Xiaomi smartphones are known for their functionality, but sometimes system notifications can be annoying, especially at night. One of these annoying signals is the standard sound that is heard when you connect the power cable. This can disrupt the silence in the theater, in a meeting or, most often, wake the user in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the shells of MIUI and the new HyperOS provide flexible tools to control this parameter.
In this article, we will take a look at all the ways to remove the charging sound on Xiaomi, and we will look at both the standard system settings that suit most users, and more complex methods through process automation, so you can set your device so that it responds to the connection to the power grid only visually, without making unnecessary noise.
It's worth noting that depending on the operating system version and the model of your smartphone, the location of some menu items may vary slightly, but the overall logic of the interface remains the same for all devices of the Redmi, POCO and Xiaomi brand. Let's start setting the silence.
Disabling system sounds in settings
The easiest and most obvious way is to go to the basic audio profile settings. In recent firmware versions, developers often hide this option deeper in the menu to avoid accidentally turning off important notifications, so you need to go to Settings and select the item related to sounds and vibrations.
You can look for the "Additional Sounds" or "System Sounds" subsection here, and that's where the switch that's responsible for the audio response to the interface and peripheral connectivity often hides, and if you turn off the "UI Sounds" slider, you'll probably also remove the charging signal, but it can also affect the screen lock and keystroke sounds.
- 🔇 Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration to start work.
- 🔍 Find the “Additional Sounds” item at the bottom of the list.
- 📴 Turn off the “Blocking Sounds” or “UI Sounds” option».
But this method has a significant drawback: it makes not only charging but other system reactions of the phone mute, and if you want to keep the keyboard or lock sounds, you'll have to look for finer settings or use automation.
⚠️ Warning: After disabling system sounds, you may stop hearing dialing or locking the screen. Check these features before saving your settings.
Use of the "Silent Mode" application
Xiaomi has an in-built app that is often ignored, and it's called "Silent Mode" (or "Silent Mode" in some regions), not just a profile switch, but a smart scheduler that can change the behavior of a smartphone on a schedule or event.
While direct disabling of the sound is rare here, this app allows you to create scenarios where the phone goes into Do Not Disturb or No Sound mode automatically, for example, you can set a rule that when you connect the charger at a certain time of day, the phone goes into silent mode.
To access these features, open the Security app, which is preinstalled on each Xiaomi device. Inside, look for the Silent Mode tab, where you can activate In Your Pocket mode or set time intervals when system sounds must be forced off.
- ⏰ Set time intervals to automatically turn on silence.
- 📵 Use Do Not Disturb Mode to block all sounds.
- 🔋 Activate the rule of turning off sound at low battery charge.
This solution is ideal for those who want to remove the sound of charging only at night. During the day you will hear the cable connection, and at night the phone will charge in complete silence, imparting your sleep with unnecessary melodies.
💡
Use the resolution Do Not Disturb mode for selected contacts to avoid missing an important call even when the system sound is off.
Automation through the application “Scenarios”
The most flexible and professional way is to use the built-in Scripts app (previously called Tasker in some builds or as part of Mi AI), a powerful tool that allows you to create chains of action: “If event A occurs, do B.”
With scripts, you can create a rule: "When you connect the charger, set the volume of the media and the system to zero," which will keep the sounds of the interface active in normal mode, but instantly "dissound" the phone when you start charging.
To create such a scenario, open the Scripts app (often in the Tools folder). Click on the plus to create a new script. Select Power Connected or Charging Started as the trigger (conditions). Then add the Change Volume action and set all sliders to a minimum value.
☑️ Creating a silent scenario
Remember to also create a reverse scenario: "When the power is turned off, turn back the volume." Otherwise, after charging, your phone will remain silent, and you can skip the call. As a condition, select "Power is turned off", and the action will be to set the volume level, for example, 50% or 70%.
| Type of script | Trigger (Condition) | Action. | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start of charging | Power's on. | Volume of system: 0 | Active. |
| End of charge | Power's out. | System volume: 50% | Active. |
| Nighttime exercise | Time 23:00 + Charging | Do Not Disturb mode | Scheduled. |
| Morning rise | Time is 07:00. | Turn off "Do Not Disturb" | Scheduled. |
Using scripts takes a little time to set up initially, but the result is worth it. You get a fully customized device behavior that works autonomously and doesn't require your intervention every time.
Configure through the “Do Not Disturb” mode
If you don't want to create complex scenarios, you can use the simplified logic of the "Do Not Disturb" mode, which in modern versions of MIUI can be configured to turn on automatically under certain conditions, although there may not be a direct charge binding in the standard menu.
However, many users use this mode on a schedule, and if you put your phone on charge at night, turning on the timer's "Do Not Disturb" mode (e.g., 23:00 to 07:00) will solve the problem of nighttime charging sounds, in which system sounds, including the sound of the cable connection, are often ignored or replaced with vibration.
Go to Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb. You can set your activation schedule here. Also note the item “Repeat Events.” If your phone is connected to charging when you go to bed, this method will be the most effective and simple.
- 🌙 Set up automatic switching on the sleep schedule.
- 🔇 Make sure that the mode settings are banned from system sounds.
- ✅ Allow exceptions to the alarm clock so you don’t sleep.
⚠️ Warning: Do Not Disturb mode can turn off not only charging sounds, but also notifications from messengers.
Third-party applications for sound management
If you don’t have enough built-in tools, Google Play offers a variety of automated apps, with MacroDroid, Tasker, and IFTTT leading the way. These apps offer far more functionality than Xiaomi’s standard Scenarios.
For example, in MacroDroid, you can create a macro with a Power Connected trigger, and as an action, select Set Volume and specify System or Media as 0. The application runs in the background and responds instantly.
The advantage of third-party solutions is their versatility: they do not depend on the version of MIUI or HyperOS and work the same on the Redmi Note 10 and on the flagship Xiaomi 14 Ultra. However, it is worth remembering that such applications require constant permits to work in the background and can consume additional battery power, albeit minimal.
Why can third-party applications not work?
When choosing an application, pay attention to the reviews and installations. It is better to use proven tools with open source or high reputation, so as not to worry about the security of your data.
Features of work in HyperOS
With the release of the new HyperOS shell, which replaces MIUI, some paths to customization have changed. Logic has remained the same, but the visual design and item names may differ. HyperOS focuses more on the ecosystem and the smart home.
In this system, the charging sound is often tied to a general Sound and Tactile Recoil profile. If you're upgraded to HyperOS and can't find the old settings, try looking in Settings → Sound and Vibration → Additional. There may be a separate Charging Sound switch.
HyperOS also has improved scripting, and now it's more integrated with the smart home, so you can set up a "I'm at home" scene that, when you connect your phone to a dock, not only removes the sound, but also turns on the lights in the room or plays music if you need to.
Owners of HyperOS devices should pay attention to the widgets on the desktop. Often, audio profiles can be controlled on the home screen for quick access, which is more convenient than each time you go into the depths of the settings menu.
Why does the charging sound appear again after the reboot?
Can you just remove the start-of-charging sound, leaving the full-charge sound?
Does the theme of the design affect the presence of the charging sound?
Is it safe to use apps to change volume?
What if the sound of the charger is left after all the settings?
💡
The most reliable way to remove the sound is to create an automatic script that reduces the volume of the system to zero when the cable is connected.
Whether you choose the simple path of disabling system sounds or the advanced route of automation scripts, your Xiaomi smartphone can be as quiet as you need. Remember that only automation scripts allow selective silencing affect without other system sounds during normal operation.
Customizing your device is a key aspect of making the best use of modern technology. Don't be afraid to experiment with settings, but always remember to be able to get things back to normal. Now you know how to make your Xiaomi charging process completely silent.
