Charging sound on Xiaomi: how to turn on or off notification about the connection to the network

Do you connect a Xiaomi smartphone to charge, but instead of the usual sound signal, silence? Or, conversely, it is annoying to constantly peel at each cable connection? In this article, we will examine all the ways to control the charging sound on devices with a MIUI shell (including Redmi, POCO and Mi). From standard settings to hidden parameters, you will learn how to return the notification or get rid of it forever.

The problem with charging sound is often not a breakdown of the speaker, but a system or firmware setting. For example, after the MIUI 14/15 update, many users noticed that the signal was lost due to the default reset, and we tested the solutions on the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, POCO F5 and Xiaomi 13T models, all of which are valid for 2026.

Why the charging sound on Xiaomi disappeared: the main reasons

Before you change the settings, you need to understand why the charger connection signal stopped playing, and here are the most common reasons:

• 🔇 Silent mode or Do not disturb mode – blocks all system sounds, including charging notifications.
• 🔧 Resetting settings after update MIUI — Returns sound parameters to factory (sometimes disables notifications).
• 🎵 Change the sound circuit – the user could randomly select a profile without system signals.
• 🛠️ Firmware error is rare, but it happens that after an update MIUI "flying".
• 🔌 Charger problems – if the cable or adapter is faulty, the system may not recognize the connection.

If the charging sound is gone after the phone falls or moisture gets in, it could be hardware, like a speaker plume has gone away or a power charge has been damaged, and you'd better go to the service center, but 90 percent of the time, it's the software settings that are to blame.

Method 1: Enabling charging sound through MIUI settings

The easiest method is to check the settings of the audio notifications in the system menu, and the instructions are relevant for MIUI 12-15 (including global and Chinese versions):

1. Open the Settings app (cog icon).
2. Go to the section Sound and vibration.
3. Select the Notification Sound.
4. Scroll down to the System Sounds block and find the Charge option.
5. Make sure the slider is turned on (should be blue).
6. Click on the Charge bar to select the notification melody.

If your MIUI version does not have a separate charge item, try an alternative way:

Settings → Sounds and vibration → Additional → System sounds → Connect to charging

Make sure the phone is not in silent mode |

Check the "Notification Sound" section in the settings |

Select a melody to notify you of charging |

Reboot your phone after the changes-->

Important! On some models (e.g., the POCO X5 Pro), the charging sound is tied to the general setting "System sounds." If you turn off all system signals, the notification of the connection to the network will also disappear.

Method 2: Configure with MIUI Launcher (for older versions)

In MIUI 10-12 firmware, the charging sound is sometimes hidden in the launcher settings, which is suitable if the standard path from the previous section did not work:

1. Press and hold your finger on the free space of the desktop.
2. In the menu that appears, select Launcher Settings (or Screen Settings).
3. Go to the section Additional or Sounds.
4. Find the option of charging connection Sound and activate it.

If there is no such item, try resetting the launcher settings:

Settings of the launcher → Resetting settings → Confirm

⚠️ Warning: Resetting the launcher will bring back the standard layout of icons and widgets on the desktop. You can't back up -- get ready to reset the screen.

Method 3: Using Developer Mode (for Power Users)

If the charging sound is not enabled through the standard settings, you can try activating it through the developer mode, which requires caution, since incorrect changes can disrupt the system.

First, turn on the developer mode:

Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (click 7 times in a row)

After activation:

1. Return to Settings and open the Additional (or Developer) section.
2. Find the USB debugging option and turn it on.
3. Connect your phone to your computer and use it. ADB The following is adb shell settings put system. charging_sound_enabled 1
4. Reset the device.

To turn off the charging sound through ADB, replace the command with 1 by 0.

Method 4: Reset all sound settings to factory

If none of these methods worked, you can reset the audio to default, and that will bring back all the system sounds, including the charging notification.

1. Open the Settings. → Sounds and vibrations.
2. In the upper right corner, press three dots (⋮) and select Resetting Settings.
3. Confirm the action.

Once reset, all user tunes of notifications, alarms and signals will be deleted. You can't back up the audio settings -- get ready to reset them.

How to Turn Off Charging Sound on Xiaomi Forever

If you're annoyed by the constant clicking on the network, you can turn off the notification completely, and you can do this in three ways:

• 🔕 Through settings MIUI (similar to switching on, but disabling slider).
• 🎵 Select "No Sound" as the charging notification melody.
• 🛠️ Through ADB (Adb shell settings put system charging_sound_enabled 0).

On some models (such as the POCO M5), the charging sound is tied to the general setting "System sounds", in which case you will have to turn off all signals or use third-party applications to manage notifications.

💡

If you often connect your phone to charging at night, but do not want to wake up your household with an audible signal, set a schedule for silent mode: Settings → Sounds → Silent Mode Schedule.

Frequent Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

When setting up the charging sound, users often make common mistakes that lead to the opposite result.

• 🚫 Turning off all system sounds will not only remove the charging notification, but also the alarm clock signals, SMS other important events.

• 🚫 Resetting your phone completely is a radical method that will delete all data, including photos and contacts.
• 🚫 Install third-party applications for sound management – they may contain malicious code or conflict with the MIUI.

If after all the manipulations, the charging sound never appeared, check the speaker's performance.

1. Enable any tune through the standard Music app.
2. Record the voice message in the recorder and play it.
3. Call your phone from another device and check the call sound.
