How to remove sound when connecting charging on Xiaomi: all methods (including hidden)

The sound signal when connecting a charger to a Xiaomi smartphone can be annoying, especially if you connect your phone at night or in a quiet room. Although this sound is an indicator of successful connectivity, many users want to turn it off. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways, from standard MIUI settings to hidden functions and technical solutions.

It is important to understand that the methods differ depending on the firmware version (MIUI 12, 13, 14) and the device model (Redmi Note 10, POCO X3, Xiaomi 13T, etc.). Some methods require superuser rights (root), others work without them. We will also consider why sound can appear even after a shutdown and how to fix it.

Why Xiaomi makes sound when charging and can it be removed?

The audio signal when connecting charging is a standard Android feature that Xiaomi has additionally customized in its MIUI shell.

• 🔊 Confirmation of connection – the user hears that the cable is inserted correctly and charging has started.
• ⚠️ Fault Warning – If the sound is repeated repeatedly, it may indicate problems with the cable, port or power supply.

On most models (Redmi 9, POCO F3, Xiaomi 12, etc.), this sound cannot be turned off through standard MIUI settings, as it will be sewn into system files. However, there are workarounds from using Do Not Disturb mode to editing system parameters. Below we will look at all the options, starting with the simplest ones.

If you use Xiaomi on pure Android (like the custom firmware POCO F1), sound can be controlled through standard Sound and Vibration settings. But most MIUI devices will require additional action.

Method 1: Turn off the sound through the "Do Not Disturb" mode

The easiest and safest method is to use Do Not Disturb mode, which temporarily shuts down all sounds, including the charging signal, and the disadvantage is that it also blocks other notifications (calls, SMS).

How to set up:

1. Open Settings → Sounds and vibrations → Do not disturb.
2. Select a Schedule and set a time when you want to turn off the sounds (for example, from 23:00 to 7:00).
3. In the Exclusions section, you can allow calls from selected contacts, if necessary.

This is a method that is suitable for those who want to get rid of the charging sound at night or at certain hours, but it doesn't completely remove the signal, just for the duration of the mode.

💡

If you only need silent notifications (without completely turning off the sound), select the “Only Important” option in the “Do Not Disturb” settings and add the desired applications to the exceptions.

Method 2: Using third-party applications (without root)

If standard settings don't work, you can use Google Play apps that block system sounds.

• 📱 MacroDroid – allows you to create automatic rules to turn off sounds when connecting charging.
• 🔇 SoundAssistant (from Samsung, but it works on Xiaomi) – manages system sounds, including charging.
• 🛠️ Tasker – Advanced Automation Tool (Requires customization).

Example of settings in MacroDroid:

1. Download and install the app.
2. Create a new macro team (Add Macro).
3. As a trigger, select Power Connected.
4. Add the Set Ringer Volume and set the value 0.
5. Save the macro.

These apps do not require root rights, but may require permission to access notifications and features, and some features may not work smoothly on the latest versions of MIUI 14.

Method 3: Editing system files (root required)

For advanced users who are ready to root, there is a radical way to delete or modify system audio files, which works 100 percent, but requires caution, as improper actions can lead to system failure.

Instructions:

1. Get root rights with Magisk or similar tools.
2. Install a file manager with root support (such as Root Explorer or Solid Explorer).
3. Go to /system/media/audio/ui/ or (on some firmware): /system/product/media/audio/ui/
4. Find files: PowerOn.ogg – the sound of the switch on; PowerOff.ogg – the sound of the turn off; Charging.ogg or WirelessChargingStart.ogg – the sound of charging.

.bak

Reset the device.

If the sound is still playing, check the /vendor/media/audio/ui/ folder, and sometimes the files are duplicated there.

⚠️ Note: Editing system files can disrupt the shell MIUI or make it impossible to update the firmware. Before making changes, back up your files!

Method 4: Disconnect via ADB (without root but with a computer)

If you don’t have root rights but you have access to a computer, you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to turn off system sounds, a method that works on most Xiaomi devices with MIUI 12-14.

Step-by-step:

1. Enable USB Debugging in the Developer Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version – Press 7 times, then go back to Additional Settings → For Developers.
2. Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
3. Download ADB Tools and unpack the archive.
4. Open the command line in the adb.exe folder and execute the commands: adb shell settings put global. power_sounds_enabled 0
5. Reset the device.

If the team doesn’t work, try an alternative:

adb shell


su




mount -o rw,remount /system




rm /system/media/audio/ui/Charging.ogg




mount -o ro,remount /system

This method does not require root, but may not work on some models due to MIUI limitations.

Method 5: Resetting the sound settings to the factory

Sometimes the charging sound comes from a glitch in the sound circuit settings, and in this case, it might help to reset the sound to factory values, and it won't delete your data, but it will return all the audio settings to their original state.

How to reset:

1. Go to Settings → Sounds and vibrations.
2. Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select Reset Settings.
3. Confirm the action.

After reset, check if the sound has disappeared. If not, try the other methods in this article.

This method is also useful if you have had any extra sounds or vibrations after the MIUI update that you didn’t have before.

Compatibility table with Xiaomi models

Not all methods work on all devices, and the following is a compatibility table for popular models:

If your model isn't in the table, try the methods in order from the simplest to the most complex. Newer devices (Xiaomi 14, Redmi Note 13) may require a combination of several methods.

What to do if the sound of charging still remains

If none of the methods worked, the problem may be related to:

• 🔄 Update MIUI — Some firmware returns sound after the update.
• 🔌 Charger malfunction – cheap cables can cause false sound.
• 📱 Failure of the audio system - requires flashing or resetting to factory settings.

Try the following actions:

1. Connect the original Xiaomi charger – sometimes the sound disappears when using the “native” cable.
2. Check if the Sound function is enabled when connecting devices in the Special Opportunities settings.
3. Perform a factory reset (Settings → About Phone → Reset), but pre-reset the data backup.

If the sound only appears when wireless charging, the problem may be in the Fast Charging settings – try turning it off in Settings → Battery.

⚠️ Note: On some models (Xiaomi) 12S Ultra, POCO F4 GT) The charging sound is hard-sewn into the firmware and doesn't turn off using standard methods, and in this case, only flashing it to the custom version will help. MIUI Android.
