Sound when connecting Xiaomi charging: how to change or disable

Are you tired of the annoying sound every time you connect a Xiaomi smartphone to a charger? or want to replace the standard sound with something more original? In this article, we will explore all possible ways to change or completely disable the charging sound, from standard MIUI settings to hidden features and third-party applications.

The problem is relevant for all models of the brand, from the budget Redmi Note 12 to the flagship Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Moreover, after the transition to HyperOS (new firmware instead of MIUI), the logic of settings has changed a little — we took this into account in the instructions. It is important to understand that the charging sound can depend not only on the firmware, but also on the version of Android installed on the device.

If you've tried to solve this problem by searching for keywords like "charging sound" or "charging notifications" before, but you didn't find anything, don't be surprised. Xiaomi doesn't have a direct menu item to manage that sound, but there are workarounds through system settings and engineering menus. Next, we'll show you all the working methods with the latest 2026 updates.

Why Xiaomi Smartphone Makes Sound When Connecting Charging

The audible signal when powered is part of the MIUI/HyperOS notification system, and it has two main functions:

🔔 Confirmation of connection: the user hears that the charger is properly connected and the charging process has begun.This is especially useful when using wireless charging, where the visual indication may be less noticeable.
⚡ Charging type indication: on some models (e.g. Xiaomi) 13T pro POCO F5) The sound may vary depending on the power of the charger (normal charging, fast, ultra-fast).
🛠️ Diagnostics of problems: the absence of sound can signal a faulty cable, port or adapter, for example, if you have connected a charging device but no sound, it is worth checking the connection.

By default, the charging sound is enabled on all Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices, regardless of the firmware region (Global, China, EEA).

⚠️ Note: Some HyperOS models (e.g. Xiaomi 14 or Redmi) K70) The charging sound may be linked to system notifications, and turning it off will affect other sounds (e.g., headphones or headphones). USB-device).

Method 1: Turn off the sound through notification settings

The easiest method is to use the standard MIUI or HyperOS settings, which is suitable for most models, Released after 2020.

Open the Settings app (the gear icon on the desktop).
Go to Sound and Vibration (HyperOS may be called Sound).
Select Other Sounds or System Sounds (depending on the firmware version).
Find the item Charging Sound (in English firmware - Charging sound) and move the slider to the off position.

If there is no such item, try an alternative path:

Go to Settings. → Notifications.
Select Additional or Advanced Settings.
Find the System Notification Sounds section and turn off Charging.

On HyperOS (for example, on Xiaomi 14 Pro), the path can look like this:

Settings → Sound → System sounds → Connection sounds → Charging

Make sure your smartphone is at least 20% charged.

Connect the original charger

Check if the "Do Not Disturb" mode is on.

Make a backup copy of the settings (optional)-->

⚠️ Note: On some firmware (for example, MIUI 13 China) Disabling the charging sound through settings may reset after rebooting.In this case, use the method with the engineering menu (described below).

If the standard settings do not allow you to change the sound, you can use the engineering menu (#4636###), which works on most devices, but you need to be careful - incorrect actions can disrupt the system.

Instructions:

Open the Phone app and type the combination: ##4636## This will open the hidden Testing menu.
Go to the Hardware Testing tab (Equipment Testing).
Select Audio → System Sounds (System Sounds).
Find the Charging sound and click on it.

Save the changes and restart the device.

On some models (e.g. POCO X5 Pro) the path may be different:

##36446337## → Audio → Charging Sound

Xiaomi model	Combination for the engineering menu	The path to the sound of charging
Redmi Note 12/13	##4636##	Hardware testing → Audio → System Sounds
Xiaomi 13/14	##36446337##	Audio → Charging Sound
POCO F4/F5	##4636##	Testing → Audio → System
Xiaomi Pad 6	##6484##	Media → Charging

💡

If the engineering menu does not open, try entering the combination in the "Phone" application without SIM-In some firmware, access is blocked by the operator.

Method 3: Using Third-Party Applications

If the system methods didn't work, you can use third-party utilities.

🎛️ SoundAssistant (from Samsung, but runs on Xiaomi) - allows you to turn off system sounds selectively, including charging.link to Google Play.
🔊 MacroDroid creates automatic rules, like turning off the sound when you connect the charger. ADB fully functional.
🎧 Zedge – if you want to replace the sound with custom, here you can download melodies and install them through Settings → Sounds.

Example of settings in SoundAssistant:

Install the application and provide all necessary permissions.
Go to the System Sounds section.
Find Charge and turn off the slider.
If necessary, replace the sound with your own by downloading the file in.mp3 or.ogg format.

MacroDroid requires you to create a macro:

Trigger: Connecting Charging (Power → Charging)


Change the sound of notifications (Audio → Notification Sound → Silent)




Restriction: Only when the screen is off (optional)

Standard settings MIUI/HyperOS|

I don't change the sound, I like it.-->

⚠️ Note: Applications like SoundAssistant may conflict with system services MIUI. If after installation there are lags or the sound is completely gone, clear the application cache in the settings (Settings) → Annexes → SoundAssistant → Warehouse → Clear the cache).

Method 4: Editing System Files (for Advanced)

This method is suitable for experienced users who are ready to work with root rights or ADB. It allows you to completely replace the charging sound with a custom file.

Instructions:

Download and install ADB Tools on PC (official page).
Connect your smartphone to your computer and enable USB Debugging (Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version → 7 times click on the version, then go back to Settings → Additional → For Developers → Debugging by USB).
Open the command line in the ADB folder and type: Adb devices Make sure the device is defined.
Download system sounds on PC: adb pull /system/media/audio/ui/
Find the files responsible for charging (usually Charging.ogg or Charging.ogg). Wireless_charging.ogg).
Replace them with your.ogg files (can be converted via an online converter).
Download files back: adb push your file.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/adb shell chmod 644 /system/media/audio/ui/your file.ogg
Reset the device.

What if the sound hasn’t changed after the replacement?

1. Make sure the file name matches the original (e.g. Charging.ogg, not charging.ogg – register is important!). 2. Check file access rights (chmod 644). 3. If you have HyperOS, the path to sounds may be different: /product/media/audio/ui/. 4. Some firmware requires you to disable DM-Verity (via Magisk), otherwise the changes will reset after the reboot.

For root-right users, the process is simplified by using any file manager (such as Root Explorer) and replacing files in /system/media/audio/ui/.

Method 5: Turn off the sound through the "Do Not Disturb" mode

If you need to temporarily turn off the charging sound (e.g. overnight), you can use Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, which does not require superuser rights and works on all versions of MIUI/HyperOS.

How to set up:

Open Settings → Sounds and vibrations → Do not disturb.
Turn on the mode and set the rules:

Save the settings.

Now, when you plug in the charging at the specified time, the sound will not play, which is convenient if you don't want to completely turn off the sound, but only for a certain period.

💡

Do Not Disturb mode does not affect alarms and important notifications (calls from selected contacts), but disables all system sounds, including charging.

Frequent problems and their solutions

When changing the charging sound, users often encounter frequent errors.

Problem.	Possible cause	Decision
The sound is not turned off through the settings	Firmware with limited settings (e.g. MIUI China)	Use the Engineering Menu or ADB
After the reboot, the sound returns.	Resetting system settings	Turn off battery optimization for sound-changing apps
The new sound is not being played.	Incorrect file format or access rights	Convert to.ogg and check for chmod 644
Engineering menu not open	Blocking by operator or firmware	Try another combination (see table above)
It's sounding, but it's very quiet.	Limiting the volume of system sounds	Check the settings in Sounds and Vibration → Media Volume

If none of the methods worked, the reason may be:

🔄 Custom firmware (e.g. LineageOS or Pixel Experience) where the logic of sounds differs.
🔧 Damage to system files after failed update.
🛠️ Hardware problem (for example, speaker or audio chip malfunction).

In the first two cases, a factory reset (Settings → About Phone → Resetting) will help. If the problem is hardware, contact the service center.

FAQ: Answers to Frequent Questions

Can the charging sound be turned off just for wireless charging?

Yes, but not on all models. On HyperOS devices (such as Xiaomi 13T Pro or Xiaomi 14), the wired and wireless charging sounds are separated. Go to Settings → Sounds → System Sounds and turn off only Wireless Charging. If you don't, use MacroDroid to create a separate rule: Trigger: Power → Wireless Charging Action: Turn off the sound (Audio → Mute)

Why did the charging sound change after the MIUI update?

Xiaomi periodically updates system sounds in new versions of firmware. MIUI 14 The sound of the charger is shorter and quieter compared to the MIUI 12. If you don't like the new sound, you can: Bring back the old sound through ADB (see method 4). Reverse to the previous firmware version (risky, can lead to locking the device); Use third-party applications to replace the sound; list of sounds by version MIUI: MIUI 12: high-signal. MIUI 13: softer-sound. MIUI 14/HyperOS: double-signal.

How to turn off the charging sound on Xiaomi Pad (tablet)?

On Xiaomi Pad 5/6 tablets, the logic of the sounds is different from smartphones. To turn off the charging sound: Go to Settings → Sound → System Sounds. Find the Device Connection Sounds and turn it off. If there is no item, use the engineering menu combination: ##6484## and follow the Media → Charging path. On Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro with HyperOS, you may need to turn off the sound via ADB, as system settings are limited.

Will the audio shutdown on a custom firmware (like LineageOS) work?

On custom firmware (for example, LineageOS, Pixel Experience, ArrowOS) the logic of system sounds is different from that of the user. MIUI. To turn off the charging sound: Use ADB Removing system sound: adb shell su mount -o rw,remount /system rm /system/media/audio/ui/Charging.ogg mount -o ro,remount /system Or install a Magisk audio control module (like the Audio Modification Library) and note that on some firmware, the charging sound may be part of an Android system rather than an Android system. MIUI, The paths to the files may be different.

Can the sound of the charge be played only when the battery is fully discharged?

Yes, but it will require automation via MacroDroid or Tasker. MacroDroid macro example: Trigger 1: Charge level ≤ 5% (Battery Level) Trigger 2: Charging connection (Power → Charging) Action: Play sound (Audio → Play Sound → select file) Condition: Only if the screen is off (Display → Screen Off) So the sound will only play when the battery is almost discharged. For Tasker, the logic is similar, but more settings are required.
