How to remove sound when connecting charging to Xiaomi Redmi: all working methods

The audio signal when connecting charging to Xiaomi Redmi smartphones is one of the most controversial features of MIUI. For some users, it is a convenient reminder to start charging, for others – an annoying nuance, especially at night. Unfortunately, in standard audio settings, this option is often hidden or absent. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to turn off the charging sound on Redmi devices (including Note 10/11/12, Redmi 9/10/13C and others) running on MIUI 12, 13 and 14.

It's important to understand that the methods vary depending on the firmware version and model, and you can change the system settings somewhere, and in some cases you will need to use ADB or third-party utilities, and we'll look at the options from the simplest to the most technically complex, so you can choose the best one.

Before you start, check the MIUI version on your device: go to Settings → About Phone → MIUI version. This will help you to more accurately determine the appropriate method.

1. Disable charging sound through standard MIUI settings

In some versions of Xiaomi firmware, the charging connection sound can be turned off via the audio notification menu, a method that works on most devices with MIUI 12 and later, but not all Redmi models.

Instructions:

• 📱 Open Settings and go to the section Sounds and vibrations.
• 🔊 Scroll down to the System sounds (or Other sounds) block).
• 🔕 Find the Sound Charging Connection (may be called Charging or Power Connection) and turn off the slider.
• 🔄 Reboot your phone to make the changes take effect.

If there is no such option, don't worry. This means that your version of MIUI doesn't support this option through the GUI, so move on to the following methods.

2.Use of Do Not Disturb mode for temporary shutdown

If the sound of charging is only annoying at night, you can use the Do Not Disturb function, which does not remove the sound completely, but allows you to turn it off at a given hour.

How to set up:

• 🕒 Go to Settings. → Sounds and vibrations → Don't disturb.
• ⏰ Enable the Schedule option and set the interval (for example, from 23:00 to 7:00).
• 🔔 In the Exceptions section, make sure that System Sounds (or System Notifications) are disabled.
• 📴 Activate the mode Do not disturb manually or wait for the timer to work.

The downside is that the charging sound will only be turned off during the selected hours, and other system notifications (alarm clocks, reminders) will also disappear with it if exceptions are not configured.

💡

MIUI 14 has a Quiet Charging option in the battery settings. Check Settings → Battery → Additional – it may be hiding the right switch.

3. Disconnection through the developer settings (hidden method)

The Developer Menu contains options that can be used to turn off the charging sound, which works on most Redmi devices, but requires developer mode activation.

Step-by-step:

1. Activate the Developer Mode: 🔧 Go to Settings. → The phone. 🔨 5 times in a row, click on the version MIUI, until you have been notified you have become a developer!.
2. Open the menu for developers: 🔧 Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers (or the System) → Additionally. → For developers).

• 🔊 Scroll down to the Media or Sound block.
• 🔕 Disable the charging connection sound (could be called Sound when charging in English firmware).

If there is no such item, try finding Debugging over USB and Allow location simulations – sometimes audio options appear after these features are enabled.

4. Removal of system sound through file manager (for advanced)

The charging connection sound is stored in MIUI system files. If you have root rights or access to the system partition via ADB, you can simply delete or rename the audio file.

Instructions:

• 📁 Install a file manager with root access (such as Root Explorer or Solid Explorer).
• 🔍 Cross the path: /system/media/audio/ui/ or (in new versions) MIUI): /system/product/media/audio/ui/
• 🎵 Find files with names: Charging.ogg Unplug.ogg power_connect.ogg power_disconnect.ogg
• 🗑️ Delete files or rename them by adding.bak at the end (e.g. Charging.ogg.bak).
• 🔄 Reboot the phone.

Attention! This method requires root rights and can cause system failures if the wrong files are deleted.

5. Shutting down the sound through ADB-teams (without root)

If previous methods didn't work, you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge), which doesn't require root rights, but requires a computer and enabled USB debugging.

Instructions:

1. 🖥️ Install. ADB Tools on PC: Download Platform Tools from the official Android website. Unpack the archive into a separate folder (for example, C:\adb).

Settings → For developers → Debugging by USB

adb devices

(The name of your device should appear).

adb shell settings put global charging_sound_enabled 0

🔄 Reboot the phone.

To return the sound back, use the same command, replacing 0 by 1.

💡

ADB-Teams are the most versatile way, running on 90% of Xiaomi devices without root. USB-debugging.

6. Resetting the sound settings to factory

If the charging sound comes up after you update or change the system settings, you can try resetting the audio settings, and it won't delete your data, but it will return all the sound settings to factory values.

How to reset:

• 🔧 Go to Settings. → System system → Resetting settings.
• 🔊 Select Resetting Sound Settings (or Resetting All Settings if the First Item is not available).
• 🔄 Confirm the action and restart the phone.

After the reset, check if the sound has disappeared. If it hasn't, it's probably written at the firmware level, and you'll need to use ADB or root methods.
