How to turn off the sound of charging connection on Xiaomi: all ways of 2026

The sound of charging on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones can be annoying, especially at night when you connect the device to the network in silence. Despite the fact that the manufacturer added this signal for convenience (so that the user knows that charging has begun), many want to turn it off. The problem is that the standard MIUI settings do not have such an option — it was hidden in deep menus or completely removed in new versions of the firmware.

In this article, we’ll look at all the current ways to turn off charging sound, from simple (through audio settings) to advanced (using ADB and editing system files), and find out why sound can appear even after a shutdown, and how to fix it on Xiaomi 12/13/14, Redmi Note 11/12 and other popular devices. If you’re tired of the constant “peak” when connecting a cable, read on.

Why Xiaomi doesn’t let you just turn off the charging sound?

The manufacturer argues that the charging connection sound is a system notification similar to low battery or headphone signals; in early versions of MIUI (up to 12), it could be turned off via the Sounds and Vibrations menu, but nolater versions (MIUI 13/14 and HyperOS) have removed this feature “to improve the user experience.”

In fact, the reasons are more prosaic:

• 📱 Legal requirements in some countries (e.g. EU) require you to warn the user about charging.
• 🔋 Marketing Push: Sound is associated with the brand (like a Nokia tune) and subconsciously reminds you of Xiaomi.
• 🛠️ Technical limitations: sound is recorded in the system file /system/media/audio/ui/Charging.ogg, Disabling it requires the rights of the superuser.

However, you can get around these limitations – and we will show you how to do this without risking the device.

Method 1: Disconnect via audio settings (MIUI 12 and older)

In MIUI 12-14 and HyperOS, the charging sound is tied to the System Sounds category, which can be partially disabled, but not all models support this method.

1. Open the Settings. → Sounds and vibrations.
2. Scroll down to the System Sounds and Vibration block.
3. Turn off the “Connection and Disconnect Sound” slider (if any).

⚠️ Note: On some devices (e.g. Xiaomi 13 Pro or Redmi Note 12 Pro)+) This item may not be available, so move on to the next one.

Check the version of MIUI (Settings → About the phone)

Backup of important data

Charge your phone at least 50%

Connect to a stable Wi-Fi network (for ADB methods)

Method 2: Using ADB to turn off system sounds

If the settings do not have the option to turn off charging sound, you can use Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which works on all Xiaomi devices without root rights, but requires a connection to a computer.

Step-by-step:

1. Download and install ADB Tools on PC.
2. Turn on the developer mode on the phone (7 times click on "Version" MIUI» In Settings → The phone).
3. Activate USB Debugging in Settings → Additional → For developers.
4. Connect your phone to your PC and execute: Adb shell settings put global charging_sound_enabled 0

Important: After the device is restarted, the sound can return. To fix the change, add a command to the autoboot via Tasker or a similar app.

adb shell settings put system charging_sound_enabled 0

Sometimes the charging sound is tied to system settings, not global ones.-->

Method 3: Edit system files (root required)

For advanced users who are ready to get root rights, there is a radical method - deleting or renaming the charging sound file, which will permanently remove the signal, but it will require caution.

Instructions:

1. Get root rights (for example, through Magisk).
2. Use a file manager with root support (such as Root Explorer or Solid Explorer).
3. Cross the path: /system/media/audio/ui/ Find the Charging.ogg file (or charge_start.ogg new-fixed).
4. Rename the file to Charging.ogg.bak or delete it.
5. Reset the device.

⚠️ Note: Deleting system files can cause malfunctions MIUI. Before the action, make a backup copy through TWRP Mi Backup.

Method 4: Using sound-blocking applications

If you don't want to go through the settings or use ADB, you can use third-party apps, which don't remove the sound completely, but they block it from playing.

Top.-3 charging-off:

• 🔇 SoundAssistant (from Samsung, but runs on Xiaomi) – allows you to turn off system sounds selectively.
• 🎵 MacroDroid – Creates the rule “If charging is connected” → turn off».
• 🛠️ Shizuku + AppOps – for advanced users (requires customization through the ADB).

Example of settings in MacroDroid:

1. Create a new macro.
2. Trigger: "Charging state → Connected."
3. Action: “Audio → Set the volume of system sounds to 0.”
4. Save and activate the macro.

⚠️ Note: Some applications (such as SoundAssistant) may conflict with energy-saving modes MIUI. Add them to exceptions in Settings → Battery → Optimizing the battery.

Method 5: Disconnect via the Engineering Menu (for experienced)

Xiaomi has a hidden engineering menu where you can turn off some system sounds, a technique that doesn’t work on all models, but it’s worth a try.

How to open the engineering menu:

1. Open the phone app.
2. Enter the code ##36446337##
3. Go to the Hardware Testing → Audio section.
4. Find items related to Charging Sound or System Notifications and turn them off.

If the code doesn’t work, try alternatives:

• #4636## (a common Android test menu)
• ##6484## (testing menu)

💡

The engineering menu may vary depending on the model and version of MIUI. Do not change other settings in this menu - this can lead to unstable operation of the device!

What if the sound of charging still appears?

Sometimes, even after all the manipulations, the sound of the charging connection continues to play, and here are the possible causes and solutions:

If nothing helps, check:

• 🔄 Update the firmware to the latest version (sometimes bugs are fixed in new builds).
• 🧹 Reset the settings to factory (pre-make a backup!).
• 📱 Install custom firmware (e.g. Pixel Experience) where the charging sound is turned off as standard.
