How to Remove Sound When Recording a Conversation on Xiaomi: All Ways (2026)

Recording phone conversations on Xiaomi smartphones is a useful feature, but often it is spoiled by an annoying beep. This can be a click at the beginning of the recording, periodic notifications about recording, or the system sound that is heard by the interlocutor. Depending on the model (Redmi Note 12, POCO X5, Mi 11) and the version of MIUI (12-14), the ways to turn off the sound differ – somewhere you need to change the settings of the application, and somewhere you need to edit the system files.

In this article, we will discuss all the current methods, including official (via the phone menu) and alternative (using ADB or third-party applications), and pay special attention to the nuances for different versions of firmware and models, since since MIUI 13 Global, Xiaomi has limited access to some recording settings due to legal requirements in certain countries. If you encounter a problem that the sound of the recording is not turned off by standard methods, here you will find a solution.

Why is there a sound when recording a conversation?

The sound signals when recording a call on Xiaomi appear for three main reasons:

• 🔔 Legal requirements: in some countries (for example, India, EU) it is mandatory to notify the interlocutor of the recording. MIUI default-on.
• 📱 Dictator function: the standard com.miui.voiceassist application can play a click at the beginning/end of a recording.
• 🔊 System notifications: MIUI can duplicate the sound of the beginning of the recording, even if the recorder is disabled.

On Redmi and POCO with MIUI 12-14, the sound can come from a variety of sources:

• 🎤 Microphone click (hardware artifact upon recording activation).
• 📢 Voice notification ("Recording has begun" in some regional firmware).
• 🔔 Notification sound (if recording is made via "Call Record" in phone settings).

⚠️ Note: On smartphones with MIUI China (Chinese firmware) recording sound is often missing by default, but it cannot be disabled manually - this is due to local privacy laws.

Method 1: Turn off the sound in the standard Xiaomi voice recorder

If you use the built-in Dictator app (com.miui.voiceassist) to record conversations, check its settings first:

1. Open the Dictaphone app (mic icon).
2. Tap it on three points (⋮) top-right → Settings.
3. Find the item "Record Sound" or "Record Notices" (name depends on the version of MIUI).
4. Turn off the sliders: 🔇 The sound of the recording 🔇 Sound of recording ending 🔇 Voice prompts (if any)

On MIUI 14, the path may differ: Settings → Applications → Recorder → Notifications → Recording Sound. If there is no point, then the sound is controlled at the system level (see Method 3).

⚠️ Note: On some models (Redmi 10, POCO M4 Pro) after the sound in the recorder is turned off, it may appear again after the update MIUI. In this case, you will need to reset the application settings or use ADB-team.

Method 2: Configure call recording in phone settings

If the recording is not conducted through the recorder, but through the built-in function "Recording calls" in the phone settings, the sound is controlled separately:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Phone → Recording calls.
2. Slip on "Record Settings" (or "Additional").
3. Turn off the options: 🔔 Notification of recording (sound signal) 🗣️ Voice alert (if any)

Save the changes and restart the phone.

On MIUI 13 Global and later, this section can be hidden to open:

Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (tap 7 times to unlock Developer Mode)


Settings → Additional → Developer Mode → Enable “Show Call Recording”

Method 3: Disable system recording sounds via ADB

If the audio is not turned off via the menu, it can be locked at the system level using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which works on all versions of MIUI, but requires the phone to be connected to a computer.

Step-by-step:

1. Download ADB Tools and unpack the archive.
2. Turn on your phone Debugging over USB: Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (tap 7 times) → Developer settings → Debugging over USB.
3. Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
4. Open the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Mac/Linux) in the folder with ADB.
5. Follow the commands in turn: adb shell settings put global call_recording_notification 0 settings put global call_recording_tone 0
6. Reboot your phone: adb reboot.

How to set up:

1. Install the app from Google Play.
2. Open the app settings and find the Notifications or Sounds section.
3. Turn it off: 🔔 Beginning/end sound of recording 📢 Voice prompts 🔔 System notifications (if any)

Settings → Applications → [Application Name] → Notifications

MIUI 13/14 may require third-party recording applications to:

Settings → Special permissions → Call recording → Select the application

💡

Before installing a third-party app, check its rating and reviews – some programs may contain ads or collect data.

Method 5: Manual removal of system sounds (for advanced)

If the recording sound is stored in system files, it can be manually removed, a method that requires root rights or access to the file system via ADB.

Instructions:

1. Connect your phone to your PC and open ADB.
2. Run the command to search for audio files: adb shell su find /system -name "record" -type f
3. Find files with recording sounds (usually in /system/media/audio/notifications or /system/media/audio/ui).
4. Delete or rename them: mv /system/media/audio/ui/CallRecordStart.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/CallRecordStart.ogg.bak
5. Reboot the phone.

💡

On Xiaomi with a Snapdragon processor (e.g., POCO F4), recording sound is most often programmatic and is disabled through settings. On models with MediaTek (Redmi 9A), ADB or root may be required.
