debug Bridge) lets you change the charging sound without root.This method works on most Xiaomi devices, but requires a PC connection.

Steps:

1. Install ADB and Fastboot Tools on your computer.
2. Turn on USB Debugging on your phone: Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version (click 7 times to become a developer) → Additional → For Developers → Debugging over USB.
3. Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
4. Open the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS/Linux) and type: adb devices Make sure your device appears in the list.
5. Download the new sound in.ogg and rename it to Charging.ogg.
6. Copy the file to the device: adb push Charging.ogg /sdcard/
7. Replace system sound (temporary root via adb shell su required): adb shell su mount -o rw,remount /system cp /sdcard/Charging.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/chmod 644 /system/media/audio/ui/Charging.ogg reboot

On HyperOS devices, the path to sounds may be different: check the /system/product/media/audio/ui/ folder.

5. Method: Completely shutting off the charging sound

If you don't need sound at all when you connect the charger, you can turn it off completely.

Method 1. Through MIUI settings:

1. Go to Settings → Sound and vibration → System sounds.
2. Find the Sound Charging Connection and select No Sound.
3. If there is no point, move on to the second method.

Method 2. Through ADB (without root):

Follow the command:

adb shell settings put global charging_sound_enabled 0

To get the sound back, use:

adb shell settings put global charging_sound_enabled 1

On some firmware (MIUI 14 for Redmi Note 11), this option can be reset after the update, in which case you will have to repeat the command or use Tasker to automatically disable.

💡

Turning off the charging sound does not affect other system signals (such as notifications or alarms).

Frequent problems and their solutions

When replacing the charging sound, Xiaomi users often encounter typical errors.

If none of the methods worked, check:

• 🔍 Compatibility of your model with the selected method (for example, POCO X3 Pro may require other teams ADB).
• 📋 Availability of recent updates MIUI (Sometimes bugs are fixed in new versions).
• 🛠️ System File Integrity (can be verified by adb shell ls) -l /system/media/audio/ui/).
